本次听力选自雅思听力Section 4，难度一般，因为语速比较慢

Summary：说话者再次分享了一篇自己读过的文章，讲的是用手习惯对人在音乐和运动领域的表现有何作用及影响。说话者认为，文章作者的研究不仅能帮助运动员发现自己用手习惯上的弱点，并可以据此提出更有效的比赛策略。虽然这些研究成果非常重要，但并没有得到相关领域的关注。说话者提到，文章作者以音乐家为过对猿的研究得出，猿大多是左右手混合使用，而85%的人类习惯于使用右手。最后，说话者提到，文章作者以曲棍球运动为例，说明左右手混合使用是最好的。

全文听写，英式拼法
Matthews found a German study which looked at what he called "mixed-handedness", that is, the capacity to use both left and right hands equally. It looked at mixed-handedness in 40 musicians on a variety of instruments. Researchers examined a number of variables, for example, type of instrument played, regularity of practice undertaken and length of time playing instrument, and found the following, keyboard players had high levels of mixed-handedness, whereas string players like cellists and violinists strongly favoured one hand. Also those who started younger were more mixed-handed. Matthews also reports studies of handedness in apes. Apes get a large proportion of their food by "fishing" ants from ant hills. The studies show that apes, like humans, show handedness, though for them right and left-handedness is about equal, whereas about 85% of humans are right-handed. Studies showed that apes consistently using the same hand fished out 30% more ants than those varying between the two.
