第二部分 閱讀理解（共10小題；每小題2分，滿分20分）

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

A

MUNICH—Albert Einstein and Leonardo da Vinci were in the club； Bill Clinton and Bill Gates are also among its most famous members. Left-handed people， however， are considered less intelligent or unskillful with their hands.

Schools in many countries may allow children to write with their left hand， but in the meantime “the idea that children should be re-educated to write with the right hand has not yet been removed from the heads of many parents and grand-parents，” says Elizabeth Werthmueller of the Left-handers Initiative in Fulda in central Germany.

International Left-handed Day was held on August 13，1976， and it was a public holiday in the US.

Nowadays interest is steadily growing and there are several advice centers to provide advice and actively campaign against the opinion that left-handers are unskillful.

Psychologist and psychotherapist （精神病醫(yī)生） Johanna Barbara Sattler， who founded the first advice center for left-handers in Munich in 1985， can only shake her head over some of the conclusions shes heard. “Left-handed people die nine years earlier than right-handers” is just a rumor.

Sattler thinks that the process of changing writing hands means a sudden attack on the brain. Memory and speech weaknesses are the results， she says， because left or right-handedness， which scientists say is in any case inherited （遺傳）， is controlled by the hemispheres （大腦半球） of the brain. These are connected to the opposite body-half by crossed nerves.

In left-handers， the right hemisphere is functionally leading. It is primarily responsible for determining space preferences and thought. This explains why left-handed people are often described as particularly creative.

But in the workplace， they often have problems in using technical machines. However， it is always better to choose another job than to retrain to use the right hand， according to Sattler.

In contrast to 30 years ago， left-handers are no longer forced to switch to their right hand in German schools， yet many teachers still have no idea how they can help left-handers with practical advice. Instead， these children often have to hear that they have to get along with “the problem” themselves.

Crows （烏鴉） eat many different kinds of foods. They like many kinds of seeds， grasses， and fruits. Crows eat insects such as beetles （甲蟲）. A crow will eat smaller birds and their eggs. Crows that live near the shore often eat shellfish. Most crows live in the wild， but sometimes a crow is kept as a pet. One family in Africa had two pets， a crow and a puppy （小狗）. One day the puppy vanished. Its owner looked for it but couldnt find it anywhere. They feared that their dog was lost forever in the woods.

At about the same time the puppy vanished， the crow began to eat in an unusual way. Instead of eating its dinner all at a time， the crow would take a piece of food and fly away with it， then in a little while it would come back and do it again. The people were curious about the crows new eating habits， so one day they followed the bird. The crow led the people into the woods， where they found their puppy with its leg caught in a trap （陷阱）.
