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.

People always think men are more skilled than women in driving. Nowadays women appear to have a positive image of themselves as safer drivers than men.

In a survey done for insurer MetLife, 51% of women said they drive more safely. The evidence is on their side: Men are 3.4 times more likely than women to get a ticket for careless driving and 3.1 times as likely to be punished for drunk driving. “Women are on average less aggressive and more law abiding (守法的) drivers, which leads to fewer accidents.” the report says. However, not all male drivers share the same opinion. Of the men surveyed by MetLife, 39% claimed male drivers were safer. The findings did back them up on one point: automotive knowledge. The report showed that more men are familiar with current safety equipment such as electronic stability control, which helps prevent rollover accidents.

Auto safety unavoidably matters to money. Insurance companies focus on what classes of drivers have the lowest dollar amounts of claims, and for now, that mainly includes women. In general, women pay about 9% less for auto insurance than men. A study by the website Insweb also showed that auto insurance rates are lower for women in most states. Among individual states, women get the greatest advantage in Wyoming (where they pay 20% less), South Dakota and Washington, D. C., where their insurance costs are 16% lower.

“More than 11,900 male drivers died in U.S. traffic accidents in 2009, compared with just under 4,900 women drivers,” according to the study. “Based on miles traveled, men died at a rate of 2.5 deaths per 100 million miles traveled, v.s. 1.7 deaths for women.”

1. According to the study, male drivers _________.

A. are less aggressive while driving　

B. are more skilled at auto knowledge

C. are more likely to stick to driving laws

D. are less familiar with safety equipment

2. Insurance companies focus on female driver clients(客户) probably because they _________.

A. cause more accidents on the road but ask for little

B. cause little damage and pay more money to the insurance companies

C. make up the most part of the insurance clients

D. are more careful drivers and cause less damage

3. We can infer from the passage that _________.

A. men are 3.1 times more likely to get tickets than women

B. all women in the USA pay the same for their auto insurance

C. more female drivers die every year than male drivers

D. women are generally safer drivers than the opposite sex

Men have always believed that they are smarter than women. Now, a study has found that while this is certainly true, men also have to deal with the fact that they are also more stupid than the fairer sex.

In the study, scientists measured the IQ of 2500 brothers and sisters and they found an uneven number of men not only in the top two percent, but also in the bottom two percent.

The study's participants were tested on science, maths, English and mechanical abilities.

Though there were twice as many men as women in the smartest group, there were also twice as many men among the dolts.

The aggregate scores of men and women were similar.

One of the study's authors, psychology professor Timothy Bates, said that the phenomenon may be because men have always been expected to be high achievers and women have been restricted to spend more time taking care of their home.

"The female developmental program may be tilted more towards ensuring survival and the safety of the middle ground.," the Daily Mail quoted Professor Bates, of Edinburgh University, as saying.

The research tallies with past results that men were more likely than women to receive first class University degrees or thirds and women secured the seconds.

It has been said that men are more ready to take risk when it comes to academics. Women have always found to be steadier in their learning.

A past study has shown that women are securing more firsts and seconds, while men are continuing to receive more thirds.

The argument for the change is that the increase of coursework at the cost of exams favors women's steady approach.

1.The purpose of the passage is to tell us that ________.

A. man are smarter then women

4. It can be inferred from the passage that______.

A. Women are steadier in their learning.

C. women are securing more firsts and seconds

D. women are doing much better in academy
