Ask Dr？Jeffers	This month Dr．Jeffers is answering questions about the human brain and how it works．
Dear Dr．Jeffers， One of my colleagues，Felix Moeller，told me that scientists are learning to use computer to'read minds'．Is there any truth to this story？ -Jane Leon，New York，USA Dear Ms．Leon， Well，a lot of research is being conducted in this area，but so far，the brain scanning equipment and corresponding computer programs haven't been able to actually read thoughts．In one experiment，test subjects（受试者）were connected to scanning equipment and shown two numbers on a screen．They were then asked to choose between adding or subtracting（减）the two numbers．Using this method，researchers were able to follow brain processes and make the correct assumptions（假设）70percent of the time．It's not quite mind reading，but it's certainly a first step． -Dr．J．
Dear Dr．Jeffers， My three-year-old son loves it when I dig my fingers into his sides and tickle （胳肢）him until he laughs uncontrollably．The other day I noticed him trying to tickle himself but he couldn't do it．Why not？ -Glenn Lewis，Vancouver，Canada Dear Mr．Lewis， It's because of how the brain works．The brain is trained to know what to pay attention to and what to ignore．It causes us to ignore physical feelings we expect to happen，but it causes a mild panic reaction when there is an unexpected feeling．For example，you don't notice how your shoulder feels while you're walking down the street．But if someone comes up behind you and touches you lightly on the shoulder，you may jump in fear．It's that unexpected part that causes the tickle reaction． -Dr．J．

4．If there is no difference in general intelligence between boys and girls，what can explain girls'poor performance in science and mathematics？
It seems to be that their treatment at school is a direct cause．Mathematics and science are seen as subjects mainly for boys，and therefore，as girls become teenagers，they are less likely to take them．Interestingly，both boys and girls often regard the subjects for boys as more difficult．Yet it has been suggested that girls do not take mathematics courses，not because they are difficult，but for social reasons．Girls do not want to be in open competition with boys because they are afraid to appear less feminine（女性的） and attractive．
However，if we examine the performance of boys and girls who have taken mathematics courses，there are still more high-achieving boys than there are girls．This difference appears to be worldwide．Biological explanations have been offered for this，but there are other explanations too．
Perhaps the difference which comes out during the teenage years has its roots in much earlier experiences．From their first days in kindergarten，boys are encouraged to work on their own and to complete tasks．Facts show that outstanding mathematicians and scientists have not had teachers who supplied answers．
Besides，there can be little doubt that teachers of mathematics and science expect their boy students to do better at these subjects than their girl students．They even appear to encourage the difference between boys and girls．They spend more time with the boy students，giving them more time to answer questions and working harder to get correct answers from them．They are more likely to call on boys for answers and to allow them to take the lead in classroom discussion．They also praise boys more frequently．All of this seems to encourage boys to work harder in science and mathematics and to give them confidence that they are able to succeed．
Such a way of teaching is not likely to encourage girls to take many mathematics and science courses，nor is it likely to support girls who do．When it comes to these subjects it seems certain that school widens the difference between boys and girls．
33．The text mainly discussesC reasons for the difference between boys and girls in scientific achievements．
A．biological
B．historical
C．social
D．personal
34．What are boys usually encouraged to do at school？B
A．To get help with their homework．
B．To play the leading role in class．
C．To work with girl students in class．
D．To learn to take care of others．
35．The author would probably agree thatB．
A．boys and girls learn in the same way
B．boys and girls are equal in general intelligence
C．girls are more confident in themselves than before
D．girls should take fewer science courses than boys．
