Computers can help many workers. They can also help thieves.
There was one thief who worked in a bank of the United States. He paid for everything he needed by check. Then he told the computer not to take any money from his account for the checks he wrote. The bank’s computer did what he said. And it did not take any money from his bank account. One day the computer broke down. People had to do the computer’s work. They soon found out what was happening.
Another thief， who worked for a bank saw customers( 顾客）filling in deposit forms (存款单). Many of these people did not know their account numbers， so they wrote only their names on the forms. They left empty places for their account numbers. The thief wrote his own account number in this place. When the computer read these forms， it looked only at the account numbers. It did not look at the customers’ names. It paid the money on these deposit forms into the thief’s account.
Also there was the bank worker who told the bank computer to take ten cents off every customer’s account each month and put it into his own account. For a long time the bank’s customers did not notice that they were losing ten cents every month. But then someone did notice and told the bank. That was the end of that little game!

If you want to become a better reader， what should you know about speed of reading?
Some people read very rapidly(很快地)， while others slowly. Which one is better? The rapid reader may be a good reader when he reads a storybook for fun. But he may not be able to slow down enough to read directions carefully. He may read so rapidly that he does not take time to understand fully the ideas and information which are important. The slow reader may be a good reader when he reads directions for making something. But he may spend too much time reading a simple story which is meant to be enjoyed but not to be remembered.
So， you see， either a rapid reader or a slow reader is not really a good one. If you wish to become a better reader， here are four important things to remember .
1 Knowing why you are reading will often help you .
2 Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making something， science and history books， and Maths problems. You must read such things slowly， remember each important step and understand each important idea.
3 Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories for enjoyment， letters from friends and bits of news from hometown papers.
4 In some of your reading， you must change your speed as you go along. You will need to read certain pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas.

Even kids know that we should wait for the traffic light to turn green before crossing a road， but not everybody follows this basic rule. A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour， more than 600 people jumped red lights when crossing a road in Shijiazhuang， Hebei. “Chinese style road crossing” has become a hot expression recently. Chinese people “cross roads without thinking about traffic lights， so long as they are part of a crowd”， said a post on Sina Weibo.
Many people say that they jaywalk（乱穿马路）because the red light lasts too long. “People are likely to ignore(忽略) the light when the waiting time is longer than they can bear（忍受），”said Zhang Ming ， a member of the research team. However， a survey on Sina Weibo showed that nearly half of the respondents(调查对象)believe that people jaywalk mainly because they don’t respect rules.
Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions， too. For example， the first three people in a jaywalking group will be fined 50yuan in Shijiazhuang. But calling on people to obey rules is more important. To completely solve the problem， everyone should realize the importance of obeying the traffic rules.

Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799， scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1，500 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 person’s 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， which controls the right hand， is the centre 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 a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness， 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 are strange or unusual. A long time ago， left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children， but today they don’t have to.

B. The works of art ended in the 1950s.
C. Most people shown in the works of art are right-handed.
D. The art began from 1，500 B.C.
