Imagine you are a left-hander, Suddenly everything in the world is changed. The dour locks are on the wrong side and turn the wrong way.
Twenty-five million Americans wake up every day in just such a sorry situation. There are one in ten of us who are left-handed and must face the world designed for the right-handed majority.
Why we are left-or right-handed remains a secret. We know that nearly two out of three lefties are men and that left-handedness runs in families. According to one study almost half of the children of two left-handed parents will be left-handed. The Scots-Irish family Kerr produced so many left handers that in 1470 the family built its house stairway with a reverse twist (盘旋).
On the other hand, heredity (遗传) alone cannot explain lefties. At least 84 percent of them are born of two right-handed parents. And in 12 percent of twins, one will be right-handed, the other left.
Perhaps the greatest puzzle of all is not why some people are left-handed, but rather why so few are. In fact, almost equal numbers of individuals (个人) will favor either the right or the left. However, scientists are trying to set things right and they are beginning to study the many ways left-handers differ from right-handers by considering how their brains work.
1．How many of the Americans are left-handers?
[ ]
2．Which of the following is NOT true?
[ ]
A．A left handed man may have a right-handed twin brother.
B．The greater part of left-handers have right-handed parents.
C．One in ten of Americans are left-handed.
D．Most people will prefer the right to the left.
3．From the passage, we can see that________.
[ ]
A．there is at least a left-hander in every American family
B．left-handers are generally cleverer than right-handers
C．most people all over the world are right-handers
D．left-handers lead an uncomfortable life
4．In Paragraph 3, the underlined word “runs” means ________.
[ ]
5．Why so few people are left-handed________.
[ ]
A．has nothing to do with heredity
B．is not known to scientists
C．has little to do with the working of their brains
D．is that left-handers are mainly twins

In the fall of 1924, Thomas Wolfe, newly corning from his courses in playwriting at Harvard, joined the ten of us who were teaching English composition in New York University. I had never before seen a man so tall as he, and so ungraceful (不体面). I pitied him and went out of my way to help him get his work started and to make him feel at home.
His students soon let me know that he had no need of my protectiveness. They spoke of his ability to tell a simple thing in such a manner as to have then bursting into laughter or struggling to keep back their tears, of his habit of writing three pages of remark on a student's one-page composition, and of his astonishing freedom in expressing in words anything he had seen or heard or tasted or felt.
Indeed, his students made so much of his powers of observation that I decided to make a little test and see for myself. My chance came one morning when the students were slowly gathering for nine o'clock classes.
Upon arriving at the university that day, I found Wolfe alone in the large room which served all the English composition teachers as an office. He did not refuse when I asked him to come with me out into the hall, and he only smiled when we reached a classroom door and I told him to enter alone and look around.
He stepped in, remained no more than thirty seconds, and then came out. “Tell me what you see,” I said as I took his place in the room, leaving him in the hall with his back to the door. Without the least hesitation and without a single mistake, he gave the number of seats in the room, pointed out those which boys were seated in and those girls were seated in, named the colors each student was wearing, pointed out the Latin verb written on the blackboard, and pictured in detail (详细) the view of Washington Square from the windows.
As I joined Wolfe again, I was speechless with astonishment. He, on the contrary, was wholly calm as he said, “The worst thing about it is that I'll remember it all.”
1．What is the passage mainly discussing?
