1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

       If 2019 is really “the year we woke up to climate change”, then the following years should be the time we start actually doing something about it. Because we are nearly out of time. We can’t afford to wait any longer to take action. 1. Take the following suggestions seriously to make a change.

       Do shopping wisely. Instead of buying many new clothes, wear what is already in your closet（衣柜）. After all, most clothes are made of materials that are hard to deal with when they become waste. 2. The fewer clothes you buy, the more energy you will save. Be a smart shopper, buy less and match what you have owned more.

       3. 把钱花在更有意义的东西上。 There are many different kinds of organizations aiming to protect the environment .Donate（捐赠）money to an organization to help it do something practical to the environment. It is meaningful though the money may not be too much. It shows your care for the world.

       Use less plastics. Avoiding using plastics seems impossible, but you can use them less. 4. Taking reusable bags instead of buying plastic bags helps a lot. Replacing plastic cups with reusable water bottles is also a good idea. It’s useful to bring your own takeout containers（容器）to restaurants for leftovers as well.

       Fall in love with your own world. When you love something, you want to protect it. Pay attention to the beautiful nature around you, 5. 这样你才能享受到世界的美。

26、Most people around the world are right- handed. This also seem to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1500 B C to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed. So the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed.

Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones?Scientists now know that a persons two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the left hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left side of the brain, is the center for thinking and doing problems.These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.

No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40%of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If receive the gene（基因）, he/she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.

Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people art strange or unusual. Along long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children.

【1】What did the scientists find after studying works of art made at different times in history?

A．The art began from 1, 500 BC.

B．The works of art ended in the 1950s.

C．Most people shown in the works of art are right-handed.

D．Most people shown in the works of art are left-handed.

【2】What is the left hand for most people used to do?

A．It’s used to work with things.

B．It’s used to find or hold things.

C．It’s used to make a persons eyes work together.

D．It’s the center for thinking and doing problems.
