When you step out, you come face to face with views of the Pacific Ocean, the Santa Monica, and vast open area of Los Angeles.3．Then you will see the five main buildings that house the museum’ s collection surrounding a central courtyard The buildings are connected by glassed walkways.

One of the outstanding characteristics of museum is the natural light that shines through each building's computer-controlled louvers（百叶窗）.It allows viewers to look at paintings in the same natural light in which they were created.4．Part of the large campus is used for a series of gardens.

50: The Truth about Left-Handed People
About 90% of people in the world today arc right-handed. The other 10% arc left-handed, including Obama, the President of the US. Every day, left-handed folks quietly face problems. It could be something as simple as driving a car or using a can opener.
Why are so few of us left-handed? One theory is that handedness (hand preference) could be a result of genetics. Scientists say that there are two genes（基因）associated with handedness. One is the D gene. It is more frequent in the population and promotes（促成）right-hand preference. The other is the C gene. It has the ability to promote a preference for cither hand．When the C gene is present, there is a 50% chance that a person could be right- or left-handed.
