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. She also gets a bottle of wine for drinks with friends and a birthday card for her husband’s niece. 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.
Scientists 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 the 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 complicated they might use different parts of the brain. But men generally use just one.
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.

We often hear people talking about a generation gap (代沟). The name is new, but the idea is old. Young people and their parents don’t understand each other. The world has always kept changing. During the second century after Christ a wise man said, “Bury me on my face because in a little while everything will be turned upside down.”
There has always been a gap between generations, but more people talk about it now. Old Mr. Ellis thinks he understands what has happened.
“When I was a boy, I thought the world was a beautiful place. My life was very pleasant. But when I was older, I learned about people who were treated badly, people who didn’t have enough to eat. I wanted to help them, and I married a girl who wanted to help them, too. We went to meetings and talked a lot, but it didn’t seem to make much difference.”
“Our children grew up in a world at war. They didn’t know when the fighting would stop. They wanted their children to have nice clothes and toys. They didn’t want to think about the future. They thought nothing could be done about it.”
“Now I have grandchildren, and they have their own ideas. They are trying to make the world better. They are trying to help other people. They’re making people listen to them. I am proud of their generation.”
1.The wise man mentioned in the text told people to bury him on his face so that when everything is turned upside down he will ________.
A. lie on his stomach B. lie on his back
C. stand quietly D. sit in peace
2.Which generation did NOT want to do anything to make the world a better one?

D. None of the above.
3.What is the writer’s attitude towards the generation gap?

(CBS/AP)Lawyers for the stepfather of an 11-year-old girl tried to convince Massachusetts’ highest court on Tuesday that he should have a say on whether his stepdaughter is removed from life support. If the girl dies, Jason Strickland could face a murder charge for illegally taking part in the beating that left her comatose(昏迷).
Jason Strickland is asking the court to overturn a juvenile(少年) court judge’s decision allowing the state to remove Haleigh Poutre from her ventilator (呼吸机) and feeding tube.
Haleigh Poutre was hospitalized in September after her stepfather and adoptive mother kicked her and beat her nearly to death with a baseball bat.
Within two weeks of being charged, the adoptive mother, who was also Haleigh’s aunt, was found dead.
Strickland is free on bail(保释) while awaiting trial.
Sharyn Alfonsi from CBS reports that the girl’s biological mother, Allison Avrett, gave up her parental right years ago and now she has no say in what happens to Halleigh—but she wants life support to be relieved.
“I want her to rest,” Avrett told Alfonsi．“Being kept alive like that, it’s not a life.”
The state Department of Social Services wants to remove her from life support, according to opinions from her doctors that the girl is in a permanent vegetative(植物人状态的) state．And Strickland could face a murder charge if she dies.
Both of Haleigh’s doctors agree that she should be removed from the ventilator, but they can’t decide whether her feeding tube should be disconnected．They have said that with her feeding tube alone, Haleigh could live as long as two months.
Haleigh was adopted by her aunt about five years ago her biological mother moved to Virginia with a new boyfriend．Jason Strickland never formally adopted the girl, but is arguing that as the stepfather, he should be a de facto parent and allowed to have a say in whether she lives or dies.
1.CBS/AP are most probably ________.

C．b, c, a, f, d, e
D．b, c, e, f, a, d
3.Why did Haleigh’s stepfather demand that her life support not be removed?
A．Because he might be accused of murder if she died.
B．Because she might be comatose if the life support was removed.
C．Because Haleigh’s biological mother hopes so too.
D．Because he hopes that Haleigh will live with him.
