"Problems and worries are normal （正常）in life，"says Laura．"But I think talking to someone helps a lot．If we don't talk to someone，we'll certainly feel （1） ．"
Laura once lost her （2） ，and worried for days．She was afraid to tell her parents about it．She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn't have any money．She just kept （3） of the problem again and again in her mind．"If I tell my parents，they'll be angry！"But in the end，she talked to her parents and they were really （4） ．Her dad said that he （5） made careless mistakes himself．They got her a new wallet and asked her to be more careful．"I will always remember to （6） my problems in the future!"Laura says．
Robert Hunt advises students about common （7） ．He feels the same way as Laura．"It is best not to avoid our problems．We should always try to solve them．"He thinks that you can first find someone to talk to．This person doesn't need to be an expert （专家）like himself．Students often forget that their parents have more （8） than them，and are always there to （9） them．
In English，we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half．So you're halfway to solving a problem if you talk to （10） about it．

Are You Right Handed or Left Handed？
Which hand do you use when write？About 8to 15percent of people are left handed．They often have to use tools that are designed for right﹣handed people．So it is difficult for left﹣handers to use most tools．If you are right handed，try this experiment：Take a knife with your left hand and try cutting a potato into pieces．Don't be surprised if you feel awkward（别扭的）．
In the past，people thought it was strange to use the left hand．Young students looked down upon their left﹣handed classmates．Some children were even punished for using their left hand to write．But these days parents and teachers have accepted that．In almost every school in the world，left﹣handed students can use their left hand to write．
What causes people to be left handed or right handed？Experts have searched long and hard on this．They conclude（得出结论） that left﹣handed people are left handed for the same reason that right﹣handed people are right handed．One out of every ten people just is a left﹣handed people are right handed．One out of every ten people just is a left﹣hander．It's simply like the color of our eyes﹣some people have brown eyes，while some others have black eyes．
However，may researchers think that left﹣handers and right﹣handers are different in some aspects．Right﹣handers are more talkative and outgoing than left﹣handers．Many right﹣handed people understand spoken words better．For example，after they listen to directions to a supermarket，they can find it easily．Right﹣handers are good at organizing people，too．They are also better basketball guards．Just ask Yao Ming．
Research shows that left﹣handers are creative and artistic．Many famous performers，like Jim Carrey and Paul McCartney，are left handed．Many left﹣handers learn better visually（在视觉方面）．In art，both Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo were left handed．In music，Ludwig van Beethoven was left handed．In science，you find Newton and Einstein．The left﹣handed people are also really good at tennis and other single sports．
If you prefer one hand，but you are still good at writing with the other，you are mixed．Research shows mixed﹣handers can remember everyday things better than other people．What did you eat for lunch two weeks ago？If you're mixed handed，you can probably remember．
49．If right﹣handers cut up potatoes with there left hand，they will ．
| A． |
get hurt |
| B． |
give up cutting |
| C． |
feel awkward |
| D． |
change their tools |
50．What is Paragraph 2mainly about？
| A． |
Causes of being left handed． |
| B． |
Encouragement to left﹣handers |
| C． |
Punishment for using the left hand． |
| D． |
Changes in opinions on left﹣handers． |
51．According to the passage，right﹣handers ．
| A． |
learn better visually |
| B． |
are good organizers |
| C． |
are better at single sports |
| D． |
give clear directions to others |
52．From the passage，we can learn that left﹣handers ．
| A． |
may be more talkative and outgoing |
| B． |
are ordinary people like right﹣handers |
| C． |
might remember everyday things better |
| D． |
no longer need to use right﹣handed tools． |

Coming home from school every day，Molly peeked at （偷看） Dad when Mum wasn't （7） ，but every time he shook his head．
On Christmas Eve，Dad came back from mailbox，still empty handed．Molly felt（8） when she went to bed，because she didn't have the gloves for Mum．

Mum looked from Dad to Molly and opened the box．Her eyes lit up when she saw the gloves．"Oh，who bought these for me？"she asked．
"Santa did，"said Molly smilingly．

It was Christmas that no one would ever forget．
