They were all left-handed, along with other famous people including Brad Pitt PrinceWilliam, and Barack Obama. In fact, an estimated 13 percent of the worldspopulation may be left-handed and still most people around the world are right-handed.What makes a person become right-handed rather than left-handed? As yet no onereally knows for sure. One simple idea suggests that people normally get right-handedness from their parents. Studies have found that two right-handed parents have only a 9.5 percent chance of having a left-handed child, whereas two left-handed parents have a 26 percent chance of having a left-handed child. Another common theory is that left-handed people suffer mild brain damage during birth, which makes them left-handed. However, if this theory were true, it would not explain why the percentage of left-banded people is so similar in every society, when birth conditions vary so much from society to society.Whatever the reasons behind it, peoples attitudes toward left-handedness have changed a lot over the years. Statistics show that although 13 percent of young people (10-20 years old) are left-handed, only 6 percent of the elderly are left-handed. Left-handed children used to be punished until they began using their right hand like other children, but today people who are left-handed are no longer looked down on nor are they considered abnormal. For most people today, either case is perfectly acceptable.1、What makes one right-handed?AThe environment.BMild brain damage during birth.CThe reason is uncertain.DOther people.2、Why is the number of young people who are left-handed bigger than that of the elderly?ABecause the elderly are forced to become right-handed.BBecause left-handed people are considered abnormal.CBecause left-handedness can be cured.DBecause the young are easily damaged.3、What does the text mainly talk about?ALeft-handed people are looked down upon.BGeneral facts about left-handed people.CSome famous left-handed people.DThe reasons why people are left-handed.Text 2 You may not be aware, but digital currency (货币) is a big part of the Internet world.
