17、is undeniable. Left-handed people, or “lefties” as they are often called, are generally believed to be good at art Leonardo da Vinci, Picasso and Michelangelo are all left-handed. Our brain is divided into two parts: the left hemisphere(大脑半球) and the right hemisphere. The left hemisphere, linked to
18、logic and analysis, is responsible for the right side of the body. The right hemisphere, linked to creativity and imagination, controls the left side of the body. So, people tend to believe lefties are controlled by the right side of the brain, and are more creative than right-handers. Some also thi
19、nk that lefties may not be as good as right-handers in mathematics and problem-solving skills. However, a recent study carried out by scientists from the University of Liverpool in the UK and the University of Milan in Italy proved this theory wrong.

21、e to simple arithmetic, there was no difference between left-handers and right-handers. It was also discovered that those who are severely right-handed performed less well in all the experiments compared to “medium” right-handers and left-handers. “Taken together, these findings show that handedness
22、 does influence abilities to some degree, the studys authors wrote. However, “handedness is just an indirect expression of brain function, wrote psychology professor Giovanni Sala from the University of Liverpool in the UK, the lead author of the study. Sala also noted that only one third of people

27、those who are living with pets. If youre one of those people, heres what you can do. Exercise with your pet. If your free time is not adequate for both exercising and bonding with your pet, you can combine the two for an even better outcome. _ Or try to fit in a hike on the weekend. Your bond will g
