Alicia was a young woman who liked to exercise for her health. In fact, she walked five kilometers before 26 every morning, and went swimming once a week at the swimming pool. She didn’t smoke and never 27 . She didn’t eat chocolate. She didn’t eat sweet and

fatty food, 28 . She weighted herself every day.

One day Alicia was on her daily walk when she saw a 29 sitting in a rocking chair under a tree. He looked very old and his hair was white. He looked thin and weak, and his hands were shaking, 30 he looked very happy.

He smiled at her and said, “Good morning! Lovely day, isn’t it?”

He had a wide smile 31 his face, and his eyes shone with happiness. But Alicia saw that he did not have teeth.

“Good morning!” replied Alicia. “Yes, it is a lovely day.”

Alicia thought he 32 very old and wise. She thought he must be at least 90 years old! She decided to ask him about the 33 of a happy old age.”

“I hope you don’t 34 me asking,” she said, “but what is your secret for being so happy at your age? I hope I can look as happy as you do 35 I am your age.”

The man in the rocking chair said, “My secret for 36 ? I smoke twenty packets of cigarettes every week, and drink three bottles of wine every day. I eat hamburgers and chocolates whenever I want. I never eat vegetables. I never walk anywhere and I never play sports. I sit at home every day.”

Alicia was 37 . She didn’t expect the man to give her an answer like that. She wondered how the man got to be so old when he did 38 wrong. She thought he should be 39 and unhappy. Perhaps she was wrong. Maybe, she thought, people could live a long happy life 40 eating well or doing lots of exercise.

“How old are you?” she asked.

“It’s my birthday today,” said the man. “I’m forty-seven!”

　　Do you know that women’s brains are smaller than men’s?Normally the women’s brain weighs 10％ less than men’s．Since research has shown that the bigger the brain, the cleverer the animal, men must be more intelligent(聪明的)than women．Right? Wrong．Men and women always score similarly on intelligence tests, despite the difference in brain size．Why? After years of study, researchers have concluded that it’s what’s inside that matters, not just the size of the brain．The brain is made up of “grey matter” and “white matter”．While men have more of the white matter, the amount(数量)of “thinking” brain is almost the same in both men and women．

　　It has been suggested that smaller brain appears to work faster, perhaps because the two sides of the brain are better connected in women．This means that little girls may learn to speak earlier, and that women can understand sorts of different information at the same time．When it comes to talking to the boss on the phone, cooking dinner and keeping an eye on the baby all at the same time, it’s women who come out on top every time．

　　There are other important differences between two sexes(性别)．As white matter is the key to spatial(空间的)tasks, men know better where things are in relation to other things．“A great footballer always knows where he is in relation to the other players, and he knows where to go,” says one researcher．That may explain one of life’s great mysteries：why men refuse to ask for directions … and women often need to!

　　The differences begin when fetuses(胎儿)are about nine weeks old, which can be seen in the action of children when they are very young．A boy would try to climb a barrier before him or push it down while a girl would ask for help from others．These brain differences also explain the fact that more men take up jobs that require good spatial skills, while more women speech skills．It may all go back to our ancestors, among whom women needed speech skills to take care of their babies and men needed spatial skills to hunt, according to one research．

(1)

Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 1?
[　　]
A．	Grey matter controls thinking in the brain．
B．	Men’s brain is 10％ less than women’s．
C．	Grey matter plays the same role as white matter．
D．	Men and women have the same amount of white matter．

(2)

What can you infer from Paragraphs 2 and 3?
[　　]
A．	Men have weaker spatial abilities．
B．	Women do not need to tell directions．
C．	Women prefer doing many things at a time．
D．	Women do many jobs at a time better than men．

(3)

What can you learn from Paragraph 4?
[　　]
A．	Our children needed more spatial skills．
B．	Women may have more feelings than men．
C．	Young boys may be stronger than young girls．
D．	More women take up jobs requiring speech skills．

(4)

The passage is mainly about ________．
[　　]
A．	ways of being more intelligent
B．	differences between men and women
C．	studies on brains between two sexes
D．	studies on white matter and grey matter
