For many men, the idea that they have a better sense of direction than women has been improved by a scientific study.
Researchers from Norway scanned on the brains of volunteers as they completed navigation (导航) tasks to discover men are more skillful at finding their way because they use a separate part of their brain. According to lead researcher Dr. Cal Pintzka from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), men and women have different navigational strategies.
Med use basic directions—the use of north, south, east and west—during navigation to a greater degree. Men’s sense of direction was more effective. They quite simply got to their destination faster. “If they’re going to the Students Society building in Trodheim, for example, men usually go into the general direction where it is located.” Dr. Pintzka explained.
Women usually orient (标定方向) themselves along a route to get there, for example, go past the hairdresser and then up the street and turn right after the shore.
The study shows that using the basic directions is more efficient because it is a more flexible strategy. The destination can be reached faster because the strategy depends less on where you start.
Meanwhile, the study also shows both men and women use large areas of the brain when they navigate, but some areas were different. The man used the hippocampus (海马体) more, whereas women use their frontal areas to a greater extent. That degrees with the fact that the hippocampus is necessary to make use of basic directions. Losing one’s sense of direction is one of the first symptoms in Alzheimer’s disease.
Understanding how men and women use different brain areas and strategies to navigate, researchers will be able to enhance the understand of the disease’s development, and develop coping strategies for those already affected.
1. How are men different from women in navigation?
A. They use a separate part of their brain.
B. They deal with navigation in complex ways.
C. They make different actions to the road signs.
D. They form different images of road conditions.
2. What strategy do men usually take to find a place?
A. Finding out all possible routes.
B. Remembering all the landmarks.
C. Making out the general direction.
D. Drawing a general map of the place.
3.Why is men’s strategy more efficient?
A. Because it is much easier to be carried out.
B. Because it is more helpful to identify roads.
C. Because it is simpler for telling directions.
D. Because it is less limited by the starting place.
4.What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. Getting to the destination is no more a difficult thing.
B. Men have a better sense of direction than women.
C. Alzheimer’s disease can be prevented effectively.
D. Hippocampus is playing a key role in navigation.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Self-confidence, motivation (动机), support and knowledge are the main factors determining if one succeeds or fails. Each of these factors influences our chances of success in a different way. 1. .
Lack of self-confidence is probably the most dreadful enemy of success. 2. Even the most capable person is sure to fail with such an attitude. If it is your case too, improving your self-confidence is a must.
Motivation is equally as important as self-confidence. 3. You may even not try to achieve the goal that lies before you. It is important to find out what is the best motivation for you. If you have to do something that does not motivate you, just treat yourself with a reward after you succeed. Of course, this reward should consist of something that will motivate you to pursue(追求) a success.
4. While it is not a must for succeeding in your goals, a lack of support can often lead to failure. It is also true that some people cannot succeed without a proper support from their surroundings. These people often lose their motivation or worse, their self-confidence. If you know such a person, supporting him or her is a right thing to do. Also surround yourself with the right people. You will see the results soon.
Pursuing realistic goals is also important for a success. You should always make sure that your goals are achievable. 5. Unrealistic goals usually lead to a fast failure and also make many people embarrassed.
A. As we know, many people try but do not succeed.
B. Consider all your knowledge and skills when setting up a goal.
C. Motivation is something in yourself that can push you forwards.
D. There are several main reasons why some people cannot succeed.
E. Supportive family and collective workplace are also very important.
F. Without it, you will not push yourself towards a better performance.
G. Thinking you are not good enough to achieve your goals is the same as deciding that you will not succeed.
