In sports, ______【54】contrast, doing things with the left hand or foot, is often an advantage. Throwing, kicking, punching or batting from the "wrong " side may result______【55】throwing off many opponents who are more accustomed to dealing with the______【56】of players who are right-handed. This is why, in many______【57】at a professional level, a higher proportion of players are left-handed than in the population as a whole.

Moreover, among a number of primitive peoples, there is______【61】close association between death and the left hand.
In the past, in most Western societies, children were often forced to use their right hands, especially to write with.

选项
A、unique
B、eccentric
C、normal
D、abnormal
答案
D

根据后面这句:孩子们一旦显示出左撇子的倾向就会被强迫使用右手, 可以推断出人们在最近之前一直都认为使用左手是很不好的, 因此这里选D:abnormal, 意思是:不正常的。unique:独特的;eccentric:古怪的;normal:正常的。
