A man enters a store to buy milk. He walks out of the store with milk. That is all―milk. At the same time,a woman enters the same grocery store also to buy milk.
She buys it. But,she also buys chicken and lemons to make dinner that night. Then she remembers to buy food for her son to eat at school. She also gets a bottle of wine for drinks with friends and a birthday card for her husband's niece.
And that is the difference between the female and male brains. It is simply explained in a grocery store.
Generally speaking,men do one thing at a time. Women do many. Doing many things at a time is often called "multitasking," a very popular word these days.
A recent study has proved what we have known all along―men and women think differently. Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania studied brain pictures of 949 people aged from 8to 22 years old. They found that male brains have more connections on one side of the brain. In the female brains,they found more activity and connec?tions between the right and left sides of the brain. The left side of the brain is known as the side of "reason". The right one is known as the "creative" side.
Regina Verma is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. She cowrote the report. She says when women are asked to do something difficult they might use different parts of the brain. Men,she adds,generally use just one side of the brain.
As a result,men generally deal directly with a prob?lem. Women,however,might include other parts of the brain,like the part connected with reason and the part connected with sensitivity (敏感) when solving a problem.'
Women take a less direct path to find a solution.

A Henry David Thoreau once said, "The world is but a canvas (画布) to our imagination. " CBS News reporter Don Teague shows us an artist who chose to speak through canvas when his world went dark.
If you ask John Bramblitt to describe the world,chances are that he'll tell you it's colourful. Bramblitt is an artist whose works are defined by bold and expressive use of colour which has emotion all its own.
"Fear,it's a red with a lot of black mixed in," Bramblitt said. "It's almost like the colour of blood and dirt or soil―it's really deep. ” He knows a lot about fear and anger and depression. Emotions almost overwhelmed him nine years ago when at just age 30,complications (并发症) from epilepsy (魔痛症) left him forever blind.
What colour was the depression? "In my world,it was the worst black. It was like being in a hole," Bramblitt said. He eventually climbed out of that hole by learning to paint. He figured out how to mix the colours by feeling the different textures in the oils. He also learned how to apply paint by outlining ari image and using his fingers to guide the brush strokes. He sees his subjects with only his fin?gertips.
When Bramblitt touched his face,Teague jokingly said, "Brad Pitt,right?" "Yeah,you called it," Bramblitt replied.
To let Bramblitt touch your face is to allow him to imprint your image in his mind. His portraits are proof that his fingertips are as perceptive as his eyes once were.
He's never seen professional skateboarder Tony Hawk,but after feeling his face he painted a remarkable portrait. He has never seen his own wife or his young son,but it's clear he knows exactly what they look like.
Bramblitt's art is gaining notice in galleries around the country. You'll often find him in museums or at schools teaching his technique and what he's learned about life and colour to children.
"The future is so open,and there're so many things I want to do," Bramblitt said. "It's brilliant,it's just the most brilliant colour and I can't wait to see it take form,to see it take shape. ” This artist's vision is as bright as his art.
