It was just three degrees above zero. “That’s cool,” thought Jane as she got ready to deliver her morning papers. Jane had 50 customers, and on a cold morning when she couldn’t ride her bicycle, it took her more than an hour to make her rounds.

As she collected her papers and put them into a big canvas bag, Jane regretted that she hadn’t finished her math homework the night before. There was still time. She’d hurry with the papers and finish the math before breakfast.

Less than an hour later Jane was nearly finished. She had only five customers to go. She could then head for home to complete her math while her mom fixed breakfast. As she rounded the corner, she saw a car in the middle of the street. It was Mr. Zimmerman, the elderly man who

walked with a walking stick. His car was out of gas.

“I’d like to help Mr. Zimmerman,” thought Jane, “but if I do, I won’t have time to do my homework.” She hated to think what Mr. Roberts would say if she hadn’t completed her papers.

“It’s his own fault for running out of gas,” Jane talked to herself. “The station is only a half mile down the street. Surely Mr. Zimmerman can walk that far, even on a cold morning like this…can’t he?” As she walked down the street, Jane wondered what to do… 1. Jane delivers her papers __________. A. before she goes to school B. always on cold morning C. with the help of Mr. Zimmerman’s car D. on the way to school 2. Mr. Zimmerman was old and __________.

Which of your hands do you use most? Very few of us both use both of our hands well. Most of us are right-handed. Only about five people out of a hundred are left-handed. New-born babies can take things with either of their hands, but in about two years they like to use their right hands. Scientists don’t know why this happens. They have studied it. They think our animal ancestors (祖先) were right-handed., but this may not be true. Monkeys are our closest relations in the animal world. Scientists have found that monkeys like to use one of their hands more than the other. But it can be either hand. Next time you visit the zoo, watch the monkeys carefully. You’ll see that some of them will swing with their right hands and others will use their left hands. But most human-beings use their right hands better, and most things are designed for the right-handed people. This makes life difficult for the left-handed ones.
