A man enters a store to buy milk. He walks out of the store with milk. That is all— milk. At the same time, a woman enters the same grocery store also to buy milk. She buys it. But, she also buys chicken and lemons to make dinner that night. Then she remembers to buy food for her son to eat at school. She also gets a bottle of wine for drinks with friends and a birthday card for her husband's niece. Then she gets coffee for breakfast, ice cream for dessert and remembers stamps to mail the bills. And don't forget soap for the bathroom.
And that is the difference between the female and male brains simply explained in a grocery store. Generally speaking，men do one thing at a time. Women do many. Doing many things at one time is often called “multi-tasking”, a very popular word these days.
Now scientific research supports this theory about male and female brains. A recent study has confirmed what we have known all along—men and women think differently.
Scientist at the university of Pennsylvania studied brain images of 949 people aged from 8 to 22 years old. They found that male brains have more connections on one side of the brain, or hemisphere. In female brain, they found more activity and connections between the right and left sides of the brain. The left side of the brain is known as the side of “reason” The right hemisphere is known as the “creative” side.
Regina Verma is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. She co-wrote the report. She says when women are asked to do something difficult they might use different parts of the brain. Men, she adds, generally use just one side of the brain.
As a result, men generally deal directly with a problem. There is a strong connection between the “understanding” and the “action” parts of their brains. Women, however, might include other parts of the brain, like the part connected with reason and the part connected with sensitivity when solving a problem. Women take a less direct path to find a solution.
Dr. Venma warns that the study should not lead anyone to expect some behaviors from women and others from men.
1.By describing the scene of shopping, the writer wants to ____ .
A. reveal men and women's preference of living expense
B. criticize women's wasted living expense
C. think highly of women's considerate behavior
D. illustrate men and women's different brains
2.When asked to deal with a problem, _____ .
A. men tend to take action straight
B. women tend to take action straight
C. women tend to use a single part of the brain
D. men tend to use connected parts of the brain
3.Dr. Verma's warning indicates that _____ .
A. women and men can hardly learn from each other
B. women and men can hardly cooperate well
C. women and men can hardly complete multitasks
D. women and men can hardly perform the same behavior
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. “reason” brain or “creative” brain
B. Multi-tasking or single-tasking
C. Costly shopping or economical shopping
D. Reason or sensitivity

If you are looking for a creative solution to a piece of work or a school assignment，don’t lock yourself up in a quiet room.
A new study suggests that moderate background noise is a better spur(动力) to creative thinking than the sound of silence，Time magazine reported.
A paper published in the Journal of Consumer Research says that the perfect working environment should buzz(嗡嗡作响)with a little noise.
Researchers found that test subjects were at their most creative when background noise was measured at 70 decibels，the level one might find in a busy coffee shop.
A nearly silent environment(50 decibels)was too quiet. Turning up the volume to 85 decibels (a jackhammer tearing up the pavement outside your building) was counterproductive-the noise became a distraction.
The researchers asked 65 students at the University of British Columbia，Canada，to perform various creative tasks while noises recorded at a roadside restaurant were played in the background.
In one experiment，scientists asked participants to brainstorm ideas for a new type of mattress(气垫). Test subjects had the most successful discussions when the noise in the background was noticeable but not too loud.
While a quiet environment may make it easier to read a book. the authors of the study say that moderate background noise creates just enough of a distraction to force people to think more imaginatively, without breaking their focus so completely that they can’t think at all.
Should we all head for Starbucks to get creative? Not necessarily.
Researchers found limited work time surrounded by the low-level noise of a coffeehouse is what really stimulates creativity.
Equally, working in a care environment isn’t good for everybody. The productivity boost was most obvious among those who were naturally creative to begin with.
1.The recommended level of background noise is__________.
A. 50 decibels B. 65 decibels
C. 70 decibels D. 85 decibels
2.Why is moderate background noise good for creativity?
A. It relaxes people and stops them from getting bored.
B. It can help people to focus on a subject.
C. It can absorb sudden noises that cause distraction.
D. It pushes people to use their imagination but doesn’t reach a level that disturbs them.
3.According to the last three paragraphs，___________.
A. the low—level noise of a coffeehouse may be too loud for some people to work with
B. if a person is not a creative type, then background noise may not be of so much help to them
C. a person’s own creative ability is as important as the environment they are in
D. working in a coffeehouse is effective for most people
4.Which best describes the writer’s tone in the passage?
A. Negative. B. Objective.
C. Enthusiastic. D. Doubtful.
