12、majority of people, about nine out of ten, are right-handed. 【C1】_until recently, people who were left-handed were considered【C2】_, and once children showed this tendency they were forced to use their right hands. Today left-handedness is generally【C3】_, but it is still a disadvantage in a world【C4】
13、_most people are right-handed. For example, most tools and implements are still【C5】_for right-handed people. In sports, 【C6】_contrast, doing things with the left hand or foot, is often an advantage. Throwing, kicking, punching or batting from the【C7】_side may result in throwing【C8】_many opponents wh
14、o are more accustomed to dealing with the【C9】_of players who are right-handed. This is why, in many【C10】_at a professional level, a【C11】_proportion of players are left-handed than in the population as a whole. The word “right“ in many languages means “correct“ or is【C12】_with lawfulness, whereas the
15、 words associated【C13】_“left“, such as “sinister“ , generally have【C14】_associations. Moreover, among a number of primitive peoples, there is【C15】_close association between death and the left hand. In the past, in【C16】_Western societies, children were often forced to use their right hands, especiall
16、y to write with. In some cases the left hand was【C17】_behind the child s back so that it could not be used. If, in the future, they are allowed to choose, 【C18】_will certainly be more lefthanders, and probably【C19】_people with minor psychological disturbances as a result of being forced to use their

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D.（分数：10.00）_In the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful
21、events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Negative events like “serious illness of a family member“ were high on the list, but so were some positive life-changing events, like marriage. When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does n
22、ot reflect how you deal with stressit only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy. By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work
23、 and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow, the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Women s magazines ran headlines like “ Stress causes illness I“ if you want to stay physically and mentally healthy, the articles said, avoid stressful events. But such simplistic advice is
24、 impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous, many like the death of a loved oneare impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who want
25、ed to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move. The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what we know about people. It assumes we re all vulnerable and passive in the face of adversity. But what about human initiative and creativity?
26、 Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental vigor than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom, and physical and mental strain.（分数：10.00）(1).The result of Holmes-Rahe s medical research tells us_.（分数：2.00）A.the way you han
27、dle major events may cause stressB.what should be done to avoid stressC.what kind of event would cause stressD.how to cope with sudden changes in life(2).The studies on stress in the early 1970 s led to_.（分数：2.00）A.widespread concern over its harmful effectsB.great panic over the mental disorder it
28、could causeC.an intensive research into stress-related illnessesD.popular avoidance of stressful jobs(3).The score of the Holmes-Rahe test shows_.（分数：2.00）A.how much pressure you are underB.how positive events can change your lifeC.how stressful a major event can beD.how you can deal with life-chang
29、ing events(4).Why is “such simplistic advice“(line 1 , Para. 3)impossible to follow?（分数：2.00）A.No one can stay on the same job for long.B.No prescription is effective in relieving stress.C.People have to get married someday.D.You could be missing opportunities as well.(5).According to the passage pe
30、ople who have experienced ups and downs may become_.（分数：2.00）A.nervous when faced with difficultiesB.physically and mentally strainedC.more capable of coping with adversityD.indifferent toward what happens to themEver since Stephanies 13th birthday we have been receiving comments from other adults e
31、xpressing their sympathies because our daughter is now a teenage. Weve heard everything from, “Sure she s a good kid, but just wait, now that she s a teenager “ to the ever inspiring, “well, all kids are rotten when they are teenagers, just try to go through it the best way you can. “ What s more up
32、setting is that many of these insensitive adults feel the need to share their negative predictions well within the hearing of both our daughters. I know that teenagers can be moody and difficult at times, but I m 32 and I can also be difficult and moody. We worry about the future and want today s ki
33、ds to know that we care for them and that there are opportunities that await them. However, at the very point they set out on that journey toward adulthood we stand there watching them disapprovingly, just waiting for them to make a mistake, “just like we knew they would. “ We tell them to respect t
34、hemselves and to say no to drugs, yet we fail to set a positive example by treating them with kindness and consideration, demonstrating our respect for them. I have, at times, been guilty of this behavior but am now realizing that the more I see each person as a person, the more I am pleasantly surp
35、rised in some way or another. For example, a few weeks ago my husband and I were having dinner at our favorite restaurant and two teenage boys came in and sat down right beside us. I must admit that my first thought was, “Perfect, there goes our quiet, peaceful dinner. “ I was so wrong! These young
36、men were well behaved, quiet, and left a nice tip for the waitress. Once I looked beyond the jeans so loose they were practically falling off and the multi-colored hair, I saw what fine people these kids were. Many of the people who, perhaps unknowingly, treat teens with disrespect are unhappy about
37、 the fact that pop singers and sports stars are our children s heroes. I feel that unless we give them something better to go after, we really shouldnt complain.（分数：10.00）(1).When their children reach their teens, parents usually expect_.（分数：2.00）A.troubleB.sympathyC.congratulationsD.inspiring comme
38、nts(2).In the author s opinion, the trouble with parents is_.（分数：2.00）A.they are too watchful of their teenage childrenB.they are too concerned about their children s futureC.they fail to treat teenagers with sufficient kindness and respectD.they speak ill of their children within their hearing(3).W
39、hen two teenagers came into the restaurant and sat beside the author, her first thought was（分数：2.00）A.her quiet dinner with her husband would be ruinedB.something interesting was going to happen over dinnerC.they were wrong to have chosen this restaurant for dinnerD.she and her husband were going to
40、 have a pleasant surprise(4).What does the author think of the two teenage boys?（分数：2.00）A.They are typical of teenagers who weal ill-fitting clothes and dye their hair .B.They may become nice people if they are willing to change their lifestyle.C.They are fine young men despite their loose jeans an
41、d multi-colored hair.D.They will respect you if you respect them.(5).What is the main idea of the last paragraph?（分数：2.00）A.There is nothing wrong with teenagers admiring pop singers and sport stars.B.Pop singers and sport stars should not be heroes of our children.C.If our children admire pop singers and sports stars, it is the parents who are to blame.D.Parents should set a good example for their children to follow.In the Unit
