听力原文： According to a new study done at the Medical school of the University of California, left handed people may be more likely to have accidents than the right handed. One reason may be that left handers tend to make minor mental mistakes. In the study of 2000 sailors, those who had more mental errors also had more accidents, and left handers were reported to have more mental errors and more accidents than right handers. The author of the study, Harry Smith said" Minor mental mistakes are mistakes that any adults would make when they were tired or careless and they could lead to accidents because they lose track of what we are doing." Paul White, chief of the study program said that he found the study interesting and exciting. But he warned that the conclusions should not be accepted without further investigation. He said the study had limitations, and limitations could have influenced the results. Harry Smith, who is right handed himself, stressed that the study was not an official project and said that the findings cannot be applied to every left bander, tie said minor mental mistakes were mostly because of the lack of concentration. But in the past, it was believed that left handers tended to have more accidents largely because most equipment was designed for right handers.

(33)

A．Right handers are more likely to have mental mistakes.

B．Left handers are more liable to have accidents.

C．Left handers are more skillful in handling things.

D．Right handers get tired easily.

What we know of prenatal development makes all this attempt made by a mother to mold the character of her unborn child by studying poetry, art or mathematics during pregnancy seem utterly impossible. How could such extremely complex influences pass from the mother to the child? There is no connection between their nervous systems. Even the blood vessels of mother and child do not join directly. An emotional shock to the mother will affect her child, because it changes the activity of her glands and so the chemistry of blood. Any chemical chrome in the mother's blood will affect the child for better or worse. But we can not see how a liking for mathematics or poetic genius can be dissolved in blood and produce a similar liking or genius in the child.

In our discussion of instincts we saw that there was reason to believe that whatever we inherit must be of some very simple sort rather than any complicated or very definite kind of behavior. It is certain that no one inherits a knowledge of mathematics. It may be, however, that children inherit more or less of a rather general ability that we may call intelligence. If very intelligent children become deeply interested in mathematics, they will probably make a success of that study.

As for musical ability, it may be that what is inherited is an especially sensitive ear, a peculiar structure of the hands or the vocal organs'connections between nerves and muscles that make it comparatively easy to learn the movements a musician must execute, and particularly vigorous emotions. If these factors are all organized around music, the child may become a musician. The same factors, in other circumstances, might be organized about some other center of interest. The rich emotional equipment might find expression in poetry. The capable fingers might develop skill in surgery. It is not the knowledge of music that is inherited, then nor even the love of it, but a certain bodily structure that makes it comparatively easy to acquire musical knowledge and skill. Whether that ability shall be directed toward music or some other undertaking may be decided entirely by forces in the environment in which a child grows up.

Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A．Some mothers try to influence their unborn children by studying art and other subjects during their pregnancy.

B．It is utterly impossible for us to learn anything about prenatal development.

C．The blood vessels of mother and child do not join directly.

D．There is no connection between mother's nervous systems and her unborn child's.
