    In Britain in the 1890s there was a postcard "craze". People formed clubs and collected and exchanged postcards Even Queen Victoria had her own private collection. When Edward was the king, the British had a cheap and good postal system, If anyone wanted to tell a friend that they were coming for tea in the afternoon, they would send a postcard in the morning. "Drop me a card was as common then as "give me a ring" as now.

    In 1902 an important step was taken. The government said that haft of the side that was used for the address on the postcard could be used for messages, and the whole of the other side could be used for a picture. It was then that the simple postcard, as we know now, was created.

    I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise. At the end I said "Sonny remember: slow and steady wins the race. Don't you think there's something to learn from the tortoise?" He opened his eyes wide. "Do you mean next when I'm entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy and Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep half-way?"

    I was shocked. "But the tortoise didn't wish the hare would fall asleep!"

"He must have wished that," Sonny. said. "Otherwise how could he be so stupid as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he time If did." "He didn't have such a wish," I insisted. "How won the race by perseverance, (毅力) ,by pushing on steadily."

    Sonny thought for a while. "That's a lie," he said. "He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn't happened to fall asleep., the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady, as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he'd never have won the race. That's for sure."

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 1500 B. C, to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-hand so the scientists guessed that right- handcdncss 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 scientistsguess 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.

67. After studying works of art made at different times in history, the scientists found

    A. the art began from 1500 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 in the works of art are left-handed

68. What is the left hand for most people used to do?

    A. It's used to find or hold things. 

    B. It's used to work with things.

    C. It's used to make a person's eyes and hands work together.

    D. It's the centre for thinking and doing problems.

69. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

    A. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.

    B. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.

    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

70. The best title for this passage is

    A. Scientists' New inventions   B. Left-handed People

    C. Which Hand                   D. Different Brains, Different Hands
