ogists (人類學(xué)家). Descriptions like Palaeolithic (舊石器時代的) Man. Neolithic (新石器時代的) Man,etc. neatly sum up whole periods. When the time es for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentieth century, they will surely choose the label Legless Man. Histories of the time will go something like this: in the twentieth century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. And the surprising thing is that they didn39。 The future history books might also record that we were deprived (剝奪) of the use of our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird39。ve been there. You mention the remotest, and someone is bound to say I39。 When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this, you suspend all experience. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical tiredness. He knows that sound, satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers.(1)Anthropologists label man nowadays Legless Man because _____.

Free, and impersonal, the trains run back and forth all day long. Not many people consider them fun, but on this Saturday I heard laughter.

They were all lefthanded, along with other famous people including Brad Pitt Prince William, and Barack Obama. In fact, an estimated 13 percent of the world39。 What makes a person bee righthanded rather than lefthanded? As yet no one really knows for sure. One simple idea suggests that people normally get righthandedness from their parents. Studies have found that two righthanded parents have only a percent chance of having a lefthanded child, whereas two lefthanded parents have a 26 percent chance of having a lefthanded child. Another mon theory is that lefthanded people suffer mild brain damage during birth, which makes them lefthanded. However, if this theory were true, it would not explain why the percentage of leftbanded people is so similar in every society, when birth conditions vary so much from society to society.s attitudes toward lefthandedness have changed a lot over the years. Statistics show that although 13 percent of young people (1020 years old) are lefthanded, only 6 percent of the elderly are lefthanded. Lefthanded children used to be punished until they began using their right hand like other children, but today people who are lefthanded are no longer looked down on nor are they cons
