第二节(共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分)

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

About 85 percent of the world are right-handed. Of the remaining 15 percent, most are left-handed with a small number, about one in 100, being able to use either hand. Why?   36

Old Theories

37   Even in the early mid-20th century, natural left-handers were taught to use their right hand anyway. Such theories have been denied by the scientific community.

Genetics

The leading theories regarding why some people are right-handed or left-handed have something to do with genetics. Geneticists believe that natural selection and human activities over time have favored the gene for right handedness. They attribute the difference to two different genes. The D gene produces right-handed people with the C gene are right-handers, some are left-handers and some are either.

Biology

The biological theory relies on the different abilities of different areas of the brain. __38   Others argue that some people do use the right side for language but this theory wouldn’t explain why there are so few left-handers.

The Shield

Some have put forward the idea that left-handedness relates to where a soldier holds his shield. Because the heart is on the left side of the body, a soldier who held his shield with his left hand would be better protected. __39__

Creativity

Some have claimed that left-handers are more creative than right-handers, pointing to a long list of famous left-handers including Leonardo Da Vinci and Albert Einstein as examples. __40__ Critics, however, point out that there are also many right-handed creative people and that there are many photos showing Einstein drawing with his right hand.

A. There is not enough evidence yet to answer the question.

B. Because the left side of the brain handles language in most people, most people

would be right-handed.

C. If this is true, it might help lead to answers.

D. Others point out that according to cave paintings, most were right-handers

before humans started using shields.

E. Left-handedness used to be seen as a sign of brain damage.

F. However, people who suffer some type of injury or have a disability in one hand

frequently learn to use the other.

G. Left-handed people tend to be better at problem-solving skills and have larger vocabularies than the average.
