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。

Matthews


全文听写，英式拼法
Matthews started researching several different sports and found different types of handedness in each. By the way, he uses "handedness" to refer to the dominant side for feet and eyes as well as hands. Anyway, his team measured the hand, feet and eyes of 2,611 players and found that there were really three main types of laterality. Mixed, you work equally well on both sides, both hand and eye. Single, you tend to favour one side but both hand and eye favour the same side. And cross-laterality, a player's hand and eyes favour only one side but they are opposite sides. Let's start with hockey. Matthews found that it was best to be mixed-handed, this is because a hockey stick must be deployed in two directions, it would be a drawback to have hand or eye favouring one side. An interesting finding is that mixed-handed hockey players were significantly more confident than their single-handed counterparts. Things are slightly different in racket sports like tennis. Here the important thing is to have the dominant hand and eye on the one side. This means that there is a bigger area of vision on the side where most of the action occurs. If a player is cross lateral the racket is invisible from the dominant eye for much of the swing. It means that they can only make corrections much later, and often the damage has been done by then.
