32、h others.I teach a course called History Matters in college. My goals for the class include a deep discussion of historical subjects and ideas. Because I want students to fully study the material and discuss with each other in the classroom, I have a rule - no computers, iPads, phones, etc.When stud

33、ents were told my rule, some of them were not happy.Most students think my reasons for this rule includenegative experiences in the past whenstudents made wrong use of technology. There' s a bit of truth to that. I ' ve seldom had students make wrong use of technology in my classes; however,

34、 I have been e-mailed by students while they were in other teachers ' classrooms.Some students think that I am anti-technology.There' s no truth in that at all. As I notedabove, I love technology and try to keep up with it.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is

41、to develop their deep thinkingD. it is time for him to give up his teaching method in history classDMost people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people

42、shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world ' s population is left -handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person

43、' s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, theleft hand is used to findthings or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person' s handsand eyes work

44、 together, controls the left hand. The left side of the brain, whichcontrols theright hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in othe

45、r jobs.No one really knows what makes a person becomeright-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn ' t happen to everyon e, so scientists guess there must be

46、another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因)for right-handedness, he / shemay become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.Though

47、 right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don' t have to.()61. What did the scientists find after studying w

48、orks of art made at different times in history?A. The art began from 1,500 B.C.B. The works of art ended in the 1950s.C. Most people shown in the works of art are right-handed.D.
