       Did you know that women’s brains are smaller than men’s? The average women’s brain weighs 10% less than men’s.Since research has shown that the bigger the brain, the cleverer the animal, men must be more intelligent than women.Right? Wrong.Men and women always score similarly on intelligence tests, despite the difference in brain size.Why? After years of study, researchers have concluded that it’s what’s inside that matters, not just the size of the brain.The brain consists of “grey matter” and “white matter”.While men have more of the latter, the amount of “thinking” brain is almost exactly the same in both sexes.

       It has been suggested that smaller brain appears to work faster, perhaps because the two sides of the brain are better connected in women.This means that little girls tend to learn to speak earlier, and that women can understand sorts of information from different sources at the same time.When it comes to talking to the boss on the phone, cooking dinner and keeping an eye on the baby all at the same time, it’s women who come out on top every time.

       There are other important differences between two sexes.As white matter is the key to spatial tasks, men know better where things are in relation to other things.“A great footballer always knows where he is in relation to the other players, and he knows where to go,” says one researcher.That may explain one of life’s great mysteries: why men refuse to ask for direction and women often need to!

       The differences begin when fetuses(胎儿)are about nine weeks old, which can be seen in the action of children as young as one.A boy would try to climb a barrier before him or push it down while a girl would attract help from others.These brain differences also explain the fact that more men take up jobs that require good spatial skills, while more women speech skills.It may all go back to our ancestors, among whom women needed speech skills to take care of their babies and men needed spatial skills to hunt, according to one research.

       If all this disappoints you, it shouldn’t.“The brain changes throughout our lives according to what we do with it.” says a biologist.

1.The passage mainly tells us ________.

       A.the difference between men’s and women’s brains

       B.the changes in brain throughout our lives

       C.that men are better at spatial tasks

       D.that brain differences are related to our ancestors

2.Which of the following is true according to the first paragraph? ________.

       A.Women’s brain is 10% less than men’s

       B.Grey matter plays the same role as white matter.

       C.Grey matter controls thinking in the brain.

       D.Both sexes have the same amount of white matter.

3.What can we infer from the second and third paragraphs? ________.

       A.Women prefer doing many things at a time.

       B.Men do better dealing with one job at a time.

       C.Women do not need to tell directions.

       D.Men have weaker spatial abilities.

4.Which of the following do you agree with according to the fourth paragraph? ________.

       A.Young boys may be stronger than young girls.

       B.More women take up jobs requiring speech skills

       C.Women may have stronger feelings than men.

       D.Our ancestors needed more spatial skills.

5.What is the writer’s attitude in writing this passage? ________.

       A.Defensive.       B.Persuasive.        C.Supportive.       D.Objective.

       Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them.Helping them enjoy science can be easy; there’s no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment.You only have to share your children’s curiosity. Firstly, listen to their questions.I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job.The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job.When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence.Finally I said, “Now that we’re finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?”

       After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache.Why?”

       This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.

       Secondly, give them time to think.Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think.When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers.

       Thirdly, watch your language.Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, don’t jump in with “That’s right” or “Very good”.These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior.But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying “That’s interesting” or “I’d never thought of it that way before” or coming up with more questions or ideas.

       Never push a child to “Think”.It doesn’t make sense.Children are always thinking, without your telling them to.What’s more, this can turn a conversation into a performance.The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target for your disagreement.

       Lastly, show; don’t tell.Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program.Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass(放大镜), and they’ll understand why you want them to wash before dinner.Rather than saying that water evaporates(蒸发), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.

1.According to the passage, children are natural scientists, and to raise their interest, the most important thing for adults to do is _______.

       A.to let them see the world around

       B.to share the children’s curiosity

       C.to explain difficult phrases about science                              

       D.to supply the children with lab equipment

2.In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the word “lists” could best be replaced by ______.

       A.any questions                                       B.any problems  

       C.questions from textbooks                     D.any number of questions

3.According to the passage, children can answer questions in a more logical, complete and creative way if adults ________.

       A.ask them to answer quickly               B.wait for one or two seconds after a question

       C.tell them to answer the next day          D.wait at least for three seconds after a question

4.In which of the following paragraph(s) does the author tell us what to say to encourage children in a science discussion? ________.

       A.The second and third.                      B.The fourth and fifth.

       C.The fifth and sixth.                        D.The seventh.

5.The author mentions all of the following techniques for adults to share with their children’s curiosity EXCEPT that adults should ________.

       A.tell their children stories instead of reciting facts

       B.offer their children chances to see things for themselves

       C.be patient enough when their children answer questions

       D.encourage their children to ask questions of their own

       Whether you’re headed to another country for business or pleasure, it is likely that you need to keep in touch with family or business partners in the United States.But if you plan to do that using your cell phone, you could have an unwelcome surprise----U.S.cell phones don’t work abroad.U.S.companies use different forms of technology, not like most of the international community, including Europe.

       However, there is an easy, cost-effective solution to staying in touch while you’re traveling.You can rent a phone that is guaranteed to work in the countries you’re visiting.Roadpost offers a 30-day cell phone rental plan that includes free incoming calls, free voicemail and call waiting services.

       Those who don’t want to be without e-mail while traveling can rent an international BlackBerry.It can be hard to stay in touch by e-mail when traveling.With an international BlackBerry, you can email as much as you like, without worrying about an expensive bill.If you’re traveling to very remote areas, you may want to consider renting a satellite phone: Because they receive their signals from satellites, these phones work anywhere on the planet, including oceans and mountains.When you return, simply ship the phone or BlackBerry back to Roadpost using the return kit the company provides.

       After too long on the Net, even a phone call can be a shock.My boyfriend’s Liverpudlian accent suddenly becomes too difficult to understand after his clear words on screen; a secretary stone seems more rejecting than I’d imagined it would be.Time itself becomes fluid—hours become minutes, and alternately seconds stretch into days.Weekends, once a highlight of my week, are now just two ordinary days.

       For the last three years, since I stopped working as a producer for Charlie Rose, I have done much of my work as a telecommuter.I submit(提交)articles and edit them by E-mail and communicate with colleagues on Internet mailing lists.My boyfriend lives in England; so much of our relationship is computer-mediated.

       If I desired, I could stay inside for weeks without wanting anything.I can order food, and manage my money, love and work.In fact, at times I have spent as long as three weeks alone at home, going out only to get mail and buy newspapers and groceries.I watched most of the blizzard of 96 on TV.

       But after a while, life itself begins to feel unreal I start to feel as though I’ve merged(融合)with my machines, taking data in, spitting them back out, just another node(波节)on the Net.Others on line report the same symptoms.We start to strongly dislike the outside forms of socializing.It’s like attending an AA .meeting in a bar with everyone holding a half sipped drink.We have become the Net opponents’ worst nightmare.

       What first seemed like a luxury, crawling from bed to computer, not worrying about hair, and clothes and face, has become avoidance,a lack of discipline.And once you start replacing real human contact with cyber interaction, coming back out of the cave can be quite difficult.

       At times, I turn on the television and just leave it to chatter in the background, something that I’d never done previously.The voices of the programs relax me, but then I’m jarred by the commercials.I find myself sucked in by soap operas, or needing to keep up with the latest news and the weather.“Dateline”, “Frontline”, “Nightline”, CNN, New York 1, every possible angle of every story over and over and over, even when they are of no possible use to me.Work moves from foreground to background.

       A.unreal                 B.unbearable           C.misleading           D.not understandable

       A.the same city                                       B.the same country   

       C.different countries                             D.different cities in England

       A.Having worked on the computer for too long, she became a bit strange.

       B.She likes it because it is very convenient.

       C.She dislikes it because TV is more attractive.

       D.She likes it because it provides an imaginary world.

       A.going back to the dreaming world          B.coming back home from the outside world

       C.bringing back direct human contact       D.getting away from living a strange life
