the word or phrase that bestfits each ofthe numbered blanks from 1 to 5

Left-handers are the odd ones out. Sure, lefties (1)

up about 10 percent of the

population - but, frankly, it seems like society has forgotten about them. Just consider all of the right-

handed gadgets, awkwardly designed desks, and cooking tools that fit comfortably only in your right

hand. What (2)

points to a complex (3)

someone to become a lefthand? Scientists aren’t exactly sure, but research

between genes and environment While no exact set of “leftie genes”

have been discovered, people who dominantly use their left hands do have more left-handed family

members. And researchers have found different brain wirings in righties vs. lefties. But no matter (4)

it is that drives someone to use their antipodal paw, science has also uncovered a particular

set of personality traits that left-handed people tend to have. So for all of you lefties, leftie-loving

righties, and ambidextrous folks out there - it’s time to brush up on your left-handed knowledge and

help (5)

an end to leftie discrimination once and for all.

the correct answer to each of the questions from 6 to 12.

Successful students often do the followings while studying. First, they have an overview

before reading. Next, they look for important information and pay greater attention to it (which often

needs jumping forward or backward to process information). They also relate important points to one

another. Also, they activate and use their

prior knowledge. When they realize that their

understanding is not good, they do not wait to change strategies. Last, they can monitor

understanding and take action to correct or “fix up” mistakes in comprehension.

Conversely, students with low academic achievement often demonstrate ineffective study

skills. They tend to assume a passive role, in learning and rely on others (e.g., teachers, parents) to

monitor their studying, for example, low-achieving students often do not monitor their understanding

of content; they may not be aware of the purpose of studying; and they show little evidence of

looking back, or employing “fix-up” strategies to fix understanding problems. Students who struggle

with learning new information seem to be unaware that they must extent effort beyond simply

reading the content to understand and remember it. Children with learning disabilities do not plan

and judge the quality of their studying. Their studying may be disorganized. Students with learning

problems face challenges with personal organization as well. They often have difficulty keeping

track of materials and assignments, following directions, and completing work on time. Unlike good

studiers who employ a variety of study skills in a flexible yet purposeful manner, low-achieving

students use a restricted range of study skills. They cannot explain why good study strategies are

important for learning; and they tend to use the same, often ineffective study approach for all

learning tasks, ignoring task content, structure or difficulty.
