On Christmas Eve，the night before Christmas Day，children all over Britain put a stocking at the end of their beds before they go to sleep. Their parents usually tell them that Father Christmas will come during the night.
Father Christmas is very kind and warm-hearted. He gets to the top of each house and climbs down the chimney into the fireplace. He fills each of the stockings with Christmas presents.
Of course, Father Christmas isn't real. In Jim and Kate's house, "Father Christmas" is really Mr. Green. Mr. Green doesn't climb down the chimney. He waits until the children are asleep. Then he quietly goes into their bedrooms and fills their stockings with small presents. When they were very young, Mr. Green sometimes wore a red coat. But he doesn't do that now. The children are no longer young, and they know who "Father Christmas" really is. But they still put their stockings at the end of their beds.

As we all know, there are two kinds of Olympic Games in the world—the Summer Olympic and the Winter Olympic. The Winter Olympic is also called the White Olympic. At this time, many colorful stamps are published to mark the great Games. The first stamps marking the opening came out on January 25, 1932 in the United States for the 3rd White Olympic. From then on, publishing stamps during the White Olympic became a rule.
During the 4th Winter Olympic a group of stamps were published in Germany in November 1936. The five rings of Olympic were drawn on the front of the sportswear. It was the first time that the rings appeared on the stamps of the Winter Olympics.
In the 1950’s , the stamps of this kind became more colorful. When the White Olympics came, the host countries as well as the non-host countries published stamps to mark those Games. China also published four stamps in February 1980, when the Chinese sports men began to take part in the Winter Olympics.
Different kinds of sports were drawn on these small stamps. People can enjoy the beauty of the wonderful movements of some sportsmen.

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.
32.How many people in the world are left-handed now? A. More than a half.
B. Less than one sixth. C. About 40%. D. The passage doesn’t tell us.
33.Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “damaged” in this
passage?
A. knocked
B. harmed
C. broke
D. changed
34.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.
B. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.
C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only.
D. Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed. 35.The best title for this passage is _______.
A. Scientists’ New Inventions
B. Left-handed People
C. Which Hand
D. Different Brains, Different Hands
E
