RE-WEETBAmerican researchers found females are the more talkative sex because of a special “language protein(蛋白质)” in the brain. The study, conducted by neuroscientists(神经学家) and psychologist from the University of Maryland, concluded that women talked more because they had more of the Foxp2 protein. The research, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, found that higher levels were found among humans that were women but in rats that were males. Their findings came after it was previously claimed that ladies speak about 20,000 words a day over 13,000 more than men. “This study is one of the first to report a sex difference in the expression of a language-associated protein in humans or animals,” said Prof Margaret McCarthy, who led the study. In their study, the researchers attempted to determine what might make male rats more vocal than their female friends. They separated four-day-old rats from their mothers and then counted the number of times they cried out in the “ultrasonic range”, the frequencies higher than humans can hear, over five minutes. While both sexes called out hundreds of cries, the males called out twice as often, they found. But when the pups were returned to their mothers cage, she fussed over her sons first. Tests conducted on the parts of the brain known to be associated with vocal calls showed the male pups have up to twice as much Foxp2 protein as the females. The researchers then increased the production in the brains of female pups and reduced it in males. This led to the female rats crying out more often and their mothers showing more interest to them. In contrast, males became less “talkative”. The researchers then tested samples from ten children, aged between three and five, which showed that females had up to 30 per cent more of the Foxp2 protein than males, in a brain area key to language in humans. “Based on our observations, we assume higher levels of Foxp2 in girls and higher levels of Foxp2 in male rats is an indication that Foxp2 protein levels are associated with the more municative sex,” said Prof McCarthy. “Our results imply Foxp2 as a ponent of the neurobiological basis of sex differences in vocal munication in mammals. “58. From the second paragraph, we can learn that _.A. women always speak more words than menB. men and male rats have low levels of language proteinC. women and male rats have similar levels of Foxp2D.

Which of the following can be the best title for the passage ?A. Tests on humans and rats B. Why women are the talkative sexC. Sex differences in Foxp2 proteinD. Foxp2 protein determines oral abilityCA high school history teacher once told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life.” Experience teaches that he was right. Good friendships are just not easily formed. Why?One reason is that it is easy to move around in our society. Mr. Darrell Sifford, a news reporter for the Washington Daily, has been studying and talking about friendships for a number of years. He reports what one woman thought about the effect of ease of movement on friendship:“I was nine, and wed just moved from South Carolina to New Jersey, and I didnt know anybody. My mother had a way of getting to the root of things and she said to me, Amelia, I know youre feeling bad because you dont have any friends. But you can fix that. Just walk across the street I know theres a girl about your age over there and knock on the door and ask her to be your friend.”“As a 9-year-old, I could do that. I knocked on the door and said, Hi, my name is Amelia, and Id like for us to be friends. And to my surprise, she said that she would like that tooand we became friends.”She added that going about it directly always worked when she was a child. But as she left childhood, she found that the simple direct approach was more and more difficult for her to follow. So, as an adult, Amelia longed to have friends but her hands were tied when it came to doing anything about it. The problem, according to her, is that society teaches us in a number of ways that direct action is not an acceptable way of doing things. We need to be less direct so that our feelings will not be hurt if our offer of friendship is refused.Mr. Sifford goes on to describe his own ideas on the subject:“To most of us, friendship is very important, but we need to have clear in our own minds the kinds of friendships we want. Are they to be very close or kept at arms length? Do we want to share ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface?”“For some people, an ordinary friendship is enough and thats all right. But at some point we need to make sure that what we expect from the friendship is the same as what our friends expect from it. If one wants more from the friendship than the other, and if this is not talked about, one is likely eventually to feel that hes not being given enough attention.“The sharing of close secrets, including our fears as well as our dark dreams, is the surest way to deepen friendships. But the process must be gone through slowly and continued only if there are signs of interest and our efforts are answered.”What are some of the problems in forming friendships? According to Mr. Sifford, the biggest problem is to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships take time. Another “big difficulty” is to think one “possesses” the other and that he should spend all his time only with you. Similarly, friendships require action from both sides. In short, you must give as much as you take. Finally there is a question of developing friendship. Unless you spend enough time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will gradually fade away. Why is it so difficult to form friendships? Perhaps it is possible, as Mr. Sifford states, that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for a true friendship to develop. However, we all agree that each of us should think carefully about the kind of friendships we want. As in all interpersonal relationships, success depends on the kind of friendship we expect to have, openness to others, and a willingness to experiment.61. By saying that “My mother had a way of getting to the root of things” the author means that _.A. her mother could always find friends for herB. her mother had a way of making friends with peopleC. her mother was able to find the cause of thingsD. her mother was able to solve difficult problems62. In which of the following cases is it possible for you to develop true friendships?A. You stay in one place for long enough with your friend.B. You spend all your time together with your friend.C. You pletely possess your friends time and attention.D. You give your friend as much as you take from him.63. The author quoted many times what Mr. Darrell Sifford said in order to _.A. show respect for himB. share the same opinion with himC. strengthen the authority of his opinion D. make some ments about friendships64. The main point we learn from the passage is _.A. willingness to experiment is the key to close friendship.B. openness to others is important in interpersonal relationshipsC. direct offers of friendship are not easily acceptedD. good friendships are not easily formedD“Itis a dreadful thing to be poor a fortnight before Christmas,” said Clorinda, with the mournful sigh of seventeen years.AuntEmmy smiled. Aunt Emmy was sixty, and spent the hours she didnt spend in a bed, on a sofa or in a wheel chair; but Aunt Emmy was never heard to sigh.“Thegifts which money can purchase are not the only ones we can give,” said Aunt Emmy gently, “nor the best, either.”“Oh,I know its nicer to give something of your own work,” agreed Clorinda, “but materials for fancy work cost too. That kind of gift is just as much out of the question for me as any other.”“Thatwas not what I meant,” said Aunt Emmy.“Whatdid you mean, then?” asked Clorinda, looking puzzled.AuntEmmy smiled.“Supposeyou think out my meaning for yourself,” she said. “That would be better than if I explained it. Besides, I dont think Icouldexplain it. Take the beautiful line of a beautiful poem to help you in your thinking out: The gift without the giver is bare.”“Idput it the other way and say, The giver without the gift is bare,” said Clorinda. “That is my predicament(窘境) exactly. Well, I hope by next Christmas Ill not be quite bankrupt. Im going into Mr. Callenders store down at Murraybridge in February. He has offered me the place, you know.”“Wontyour aunt miss you terribly?” said Aunt Emmy gravely. “Ithink she would rather have your panionship than a part of your salary, Clorinda,” said Aunt Emmy. “But of course you must decide for yourself, dear.” “Well,I must say bye-bye and run home.” Clorindalived just across the road from Aunt Emmy in a tiny white house behind some huge willows. But Aunt Mary lived there too-the only relative Clorinda had, for Aunt Emmy wasnt really her aunt at all. Clorinda had always lived with Aunt Mary ever since she could remember.Clorindapuzzled over Aunt Emmys meaning for days. Then all at once it came to her. OnChristmas Day, Clorinda went over to Aunt Emmys.Aunt Emmy was lying on the sofa before the fire, and Clorinda sat down beside her.“Ivee to tell you all about it,” she said. “AuntEmmy, I thought for days over your meaning . And then one evening it just came to me. At first I didnt think Icouldgive so
