　　Right is right Right? But is left wrong? Well, the Romans used to think so. They thought left - handed people were mistakes of nature. Latin, the language of the Romans, had many words that expressed this view(观点). Some words we use today still have this meaning. The Latin word “dexter” means “right” The English word “odexterous” comes from this word. It means “handy” (clever with hands), so, right is handy. But the Latin word for left is “sinistra”, the English word “sinister” comes from this word. Sinister means “evil (very bad). Is it fair to call right - handed people handy and left -handed people evil? Well, fair or not, many languages have words that express such beliefs. In old English, the word for left means“weak”. That isn't much of an improvement over “evil”.

　　Not very long ago, children were often forced to write with their right hands. Doctors have since found that this can be very harmful. You should use the hand you were born to use.

　　People who use their left hands are just starting to get better treatment. But why did they get all these bad names in the first place? One reason may be that there are not as many left - handed people as there are right-handed people. There is one left - handed person for every five right-handed ones . People who are different are often thought to be wrong . But attitudes (态度) do seem to be changing. Fair - minded right - handed people are finally starting to give left- handed people a hand.

　　Immigration officials at airport look suspiciously at a girl whose passport shows her occupation as“Model”, and these are men and women of considerable experience of the world．It comes no surprise to find that some models prefer to put“Secretary”or“Businessman”as their jobs in their passports．
