No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he / she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.

　　Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.

　　1. What is the hand for most people used to do?

　　A. It’s used to find or hold things.

　　B. It’s used to work with things.

　　C. It’s used to make a person’s eyes work together.

　　D. It’s the centre for thinking and doing problems.

　　2. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

　　A. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.

　　B. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.

　　C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only.
