2、Answer Sheet. Imagine you are Alice, stepping through the looking glass. Suddenly everything is re versed. Doorknobs are on the wrong side of doors. The gearshift in your car is in the wrong place. Twenty-five million Americans wake up every day in just such an awkward situation. They are the one in

3、 ten of us who are left-handed and must face the world designed for the right-handed majority. Why we are left-or-right-handed remains one of the great unsolved mysteries of science. We know that nearly two out of three lefties are male and that left-handedness runs in families. According to one stu

4、dy, almost half the offspring of two left-handed parents will be lefthanded. The Scots-Irish family Kerr (from the Gaelic word for left) produced so many left-handers that in 1470 the family built its castles spiral stairways with a reverse twist to favor left-handed swordsmen. On the other hand, he

5、redity alone cannot explain leffies. At least 84 percent of them are born of two right-handed parents. And in 12 percent of genetically identical twins, one will be right-handed, the other left. Perhaps the greatest puzzle of all is not why some people are left-handed, but rather why so few are. So,

6、 scientists are trying to discover the truth of the matter, and they are beginning to gain insight into many ways left-handed differ from right-handed by considering how their brains work. 1.

10、s, is that part of the process of production and exchange that is concerned with the flow of goods and services from producer to consumer.

11、Marketing includes the activities of all those who are engaged in the transfer of goods from producer to consumer-not only those who buy and sell directly, wholesale and retail, but also those who warehouse, grade, transport, in sure, finance, or otherwise have a hand in the process of transfer.

Where production is for direct use, as in the subsistence farm, the feudal mano

13、r (莊園), or the communal group, there is little need for exchange of good because the division of labour is poorly developed and most people produce the same or similar goods. Interregional exchange between disparate geographic areas depends on adequate means of transportation. This, before the devel

14、opment of area travel and navigation, there was little change of the products of one region for those of another. Where systems of transportation are well developed as in the Mediterranean in ancient times and throughout most of the world in modern times, interregional trade has been substantial. Th

15、e village market of fair, the itinerant (巡游的) merchant or peddle, and the shop where customers could have such goods as shoes and furniture made to order were features of marketing up in rural Europe. 6.

21、rica, the middle classes, and even the well-paid working class, have pursued happiness according to the prescription of the Declaration of Independence. But in recent years it has become more and more evident that this pursuit has led to a brave new world of consumer goods and services. And, as in A

22、ldous Huxleys great novel of that name, this world took over, not just the body, but the spirit of man. Not only does the modern man buy material junk at the supermarket, he buys spiritual junk from the movies and television, those supermarkets of the soul. Man is now happy by definition; but whethe

23、r this is the happiness which the rebels of 1776 had in mind is a moot(爭論未決的) point. It is certainly not the happiness sought by the rebels of 1960s. They consider it a form of consciousness too narrow to be dignified with the word human, and so have initiated an era of significant, if symbolic, pro

24、test. Although hairdos and clothing, drugs and rock music are hardly, in themselves, worth a fight to death, for the rebels of the 60s, they have become symbols of more than just a life style.
