Lefthanded people, however, are considered less intelligent or unskillful with their hands. Schools in many countries may allow children to write with their left hand, but in the meantime “the idea that children should be reeducated to write with the right hand has not yet been removed from the heads of many parents and grandparents,” says Elizabeth Werthmueller of the Lefthanders’ Initiative in Fulda in central Germany. International Lefthanded Day was held on August 13, 1976 it was a public holiday in the US. Nowadays interest is steadily growing and there are several advice centers to provide advice and actively campaign against the opinion that lefthanders are unskillful. Psychologist and psychotherapist 精神病医生 Johanna Barbara Sattler, who founded the first advice center for lefthanders in Munich in 1985,can only shake her head over some of the conclusions she’s heard. “Lefthanded people die nine years earlier than righthanders” is one rumour Sattler says that the process of changing writing hands means a sudden attack on the brain. Memory and speech defects 缺点 are the results, she says, because left or righthandedness, which scientists say is in any case inherited 遗 传 , is controlled by the hemispheres 大脑半球 of the brain. These are connected to the opposite bodyhalf by crossed nerves. In lefthanders, the right hemisphere is functionally dominant 支配 . It is primarily 6 responsible for determining space preferences and thought. This explains why lefthanded people are often described as particularly creative. But in the workplace, they often have problems in using technical devices. However, it is always better to choose another job than to retrain to use the right hand, says Expert Sattler. In contrast to 30 ears ago, lefthander are no longer forced to switch to their right hand in German schools, yet many teachers still have no idea how they can help lefthanders with practical advice. Instead, these children often have to hear that they have to get along with “the problem” themselves. 60. The first paragraph tells us that ___________.

Katherine Ilachinski, who had been knocked off her chair by the blast of heat exploding from the neighboring tower, was one of those. Despite her 70 years of age, Ms Ilachinski, an architect working on the 91st floor of 2 World Trade Center, the south tower, went for the stairs. Twelve floors above her, Judy Wein, an executive (manager), screamed and set off, too. But others up and down the 110 floors, many without clear views of the damage across the way and thus unclear about what was。
