the answer is the brain. the brain has two sides connected by nerve (神经) tracks. the left side generally is used for mathematics, speech and writing. the right side is used for artistic creation and the expression for emotions. in men and women, different areas in each side of the brain develop differently. in boys, for example, its the area used for mathematics. in girls, it is the area used for language skills. another interesting difference is that the two sides of a mans brain are connected by smaller nerves than the two sides of a womans brain are.54. which of the following is the best title of the article?a. research on the brain b. peoples different brains c. who are better, boys or girlsd. differences between men and women55. what makes men and women think differently.a. sex b. the different experiences c. the influences of society d. the different brains 56. according to the article, girls are generally better than boys at _ in your school.a. mathematics b. english c. physics d. chemistry57. which of the following is true?a. men are better than women in all things.b. the area in girls used for language skills develops better.c. the left side of brain in boys generally develops better than that in girls.d. the left side of brain in girls generally develops better than that in boys.cnevertheless, ehmke puts up with such rude behavior, and he does it happily. why? because he designs homes for gorillas, bears, lions, and other zoo animals. and he enjoys the challenge of looking at the world through their exotic(奇异的)eyes.“the role of a zoo designer is to think as much as possible about what will make each animal comfortable, happy and active,” says ehmke, the director of the minnesota zoo in apple valley.“it would be wrong to say you can know what an animal is thinking and feeling,” he adds, “but we do our best to get as close to that as possible when were designing homes for them.”most zoo visitors focus on the animals, not on the habitats and barriers that fence the animals in. but details like these have received extra attention since december, when a female siberian tiger escaped her enclosure(围栏) at the san francisco zoo. the 4-year-old,350-pound tiger killed one person and injured two others.the incident raised fears among zoo goers and sent staff at zoos across the nation rushing to evaluate how safe their own exhibits are. still, experts say, the tragic event should not scare people away from zoos.“there have probably been five billion visitors to zoos in the last 50 years,” ehmke says, “this is the first time this has happened.”58. what is lee ehmke?a. an official. b. a professor. c. a designer. d. a feeder.59. what does the underlined expression “lee ehmkes customers” refer to?a. architects. b. animals. c. bathrooms. d. visitors.60. focusing on the habitats and barriers begins with _.a. architects designing homes for zoo animalsb. animals looking at the world through their exotic eyesc. a female siberian tigers escaping and killing a persond. the nation rushing to evaluate the importance of zoos61. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. all zoo animals are very easy to deal with.b. the purpose of a zoo designer is to make zoo animals live more easily.c. many zoo visitors would pay attention to animals enclosures.d. there are five billion tragic events in zoos in the last 50 years.dalmost all theme park accidents can be prevented. here, based on coverage of theme park safety, are some tips to help you and your family stay safe on your next visit.if you are visiting with a child, take a moment to explain the ride to them, and tell them how they should behave. they are depending upon you to keep them safe. set a good example for them by following the rules of the park, and make sure that they know you expect them to follow those rules, too. tell them to stay seated, to hold the grab bar or put their hands in the laps, and not to stick their knees and feet outside a ride vehicle. make them look to you for the okay to get on or off a ride, too. and never put a crying child on a ride. if your child starts to cry, let others pass you in line until your child is calmed. or, gently exit the queue and find something more relaxing to do. young kids cant keep an adults pace in a theme park. let them take plenty of breaks. “kids get tired,” said tpi reader matt johnson, a father of four. “tired kids make parents even more tired. and tired kids and parents may get hurt physically and emotionally.” he advises that parents plan a mid-day break, perhaps a swim back at the hotel, to avoid mid-day heat and crowds. “you will see cranky families having a miserable time while you are refreshed and having a great evening.” 62. the second paragraph tells readers that _. a. children should be trained to be more independent b. adults should tell children some safety rules firstly c. adults should set a good example to behave well in a theme park d. there is a danger to take young children to visit a theme park63. which of the following is not right for children who are taking the rides?
