25、o the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my computer, as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. However, I know there are times when I need to move away from these things and truly communicate with others.I teach a course called History Matters in college. My goals for the clas

26、s include a deep discussion of historical subjects and ideas. Because I want students to fully study the material and discuss with each other in the classroom, I have a rule no computers, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule, some of them were not happy.Most students think my reasons

27、for this rule include negative experiences in the past when students made wrong use of technology. Theres a bit of truth to that. Ive seldom had students make wrong use of technology in my classes; however, I have been e-mailed by students while they were in other teachers classrooms.Some students t

28、hink that I am anti-technology. Theres no truth in that at all. As I noted above, I love technology and try to keep up with it.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations. Interruptions (中断) by techno

29、logy often break students thoughts and make them depend too much on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep in themselves for ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course material and the class discussion.I have been teachin

30、g my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations (评价) show student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize with deep conversation and difficult tasks, they learn at a deeper level a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.I am no

35、le 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

36、 through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the worlds population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a persons two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the left hand is used to find things or hold things. The right

37、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 persons 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 do

38、ing 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

39、40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesnt 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

40、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 ti

41、me ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they dont have to.( )61.

According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.B. Today children are no

44、t 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.( )65.
