Why are so few of us left-handed? One theory is that handedness (hand preference) could be a result of genetics.Scientists say that there are two genes (基因) associated with handedness.One is the D gene.It is more frequent in the population and promotes (促成) right-hand preference.The other is the C gene.It has the ability to promote a preference for either hand.When the C gene is present, there is a 50% chance that a person could be right- or left-handed. Another theory has to do with human brains, which are made up of two halves.If the left half is more powerful, then one is most likely right-handed.But with left-handers, it is more complicated.Seventy percent of them are also left-brain dominant (占优势的).The other 30% have right-side dominant brains. During the 18th and 19th centuries, left-handedness was considered a disability.But not all of the myths about left-handers are bad.One myth suggests that they are more creative and smarter than the right-handers.So far scientific research has yet to find any divuth to these claims.In fact, a 2013 survey out of New Zealand found that left-handers and right-handers were the same. Life might be a little more complicated for left-handers when it comes to cutting a piece of paper or opening a bottle of wine.However, it seems to be a good sign if you are divying to make it to the White House.The right-handers are nine times as many as the left-handers.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】【文章导读】文章主要介绍了习惯用左手的人可能会在生活中面临很多困难,以及探究了左撇子形成的原因。 根据第一段第一句话“About 90% of people in the world today are right-handed.The other 10% are left-handed.”可知,世界上90%的人习惯用右手,其余10%的人是左撇子。习惯用右手的人是习惯用左手的人的9倍。题干描述与原文一致,故选A。
