And they all got the same answer: The sexes（性别）are different, because their brains are different. And this, the scientists say, makes men and women see the world in different ways.Boys, for example, generally are better than girls at mathematical ideas. Boys are also generally better than girls at the kind of hand and eye movements necessary for ball sports. Girls, on the other hand generally start speaking earlier than boys. And they generally see better in the dark than boys and are better at learning foreign languages.What makes men and women better at one thing or another? The answer is the brain. The brain has two sides connected by nerve（神经）tracks. The left side generally is used for mathematics, speech and writing. The right side is used for artistic creation and the expression for emotions（情感）. Girls develop the right side of the brain faster than boys, while boys develop the left side faster. Another interesting difference is that the two sides of a man’s brain are connected by a smaller number of nerves than the two sides of a woman’s brain are.41. Which of the following tells the main idea of this passage?A. Research on the BrainB. Who Are Better, Boys or GirlsC. People’s Different BrainsD. Differences Between Men and Women42. ______ make(s) men and women think differently.A. The different waysB.

Yet he cannot find a bank ready to let him have a credit card（信用卡）. Instead he has been told to wait another two years until he is 18. The 16-year-old boy works for a small company in Liverpool where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David’s company releases（推出）two new games for the fast growing computer market each month.But David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money. Even though he makes a lot of money, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage（抵押贷款）, or get credit cards. David got the job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop. “I got the job because they knew I had already written some programs” David said he spends some of his money on records and clothes and gives his mother 50 pounds a week. But most of his free time is spent working.“Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school,” he said. “But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never thought about staying on at school. Most people in this business are very young, anyway.” David added, “I would like to earn a million and I may retire（退休）early. You never know when the market might disappear.”45. Which of the following problems does David need to solve?A. He has a lot of free time.     B. He will soon lose his job.C.

Because you have to be young to write computer programs.B. Because he wants to stop working when he has a million dollars.C. Because he thinks some day computer market may disappear.D. Because he thinks his company might be closed soon. (C)During his life Dr James Naismith worked as a doctor, taught P.E and wrote several books.
