People who grow up left-handed have a different, more flexible brain structure than those born to take life by the right hand, say researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles.
The reason is that right-handers have genes that force their brains into a slightly more one-sided structure, according to the research. Left-handers appear to be missing those genes.
"There really is a difference in brains that results in a more symmetric (对称的) brain in left-handers, where the two sides are more equal," said Daniel Geschwind, who led the research team.
In the effort to understand how the brain shapes the mind, researchers have been trying to document the way genes and environment affect intelligence and mental abilities. They found that right-and left-handedness is determined by genetics. If a person has the gene for right-handedness, that person will be right-handed. People who do not have that gene, however, can be either left- or right-handed. There is no specific gene for left-handedness.
Right-handers typically have a larger left brain, where their language abilities are concentrated. Conversely, left-handers have more balanced brains. The language abilities of left-handers more often, are concentrated on the right side.
The UCLA researchers conducted brain scans on 72 pairs of male identical (同卵双生的) twins between 75 and 85 years old. They noticed that if identical twins carry the gene for hand preference, both must be right-handed. If they lack the gene, one twin can develop right-handed while the other can develop left- handed.
The researchers found that the brains of identical right-handed twins were very similar in size and structure. But when a left-hander was part of the twin set, the brains were different. The conclusion, researchers said, is that the absence of the gene for hand preference allows the brain to develop differently as the individual grows up.
1.What is the finding of the researchers of UCLA?
A.Left-handers have more balanced brains. B.Right-handers have more flexible brains.
C.Left-handers' brains are more one- sided. D.Right-handers' brains are more symmetric.

A.Environment. B.Intelligence.

D.They can have different hand preference.
4.What did the UCLA team research on?

Pang Hui placed a few more pairs of chopsticks on the table for a family dinner, though she did not expect her big family of seven would use them as serving chopsticks.
Surprisingly, her 75-year-old father, who used to shrug off the idea of serving chopsticks, became a firm supporter this time, said Pang, 40, from Beihai, a coastal city of South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
Chinese people often share dishes, and diners use their own chopsticks to serve themselves food from the shared dishes, a tradition now being challenged by the outbreak of novel coronavirus.
“We feel a sense of crisis as well as the urge to desert our old habits when we see reports of family infections,” Pang said; pointing to the reports of the virus spreading via droplets (飞沫) and close contact.
Local governments are helping to encourage a shift, too. On Feb 10, local authorities of Beihai started a campaign promoting serving chopsticks and spoons, which will avoid cross-infections caused by the use of personal chopsticks.
Similar measures were also adopted in other cities like BeiJing, Shanghai and Hangzhou. Taizhou city in east China's Jiangsu Province even standardized the colours of serving chopsticks and spoons to help diners differentiate (区分) them from personal ones.
The government is also targeting the practice of eating wild animals, which remains present in certain areas.
China stopped the illegal trading and transportation of wild animals shortly after the outbreak.
The move became a permanent ban on Feb 24, when the country made a decision on thoroughly prohibiting (禁止) the illegal trading of wildlife and the consumption of wild animals.
Li Bo, with the Hainan International Center for Wildlife' Protection, said wild animal consumption could lead to the faster extinction of particular species, damage the ecological balance and harm people's health.
“The epidemic (流行病) could become a turning point to eliminate the bad habit,” Li said.

Over the years, the small Vermilion Heritage Museum in Alberta, Canada, tried everything in its power to unlock an old safe (保险箱) in its basement: The museum hired blacksmiths, called the manufacturer, contacted former employees and challenged visitors to play around with the safe but nobody had any success.
Until last month, when a visitor to Vermilion cracked the code (密码) on his first try, much to the astonishment of everyone present.
Stephen Mills, from Fort McMurray, Alberta, was on a family camping trip with his wife and his two children. After giving the Mills' family a tour of the whole building, the museum volunteer showed them the objects in the basement, including the mysterious safe.
It originally had belonged to the town's Brunswick Hotel which opened in the early 1900s. When the hotel shut down in the late 1970s, the safe was locked: —and so it had remained.
“It was like a time capsule, nobody had any idea of what was in there,” said Mills.
Like other visitors, Mills was offered the chance to take a crack at opening it.
“Just like you see in the movies,” he said, “I looked at the dial and I saw the numbers were running from 0 to 60. So I thought in my head 20-40-60. I did a particular combination which is three on the right, two on the left, and one on the right, tried the handle … and it opened!””
“It was a 100% guess.” he said. “I was fully amazed. I stepped back a lttle bit and thought,
“I'm buying a lottery ticket tonight!””
The contents of the safe proved a little disappointing.
“Unfortunately, there wasn't what we thought was there,” Mills said. “Some papers, old checks, a waitress' notebook, and a receipt from the hotel. That's it.”
Nonetheless, Mills said everyone was excited about the lucky guess. “My children kept screaming “We beat the code! We beat the code!” he said.
1.Who unlocked the mysterious safe?
A.A visitor. B.A volunteer.
C.A blacksmith. D.An employee.
2.How did Mills unlock the old safe?
A.After several attempts. B.Through accurate calculations.
C.By a random guess. D.With professional guidance.
3.What did Mills think of the contents of the safe?
A.Exciting. B.Unexpected.
C.Impressive. D.Valuable.
