As a new teacher in Denver， Kyle felt that there was something she didn't know about her students． She thought up a lesson plan called "I Wish My Teacher Knew．"
For the activity， Kyle's students wrote down a thought for their teacher and shared something they'd like her to know about．
The students loved this idea． Many of them were not only willing to include their names， but also enjoyed sharing it with the class．
"I wish my teacher knew I don't have pencils at home to do my homework，" one wrote．
"I wish my teacher knew I don't have friends to play with me，" another shared．
"I wish my teacher knew sometimes my homework is not signed （签名） because my mum is not around a lot，" read another．
After she learnt most of her students led heartbreaking lives，Kyle shared some of the notes on social media．She hoped other teachers would use the same lesson with their own students．Soon posts and photos of notes from other schools poured in（涌入） from around the world．
"After one student shared that she had no one to play with at break， the next day during break I noticed she was playing with a group of girls． Not only can I support my students， but my students can support each other，" said Kyle．
Kyle's story won the hearts of many people．
"I take my hat off to this teacher． It must have been heartbreaking after reading these stories．"
"If every person did one nice thing for someone， no matter how small， the world would be a better place．"

Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed.
Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the left hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.
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. What did the scientists find after studying works of art made at different times in history?
A. The art began from 1,500 B.C.
B. The works of art ended in the 1950s.
C. Most people shown in the works of art are right-handed.
D. Most people shown in the works of art are left-handed.How many people in the world are left-handed now?
| A．About 10%-15%. | B．About 50%. |
| C．About 40%. | D．The passage doesn’t tell us. |
What is the left hand for most people used to do?
| A．It’s used to work with things. |
| B．It’s used to find or hold things. |
| C．It’s used to make a person’s eyes work together. |
| D．It’s the centre for thinking and doing problems. |
According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
| A．Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness. |
| B．Today children are not made to use their right hands only. |
| C．No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed. |
| D．Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed. |
The best TITLE for this passage is _______.
| A．Scientists’ New Inventions | B．Left-handed People |
| C．How Brains Control Hands | D．Which Hand |
