Passage 3

短文3

Left handed people can find it inconvenient to do certain things, writing in a notebook for example. But there are a number of advantages of being left handed. Research found that they were overrepresented among fighters in combat sports. Left handed fighters also had higher chances to win. This confirms the fighter advantage. Left handers may also be better at remembering events. The explanation is that the two brain spheres of left handers are more strongly connected. Being left handed might be a factor in mathematical ability. 

左撇子可能会发现做某些事情不太方便，比如在笔记本上写字。但是左撇子也有很多优势。研究发现，在格斗类运动中，左撇子拳手占比更高。左撇子拳手获胜的机会也更大。这证实了左撇子在格斗中的优势。左撇子可能还更擅长记忆事件。解释是左撇子大脑的两个半球连接更为紧密。左撇子可能是数学能力的一个因素。

An Italian study found that for simple arithmetic, there was little difference between right and left handed performance. But for more difficult problem solving, left handers came out on top. No one understands the reason for this. Left handed people may think differently. In one study, researchers showed the participants columns of abstract illustrations and asked them which ones they would prefer. Left handed people were more likely to prefer the images on the left. Right handed people preferred the ones on the right. Both groups disliked stuff on their opposite side. Left handers are also overrepresented in professional interactive sports. Researchers have looked at the influence of being left handed on performance in interactive sports, those that require the fastest reaction give left handers the biggest advantage. 

一项意大利研究发现，在简单算术方面，左右撇子的表现差异不大。但在解决更复杂的问题时，左撇子表现出色。没人明白其中的原因。左撇子可能思考方式不同。在一项研究中，研究人员向参与者展示了多列抽象插图，并询问他们更喜欢哪一幅。左撇子更倾向于选择左边的图像。右撇子则更喜欢右边的图像。两组人都不喜欢对方那侧的图像。左撇子在职业互动类运动中也占比较高。研究人员研究了左撇子对互动类运动表现的影响，那些需要最快反应的运动给左撇子带来了最大的优势。

So, if you have a left handed child, you should encourage them to play table tennis, baseball, and tennis. Being left handed maximizes their chances of success in these sports.
