Hands play an importanty part in our daily life.But do you know which of your two hadns you use more?Very few people use both hands epually well.Most of us are right-handed.Only about five people out of a hundred are left-handed.New-born babies can take hold of things with either of their hands, but in about two years they usually use their right hands.Scientists don't know why this happens.
Monkeys are our close relatives in the animal world.Scientists have found that monkeys like to use one of their hands more than the other, but it can be either hand.There are as many right-handed monkeys as left-handed ones.Next time you visit a zoo, watch the monkeys carefully, you will see that some of them will use their right hands and others will use their left hands.But most of the people use their right hands better and this makes life difficult for those left-hadned people.We live in a right-handed world.

Do you like sports?If your answer is yes, sometimes you'll find it very difficult to have enough time to do it, even if it's on weekends.However, you don't have to worry now because a“sunshine sports”program was launched(启动)by the Ministry of Education(教育部).
It suggests students around the country have an hour of sports every day.The difference is that students will be able to do any sport they please.The idea is to make students happy and keep them healthy at the same time.
Han Jiawen, from Shanghai Yangsi Middle School, likes the idea.Han and her classmates skip rope together.“We have a good time.”said Han,“Playing is better than having classes.”
Wang Lichao welcomes the idea, too.“It's good to be able to breathe some fresh air instead of sitting in the classroom.”
But the 14-year-old from Tianjin wonders whether there will be enough space for everyone.“With so many students outside,”he said,“I'm afraid there won't be enough standing room in the playground.”
Wu Jiatong's school is in Liaoning.Wu and other students have been jogging(慢跑)for 40 minutes every morning.“It's tiring.”said Wu,“But we do feel healthier.”“We hope we can do what we want.The school says later we can have rope jumping or kicking(踢)Jianzi.I can't wait!”she said.
What about your school?There must be more sports that interest you and your schoolmates.
