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 bottom.
The aggregate（总数）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 homes.
"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
B．man are more stupid the women
C．a new fact about the IQ of men and women has been found
D．men are more likely to receive first class university degrees
2.According to Timothy Bates, less women are in the smartest group because _________.
A．they are born stupid
B．they have to spend more time to tale care of their homes than men
C．they don’t like to take risk
D．they are not expected to be high achievers
3.The underlined word tallies with in the eighth paragraph means________.
A．agree with B．deal with C．go against D．go with
4.It can be inferred from the passage that_________.
A．Women are steadier in their learning.
B．men are more ready to take risk in everything
C．women are securing more firsts and seconds
D．women are doing much better in academy
5.Which of the following questions has NOT been discussed in the passage? _________.
A．Why are men smarter than women?
B．Why are men more stupid than women?
C．How does the result go along with the past research?
D．How can we help the men in the bottom?
