    They Just Can't Help It

    My theory is that the female brain is mainly built for empathy — the ability to understand other people — and that the male brain is mainly built for building systems. _1._ For example, women are more likely to read magazines on fashion and parenting, while men will choose magazines that feature computers and sport.

    You may think that these preferences are influenced by the way people are taught to behave when they are growing up. However, this is not the case.

    A new study carried out at Cambridge University shows that newborn girls look longer at a face, and newborn boys look longer at a mobile. _2.__ It has also been observed (that girls are better at noticing signs of changes in other people's feelings. Boys, however, seem to enjoy building toy towers and playing with toys which have clear functions. __3.__ People whose jobs are in the construction industries are almost male. Math and engineering, which require high levels of systems-thinking, are also male-chosen disciplines.

    Why do men and women have the difference? Actually women have four times as many brain neurons (神经) that connect the right and left part of their brains. Because of it, women have a better ability to multitask than men.

    __4.__ Men tend to focus on a limited number of problems at a time. They will separate themselves from problems and view tasks as independent from one another.

    Some people may worry that I am suggesting one gender (性别) is better than the other, but this is not the case. My theory says that males and females differ in the kinds of things that they find easy, but that both genders have their strengths and weaknesses. __5.__ It is not true. The study simply looks at males and females as two groups, and asks what differences exist, and why they are there.

    A. Generally speaking, there are clear differences.

    B. Their preference for building systems may change over time.

    C. You can see the same kind of pattern in the adult workplace.

    D. They will consider many sources of information at the same time.

    E. It is important to stress that the female brain may be built more for empathy.

    F. That suggests certain differences between male and female brains are biological.

    G. Others may think the theory creates a belief of what a particular type of person is like.

    There is a growing number of kidults---or adults who wear the mask of maturity but prefer to pander(迎合) to their inner child.

    They feel ill equipped for parenthood, because they don’t see what values or lessons they could honestly pass on to their young, besides self-centeredness and a passion for the good things in life. They are trying to live by not acting their age.

    As Ms Jane put it in her letter: I’m married, in my late 20s and enjoy a lifestyle other married graduate couples enjoy: winning and dining, tasteful clothes, travel and a career. Why give up all these for a baby?

    It is reported that when asked whether they were adults, most people in their 20s answered they were not sure. This reflected a global economy in which people chased more papers to get better jobs that would comfortably support middle class living.

    Being a kidult is not all about being selfish, though. With the untold uncertainties of war, fluctuating(波动)markets, disease and terrorism, many see this world as a poor place to live in—let alone bring kids up in. This seems especially so in urban living. All anyone wants after a long, hard day at work is some peace and quiet.

    My classmate, Jenny, mused(沉思)recently how our friends living in small Malaysian towns were onto their second or third kids. Maybe they just loved having children around. Or maybe, in their own way, they wanted to leave the world a better place than they found it.

    That’s how you, I and everyone know we have the chance to breathe air, touch grass and see sky. I think out parents understand that just being alive is an experience worth passing on.

    1.What is a kidult in the writer’s opinion?

    A. A person who doesn’t have a child

    B. An adult who actually has a psychology of a child

    C. A child who doesn’t want to grow up

    D. A person who doesn’t know that what values he has

    2.What does the underlined word “paper” in Para. 4 mean?

    A. money

    B. reputation

    C.qualification

    D. power

    3.The author explains the kidult phenomenon by ________.

    A. presenting research findings

    B. making comparison

    C. showing her own experience

    D. using examples

    4.We can learn from the text that kidults________.

    A. know little what they can pass on to their children

    B. are sure of their abilities for good life

    C. living in urban can enjoy more peace

    D. living in small towns know well what they’re living for

    Communication with a Stranger

    It is said that most people have not more than 30 friends at any given time, and 400 over the whole of their lives. However, on social networking sites, most users have about 150 friends. If these numbers are correct, then friendship means different things in different situations.

    Also, there are no rules about friendship. There are no instructions about how to make friends, how to keep friendships going, and how to finish friendships if we want to move on. People have very different opinions about this: some people would die for their friends and they value them more than family. Others say that friends are temporary, only there to help each other until they are no longer needed. If people with such different views become friends, this can lead to problems.

    Because of these different definitions of friendship, it is easy to be unhappy about our friendships. We may want them to be deeper or closer, or we may want to have more friends in our lives. Sometimes we simply do not have the time to develop our friendships, or we fear we have left it too late in life to start. If we move to another country or city, we have to find ways to make new friends again.

    This dissatisfaction shows us how important friendships are for most of us. We should not think that it could be too late to build friendships. We also need to understand that the need to be around other people is one that is shared by many. Therefore, we should not be too frightened about starting to talk to people who in the future may become our friends: it is likely that they too would like to get closer to us. Remember what people say: strangers are friends we have not met yet.

    1.According to the text, how many friends do the majority of people probably have?

    A. Over 400 friends in their whole lives

    B. 30 friends or fewer at a certain stage

    C. 400 internet friends in their whole lives

    D. 150 internet friends at a certain stage.

    2.What is the main idea of paragraph 2?

    A. There is a rule about making friends

    B. People with different views can become friends

    C. Friendships mean different things to different people

    D. Some people would die for their friends if they need to

    3.We can learn from the text that most of us_________.

    A. need to be with others

    B. build friendships late in life

    C. are dissatisfied with our friends

    D. are frightened to talk to people

    4.What is the author’s attitude towards talking to a stranger?

    A. Uninterested B. Cautious C. Doubtful D. Positive
