B It’s an age-old saying: Men are from Mars; women are from Venus. Males and females　 26　 different behaviors almost from　 birth. Researchers say these behaviors are due to　 27　 differences in brain structure and activity. Studies show men are better at hitting targets (靶子)and solving math problems　 28　 women are better at memorizing words and　 29　 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. Scientists already know that the two sides of the brain control different functions -one controlling the sense of space,　 30 , the other controlling language. Some researchers believe that the different ways men and women use their brains　 31　 from ancient times, when cave men hunted and women　 32　 the children. Men had to have good aim. Women had to talk to the kids. Whatever the　 33 , the battle of the sexes continues. And although their brains are constructed slightly differently, men and women may be equally capable. They may simply　 34　 different abilities. Take a couple arguing over the location of their car in a parking lot. The man might use his sense of　 35　 to find it, while the woman relies on her memory 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. 26. A. build　　　　　　 　B. form　　　　　　　　　 　C. choose　　　　　　　D. show 27.
