It’s an age-old saying: Men are from Mars; women are from Venus. Males and females __21_ different behaviors almost from birth. Researchers say these behaviors are due to basic differences in __22_ structure and activity. Studies show men are better at hitting targets and __23__ math problems while women are better at memorizing words and_24__faces. Why the differences?

A test of the brain’s electrical activity shows that women commonly use both sides of their brain while men rely more on one.

Whatever the __27__, the battle of the sexes continues. And although their brains are constructed __28__ differently, men and women may be equally capable. They may simply __29__different abilities. Take a couple arguing over the location of their car in a parking lot. The man might use his sense of space to find it, while the woman relies on her __30__ of landmarks. Both of them find the car. But chances are, they’ll still argue about who’s the better driver and who’s better at finding the way home.
