In the year 2000, of the more than 55 million married couples in the United States , 10.5 million women were making more money than their husbands , and 2 million men were stay-at-home dads.

Author , husband , and father Mark Wertman writes about being a stay-at-home dad in his book True confessions of a Real Mr. Mom. His story will help others who are learning how to live with the changing gender roles in our society .

Clever boy ?

ARE men more intelligent than women ? Canadian psychologist Philippe Rushton from the University of Western Ontario believes he has found some new evidence to prove it .

According to his recent study , men tend to have higher IQs (Intelligence Quotients ) because their brains are larger .

There may be truth in the suggestion that the other , according to Rushton .

To test his theory , Rushton and a colleague looked at 100, 000 American 18-year-olds’ exam scores . He found that bys’ IQs are 3.6 points higher than girls’ . What could explain this difference ?

Last year Michael McDaniel , a psychologist at Virginia Commonwealth University in the US, found that the average man’s brain is 100 grams heavier than a woman’s , it is possible these extra brain cells make men more intelligent .

“It is clear that you need more brains to deal with a lot of information,” said Rushton . However , the difference is not enough to change everyday life .

The difference is clear when it comes to those with the highest IQs, the scientist said . This could explain why many more men than women have won Nobel Prizes .

Good girl !

OTHER scientists argue that as most men weight more than women their brains are naturally bigger . Elephants certainly have much heavier brains , but is it proof that they are smarter than humans ?

Who better to ask , “which gender is more intelligent ?” than a super-intelligent man who used to be a woman ? ! Dr Ben A. Barres is definitely a person worth listening to . He is a medical professor with diplomas (学位) from Dartmouth , Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard . Moreover , a decade ago , he was woman .

Ten years ago the professor had a sex change operation . So he knows all the problems women are faced with .

Barres denies that there is proof that men are naturally more intelligent than women .

A strong professional bias (偏见) against women holds back the female Einstein , Bill Gates or Newton from the very beginning , says Barres .

Sexism can be passed from generation to generation, keeping it alive . Barres experienced this first-hand at college .

“An MIT professor accused me of cheating on a test . I was the only one in the class who solved a particular problem , and he said my boyfriend must have solved it for me ,” said Barres .

He explained that women cannot get enough help and financial assistance , especially in scientific research . That might be the reason there are fewer female scientists . He praised the progress made in education , but warned of sexism at work .

48．The main purpose of this passage is to 　　　　　.

　　 A．present different opinions about the relationship between IQ and gender

　　 B．explain why there are more successful men than women

　　 C．show new proof that gender has something to with intelligence

　　 D．advise people to focus more on intelligence

　　 A．Men have a higher IQ than women.

　　 B．More men than women are leaders .

　　 C．Men’s brains are heavier than women’s .
