These people are not rich and do not wear fashionable clothes．However, they are talented people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone．‎ What is really sad is that the young try to imitate their heroes．They like to wear the same clothe sand follow their styles．If the heroes of today for the American youngsters are limited only to rock stars, athletes and actors,the future does not look too bright．‎ ‎8.What is true of the three groups mentioned in this article? ‎ A.They are not clever but are good－looking．‎ B.

D．He is uninterested．‎ D In the past ten years，many scientists have studied the differences between men and women．And they all got the same answer：The sexes （性别） are different，because their brains are different．And this，the scientists say，makes men and women see the world in different ways．‎ Boys，for example，generally are better than girls at mathematical （数学的）‎ ‎ ideas．Boys also generally are better than girls at the kind of hand and eye movements necessary for ball sports．Girls，on the other hand generally start speaking earlier than boys．And they generally see better in the dark than boys and are better at learning foreign languages．‎ What makes men and women better at one thing or another？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，it's 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 man's brain are connected by smaller nerves than the two sides of a woman's brain area．‎ ‎12．　 　 men and women think differently．‎ A．The different brains make B．Sex makes C．The different experiences make D．The influences of society make ‎13．According to the article，girls are generally better than boys at　 in your school．‎ A．mathematics B．physics C．English D．Chemistry ‎14．Which of the following is true？　 　‎ A．The left side of brain in boys generally develops better than that in girls．‎ B．The left side of brain in girls generally develops better than that in boys．‎ C．Men are better than women in all things．‎ D．The area in girls used for language skills develops better．‎ ‎15．In men and women the number of nerves connecting the halves of brain　 　．‎ A．is the same B．is different C．is zero D．Not mentioned．‎ 第二节 七选五 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ The eyes are the windows of the soul(心灵)．Having a pair of bright，clear eyes is very important，so we should protect our eyes throughout our lives.‎ ‎ 16 Don't read while lying down or walking.
