On a British Airways flight from Johannesburg, a middle-aged ,rich white South American lady found herself sitting next to a black man. She called the cabin stewardess(機(jī)艙乘務(wù)員)over to complain about her seating.
“What seems to be the problem, Madam?” asked the stewardess.
“Can’t you see?” she said. “You’ve sat me next to a black man. I can’t possibly sit next to this kind of human. Find me another seat!”
“Please calm down, Madam,” the stewardess replied. “The flight is very full today, but I’ll tell you what I’ll do---IWill go and check to see if we have any free seats in Club(商務(wù)艙)or First Class.”
The lady had an unfriendly look at the outraged(被激怒的)black man beside her.
A few minutes later the stewardess returned and said to the lady with a self –satisfied smile, “I’m sorry, Madam, this Economy(經(jīng)濟(jì)艙)is full, and Club is also full. However, we do have one seat in First Class.”
The lady could not help looking at the people around her. But before she had a chance to get up or make any answer, the stewardess continued , “ We seldom make this kind of upgrade(升級),however, and I had to report it to the captain(機(jī)長).When the captain heard this,he said that it was not proper to make someone sit next to such an obnoxious(令人討厭的)person.” Having said that, the stewardess turned to the black man sitting next to the lady, and said, “So if you’d like to get your things, sir, I have a seat ready for you…”
At this time, the people around stood up and clapped their hands. The black man walked up to the front of the plane.
That was an unforgettable flight for me, for I was the black man who had never flown First Class before.

A group of swans flew down to a beach where a crow (烏鴉) was jumping around. The crow watched them with disdain (筆試).
“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, that’s beyond you. Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”
One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge (挑戰(zhàn)). The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.
Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments (評價) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.
The swan pretended (假裝) not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick? “
“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride (自大) ! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life...”

To understand left-handedness, it is necessary to look at the         . The brain is divided into two hemispheres（半球）. The left hemisphere is the center of language and logical thinking. This is where they do their math problems and memorize words. However, the         hemisphere controls how they understand ideas and         they respond（作出反應(yīng)） to the five senses—sight, hearing,        , taste, and touch.

In left-handed people, the right hemisphere is         .
Lefties prefer not only the left hand but also the left         . They would rather use the left foot to kick a ball because their whole body is “l(fā)eft-handed”.
From Newtown      Albert Einstein, Wen Jiabao to Obama, Choplin to Zhao Benshan, many    people are left-handed. Are you left-handed even though you are forced to write with your right hand? Don’t worry if you are, you are in good company.
小題1:A. enjoy           B. prefer           C. want
