That creek used to be a grass field，but last week my brother dug a path from the fiver and made the creekBut Ill go him one betterSee that pile of wood?1 want you to build me a fence，two meters tall，so 1 wont need to see him anymore” The builder said thoughtfully“I think I understand the situation and Ill be able to do a job that pleases you” Paul had business in town that day and left the builder to his workWhen he returned，the builder had just finished his jobPaul was shockedInstead of a fence there was a bridge，stretching from one side of the creek to the other As Paul stood on the bridge，staring in amazement，his younger brother Jason，came across，and took Pauls hand“You are a good man to have built this bridge after a11 Ive done，”said Jason Then，Paul，with tears in his eyes，said to the builder who was packing his bag to go，“Thank you so much。Please stayI have much more for you to do” “Id love to”the builder said quietly，“but，I have many more bridges to build.”1What was the cause of the disagreement between the two brothers?

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 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 worlds population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a persons two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the left hand is used to find things 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 persons hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left side of the brain, which controls the right 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 other jobs.No one really knows what makes a person become right-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 doesnt happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be 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 / she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.Though 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 dont have to.1.
