　　阅读理解：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项．

　　Imagine you are a left-hander Suddenly everything in the world is changed. The dour locks are on the wrong side and turn the wrong way.

　　Twenty-five million Americans wake up every day in just such a sorry situation. There are one in ten of us who are left-handed and must face the world designed for the right-handed majority.

　　Why we are left-or right-handed remains a secret. We know that nearly two out of three lefties are men and that left-handedness runs in families. According to one study almost half of the children of two left-handed parents will be left-handed. The Scots-Irish family Kerr produced so many left handers that in 1470 the family built its house stairway with a reverse twist (盘旋).

　　On the other hand heredity (遗传) alone cannot explain lefties. At least 84 percent of them are born of two right-handed parents. And in 12 percent of twins one will be right-handed the other left.

　　Perhaps the greatest puzzle of all is not why some people are left-handed but rather why so few are. In fact almost equal numbers of individuals (个人) will favor either the right or the left. However scientists are trying to set things right and they are beginning to study the many ways left-handers differ from right-handers by considering how their brains work.
