【題目】 For a long time, scientists believed that only humans were left-or right-handed. However, recent studies have shown that this isn’t true. Just like people, animals favor one side or the other.
In Ireland, scientists studied a group of 42 cats. They gave them three tasks. One was to get a delicious piece of fish out of a bottle. They found that the male cats preferred to use their left paw, and the female cats preferred to use their rights.
Being left-or right-handed isn't limited (有限的) to arms and legs. It can include eyes, ears, claws, and even tails. In Italy, scientists discovered that dogs wag their tails to the right when they see something that they like. When they see something that they don’t like, their tails go to the left.
There are lots of fun examples. Left-handed dolphins swim in a different direction around the pool. Elephants like to swing their trunks in one direction. Even snakes prefer to curl up only one way.
Many people believe that polar bears are left-handed. They say, for example, that polar bears cover their black nose with their right paw, which helps them hide in the snow when they are hunting. Then they can sneak up(慢慢靠近) on a seal, and their left paw will be free to catch it.
Scientists, however, disagree. Some have watched polar bears for thousands of hours. They never saw the bears cover their nose during a hunt. They also saw no evidence(根據(jù)) that they were left-handed. Without taking any notice of this, many websites continue to say that polar bears are left-handed.
Scientists are still learning about animals and their behaviors. The next time you see an animal, whether it’s your pet cat or an elephant, try figuring out yourself which it prefers - left or right.

B.The findings that polar bears cover their nose while hunting is supported by scientists.

【題目】
Last week the electricity(power) in my flat went out. I had just got home from work and was happily making my tea, when suddenly I was surrounded by complete darkness. The lights had gone out, the oven had stopped working and my phone was no longer charging. My flatmates and I tried to fix it but we soon realised that we couldn't. We would have to wait for an electrician to come in the morning. This left me a whole night without any electricity. I wasn't really sure what to do. My typical evening is spent watching the TV and scrolling through social media. Tonight this wasn't possible. We weren't prepared with candles and matches. I couldn't even read a book.
So for me it was an early night. And I couldn't help but think, do we depend on electricity too much? That night, losing our electricity felt like losing a basic necessity-as basic as running water. But really , electricity is a luxury（奢侈）that we've grown to take for granted. I use electricity all the time, even when it's not really necessary. I use it to put the TV on in the background even when I'm not really watching it. I use it to check my phone when I have to wait for even just a minute, for example when waiting for friends. And as I'm writing this, I have my lights on, even in the middle of the day when I don't really need them.
Our over-use of electricity is a big problem. It contributes to something that we really should be worried about. It is harming our environment and we need to do what we can to stop it. Not only that, but if we continue to use the same large amount of energy we will soon run out.
How would we survive in a world without electricity? Our daily lives revolve around it. We wouldn't be able to function. Yet we know that, one day, we will run out. So, shouldn't we start preparing for it now? I know for sure that I could cut down on my use of electricity. And if everyone does the same, we can make a big difference.
