Hey girls, if the boys in your class are acting silly, you might as well leave them alone. You are far more sensible than them, aren’t you?

There is science to back up this theory. Scientists from Newcastle University, UK, and Seoul University, South Korea, found that the brain matures (成熟) earlier in girls than in boys. This is partly because of the way children’s brains are “pruned.”

As the brain matures, it begins to cut out unimportant information and focus on important information. This process is called “pruning.”

In order to learn more about this process, scientists scanned the brains of 121 people aged between 4 and 40. They found that pruning began much earlier in girls. Between the ages of 10 and 12, a girl’s brain will start to see a lot of activities as the pruning process starts. But for boys, this doesn’t start until the age of 15 to 20.

During this process, the brain will turn off memories, sounds or sights that appear several times. But important connections, like linking the sound of a familiar person’s voice to their face, are kept.

“The loss of connectivity during brain development can help to improve brain function,” scientist Sol Lim told the Daily Telegraph.

To understand this more easily, imagine you are at a party and everyone is talking. You can’t concentrate. But if you “turn off” some of the voices, it is easier to hear the others. The brain works in a similar way.

C. Girls mature earlier than boys.

D. Connectivity helps improve brain function.

2.What does the underlined word “pruned”probably mean?

A. 删减 B. 成长 C. 改变 D. 损失

3.What happens during the process “pruning”?

A. The brain doesn’t work for a moment.

B. You can’t remember, hear or see.

C. The connections between things disappear.

D. Brains develop to focus on important information.

4.What can we know from the passage?

A. Boys are more silly than girls.

B. Boys are less sensible than girls.

C. You can never concentrate at the parties.

One morning Fan Xing discovered that her classroom had changed．The 13-year-old saw that the desks were no longer in rows（排），but pushed together to make six bigger desks．

The new arrangement（排列） was part of a reform（改革） at Fan's school，Changsha Daotian Middle School in Hunan．About five weeks ago，more than 2，000 junior students at the school began studying in this way，with six to eight students sitting in groups．

"This reform is designed to provide students with easier ways to study and more chances for discussion，"said Liu Xu，a school head teacher．"Our school hopes it can improve students' abilities（能力） for self-study as well as teamwork．"

The new arrangement took some time for students to get used to．"I was too curious（好奇） about it for the first two days，"said Fan．But soon she and her classmates got used to it．"Now our class is quieter because we can stop loud students with some simple gestures（手势），"said Fan．"What's more，we can express our own ideas and learn others' through discussion．It's a better way to study．"

Feng Yu likes this new classroom arrangement very much and has made some progress studying．The 14-year-old said，"Group members first discuss，and then explain the solutions or answers to difficult questions in front of the whole class．"

"The discussion gives us more confidence to make speeches，"said Feng．"We can also improve our friendships．"

The reform has asked for more from teachers．They have no more than 15 minutes to teach in class．"It is a big challenge to teach in such short time the lessons which should be taught in 45 minutes，"English teacher Wang Jing said．"We have to improve methods to teach better．We must prepare some interesting topics and exercises before class so that students can discuss them．"

Wang said that some students always talk．The teachers have to move continuously in the classroom to keep them quiet and get them to concentrate on class．"It demands more，but I believe it will pay off，"Wang added．
