“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”
That may seem a strange thing to say it. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.

What do Napoleon, Clinton and Wang Nan have in common? They are all left-handed. Today about 15% of the people are left-handed. But why are people left-handed? The answer is the way the brain (大腦) works. The brain has two halves---the right half and the left half. The right half controls (控制) the left side of the body, and the left half controls the right side of the body. So right-handed people have a strong left brain, and the left –handed people have a strong right brain.
The two halves of the brain are about the same size. But each side controls different things. The left side controls language, Maths and logic (邏輯). When you remember new words, or when you put things in order, you use your left side.
The right side of the brain controls colour and music. It is also good at recognizing (認出) faces. This does not mean that all artists are left-handed and all accountants (會計師) are right-handed. Some right-handers have a strong right brain, and some left-handers have a strong left brain.
小題1:From the passage we know _____________.
A．a(chǎn)ll artists are left-handed
B．a(chǎn)ll accountants are right-handed
C．the left side of the brain controls your love of art, colour and music
D．some right-handers have a strong left brain
小題2:Whether是否 people are right-handed or left-handed is mostly decided by ________________.
A．their parentsB．their minds
C．the way the brain worksD．the way the head works
小題3:Each side of the brain _____________.
A．likes music and MathsB．controls different things
C．controls the same thingD．has two halves
小題4:When you are singing, you are using your ___________.
A．logic thinkingB．heart
C．right brainD．left halves
小題5:Which part of the body does the right half of the brain control?
A．The right side of the body.
B．The left side of the body.
C．The heart.
D．The language.

What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
　　Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
　　Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
小題1:We can infer from the first paragraph that ________.
A．learning better at school shows power in your job
B．the better you are at school subjects, the more helpful they are in your career.
C．learning each subject well is an ability in many jobs.
D．we should think about how to find our career
小題2:From the passage we learn that if a student’s school performance is not good, he  will _____.
A．have no hope in his future work
B．be hopeful to find a suitable job
C．regret not having worked harder at school
D．have an opportunity of a new beginning in his future work
小題3:All the subjects may have direct value for job hunting except _________.
A．mathematicsB．EnglishC．historyD．technical drawing
小題4: The passage mainly discusses ___________.
A．The relationship between school performance and career
B．how to get a job
C．How to show strengths in your work
D．working experience and knowledge at school
