19、rom all over the worldBOn the broad landing between Miss Havisham's own room and that other room in which the long table was laid out, I saw a garden chair - a light chair on wheels that you pushed from behind. It had been placed there since my last visit, and that same day I pushed Miss Havisha

20、m in this chair (when she was tired of walking with her hand upon my shoulder) round her own room, and across the landing and round the other room, which, from that day on, became my regular job.As we began to be more used to one another, Miss Havisham talked more to me, and asked me such questions

21、as what had I learnt and what was I going to be? I told her I was going to be apprenticed( 做学徒) to Joe, my sister ' s husband; then I explained my knowing nothing and wanting to know everything, in the hope that she might offer some help. But, she did not; on the contrary, she seemed to prefer m

22、y being ignorant. Neither did she ever give me any money - or anything but my daily dinner - nor even mentioned that I should be paid for my services.Estella was always about, and always let me in and out, but never told me I might kiss her again. Sometimes, she would coldly tolerate me; sometimes,

23、she would be seemingly kind to me; sometimes, she would be quite familiar with me; sometimes, she would tell me energetically that she hated me. Miss Havisham would often ask me in a whisper, or when we were alone,“ Does she grow prettier and prePip? ” And when I said yes, Miss Havisham would seem t

24、o enjoy it greedily. Also, when we played at cards Miss Havisham would look on Estella's moods, whatever they were. And sometimes, when her moods were so many and so contradictory of one another that I was puzzled what to say or do, Miss Havisham would hold her tightly with great fondness, sayin

27、orant.D. Miss Havisham helped Pip by paying for his services for her.30. What ' s Estella ' s attitude towards Pip?A. Changeable B. SincereC. Warm-hearted D. Indifferent31. Miss Havisham held Estella tightly because.A. she wanted to blame Estella for hurting Pip.B. she felt worried about Est

28、ella' s moods.C. she thought Estella did something right.D. she treated Estella like her own daughter.CAccording to a survey, only 4% of the people in the world are left-handed. Why? One theory centers on the two halves of the brain. For example, the left half and the right half, each of which f

29、unctions differently. Medical science believes that the left half of the brain dominates over the right half. The foundation of this theory is the fact that nerves from the brain cross over at neck-level to the opposite side of the body, and nerves from the other side of the brain reciprocate （ 互换）.

30、The end result is that the opposite sides of the body are controlled by the opposite sides of the brain.The dominant left half of the brain, which kindly supplies the right half of the body, theoretically makes it more skillful in reading, writing, speaking, and working, and makes most people right-

31、handed. Lefties, however, whose right half of the brain dominates, work best with the left side of their bodies.Theory number two focuses on the asymmetrical nature of the body. Examples of the asymmetry, which flows from head to toe, are that the right side of our faces differs slightly from the le

32、ft, that our legs differ in strength, or that our feet vary in size. One aspect of this asymmetry is that for most people the right hand is stronger than the left.There is no doubt that all exist in a “ righlhanded society 'which produces most basics, including scissors, doorknobs, locks, screwd

33、rivers, automobiles, buttons on clothing, and musical instruments for the 96%.

37、eft-handed people equally treated in society?DIs beauty something always positive? Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractiv

38、e defendants. But in the executive （主管的） circle, beauty can become a disadvantage.While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were considered having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were t

39、hought to lead to their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the at

40、tractive female executives. Why are attractive women not thought to be able?
