     Hands play an important part in our daily life. But do you know which of your two hands you use more?
Very few people use both hands equally 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-handed people. We live in a right-handed world.

1. How many people among 100 people use their left hands better?

A. 5%.
B. 50%.
C. 95%.

A. 公正地
B. 均等地

     It was an exciting moment for Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo, a retired married couple from Harbin, China.
It was also a great moment for China because it was the country's first gold medal in the pairs figure (花樣)
skating competition at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games.
     Everyone was very quiet when Shen and Zhao were skating onto the ice. They were expecting something
wonderful to happen. As soon as the music started, Shen and Zhao skated around the field quickly with
beautiful style; every move was perfect. When the music stopped, all the people cheered. In the end Shen
and Zhao won the Olympic gold medal.
     In China, winter sports are not as popular as they are in America and Northern European countries. So
China sent only 90 athletes to Vancouver to take in a few, carefully chosen sports. Such a good decision also
led to Wang Meng and Zhao Yang winning gold medals in the little known, but exciting sports of short track
(軌道) speed skating.
     China did not win a lot of medals at these Winter Games. Most of the events are still very new to China
and need to be developed. But Chinese athletes learn very quickly. For example, China's women's curling team (冰壺隊) only began in 2003, but they were No. 1 at the 2009 World Women's Curling Championship.
     This means that with hard work and a bit of luck, China's winter stars could soon shine on the world
stage.

A. pairs of figure skating
