5.Being Left-handed in a Right-handed World
The world is designed for right-handed people, but a tenth of the population prefer the left. (1) The answer to it remains a bit of a mystery. Since scientists have noticed that left-handedness tends to run in families, it’s assumed that left-handedness has a genetic(基因的)component to it. (2) In fact, identical twins, who share the same genes, can sometimes prefer to use different hands. There are also plenty of theories on what else might determine which hand you write with, but many experts believe that it’s kind of random.
Historically, the left side and left-handedness have been considered a negative thing by many cultures. (3) In some areas, the left hand became known as the “unclean” hand.

In some parts of Scotland, it is considered bad luck to meet a left-handed person at the start of a journey. (4) A person giving directions will put his left hand behind him and try to point with his right hand if necessary. In some Asian countries, eating with the left hand is considered impolite.
(5) People come to realize that left-handedness is natural. People even noticed that many famous people are left-handed, including Benjamin Franklin, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Charlie Chaplin.
