Hands play an important part in our daily life. But do you know which of your two hands you use more? Very few people use both hands equally well. Most of us are right-handed. Only about five people out of a hundred are left-handed. New-born babies can take hold of things with either of their hands, but in about two years they usually use their right hands. Scientists don’t know why this happens.

Monkeys are our close relatives in the animal world. Scientists have found that monkeys like to use one of their hands more than the other, but it can be either hand. There are as many right-handed monkeys as left-handed ones. Next time you visit a zoo, watch the monkeys carefully, you will see that some of them will use their right hands and others will use their left hands. But most of the people use their right hands better and this makes life difficult for those left-handed people. We live in a right-handed world.

I am a five-year-old elephant. When I was a baby, I lived in the wild with my parents. But some hunters（猎人） killed my mother. And they caught me. They sold me to this circus（马戏团）and a train carried me here.

I was born in a large family. My mother was the head of the family. As you might know, when a female is born into the family, she never leaves. Closely and happily, we travel together, eat together, play together and sleep together. When I was in the family, my mother and my sisters looked after me carefully. I played happily with all the other elephants. Now I miss them.

You enjoy watching my wonderful tricks. To make you laugh, I have to perform 8 hours a day. But you don’t ask yourself. “How did they make that elephant stand on his head?” I never stand on my head in the wild. I don’t enjoy any of the tricks. I perform tricks because they make me do this or that. And still I hear you want to see me because you love me. But you are thinking about yourselves—what you want, what you like. Please think about me. If you love me, give me what I need. I need to be free, and to be with my family. And you can watch me on videos， DVDs and Web pages.

The word “cartoon” came from Italian. It first referred to the picture before an actual (真实） drawing on the wall. In the mid 19th century, it came into English. Since the 1840s,it has also come to mean any drawing that is humorous, satirical（讽刺的） or showing an opinion. It usually appears in a newspaper or magazine, with or without a short text.

Today cartoons are a part of the daily lives of most people. People of all ages, especially young children enjoy all kinds of cartoons in newspapers and magazines, on television and at the movies. Cartoons not only show their life, but help form it. They have set the style for clothing, food, manner and many other things. They have supplied ideas to plays, movies, television series and so on. Names or words from cartoon series have also come into modern languages.

Many cartoonists(漫画家） draw with special pens. Some use the computer. Surely, computers are especially effective for the making of animated cartoons. This helps us to enjoy more lively cartoons.
