But do you know which of your two hands you use more? Very few people use both hands equally well. Most of us are right-handed. Only about five people out of a hundred are left-handed. New-born babies can take hold of things with either of their hands, but in about two years they usually use their right hands. Scientists dont know why this happens.Monkeys are our close relatives in the animal world. Scientists have found that monkeys like to use one of their hands more than the other, but it can be either hand. There are as many right-handed monkeys as left-handed ones. Next time you visit a zoo, watch the monkeys carefully, you will see that some of them will use their right hands and others will use their left hands. But most of the people use their right hands better and this makes life difficult for those left-handed people. We live in a right-handed world. （1）How many people among 100 people use their left hands better?A . 5%.B . 50%.C . 95%.（2）Whats the meaning of the underlined word “equally” in Chinese?A . 公正地B . 均等地C . 平凡地（3）New-born babies can use _ _ _.A . both of their handsB . neither of their handsC . their right hands（4）Which of the following is true?A .
