But I had to be sure no one, not even my wife, saw me.It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected. I said that the chi

34、ldren were tired and needed to get to bed. It was partly true. But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan.First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early

35、. I told him 10:30 pm was not early. As usual, I read them a bed time story, but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret.Silence finally came, and feeling like a thief in the night, I went out of the house and into the garage. Taking one end, I pulled the bag out from

36、its hiding place and took it into the garden. I was worried that my neighbours might see me and call the police.It was already eleven o clock.

40、-d-c-b s work?D. Angry.s population isMost 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 guess

41、ed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the hand is used to find things

42、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 eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for

43、thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-h anded, 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 fo

44、und that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn 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

45、 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 unus

46、ual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they dono. t have t62. How many people in the world are left-handed now?A. Less than one sixth.? B. More than a half. C. About 40% D.The passage doesn t tell us. 63.Which of the following has

47、 the closest meaning to the underlined word a damagedin this passage?A. knockedB. changedC. brokeD. harmed64. 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 chil

52、comes. Suddenly, you feel so nervous that you cant answer the questions. If this sounds like you, you may have a case of test anxiety- the nervous feeling that people sometimes get when they re about to take a test.Test anxiety can be a real problem when someone is so stressed out over a test that h

53、e or she cant focus on the test questions and do his or her best work. Feeling ready to meet the challenge, though, can keep test anxiety at a manageable level.Use a little stress to your advantage. Stress is a signal that helps you prepare for something important that is about to happen. Instead of

54、 reacting to the stress by worrying or complaining about the test with friends, let stress remind you to study well before a test.Ask for help. If having a test stresses you out so much that your mind goes blank and causes you to miss answers that you know, then your level of test anxiety probably n

55、eeds your care. You should talk to your teacher if you get extreme test anxiety.Be prepared. Some students think that going to class is all it takes to learn and do well in tests, but there is much more to learni ng than just hoping to take in everything in class. That is why good study habits and s

56、kills are so important -and why no amount of cramming （ 臨時(shí)死 記硬背）or study the night before a test can take the place of the deeper level of learning that happens over time with regular study.Also, take care of your health- by getting enough sleep, exercise, and eating well before a test -can help keep your mind working at its best.Everything takes time and practice, and learning to beat test anxiety is no different. It won t go away overnight, but facing and dealing with test anxiety will help you deal with stress manage
