Exposition
When talking about the two sexes, people often say that men are from Mars and women are from Venus. Without doubt, men and women have great differences in many ways.
Exposition
These contrasts in character could all be down to supposed differences between the male and female brains. For example, a study led by British psychologist Stuart Ritchie in 2012 found that men's brains are on average 10 percent bigger than women's. And another study led by Israeli psychologist Daphna Joel at Tel Aviv University in 2015furtherclaimedthat differences exist in male and female brains, although each individual's brain has a "mix of features", as New Scientist wrote.
But Lise Eliot, a professor of neuroscience(神经学)at the Chicago Medical School, begs to differ. She recently said that the brain is a unisex(不分性别的)organ. Through analyzing brain data of several different men and women, Eliot found that the statistics about brain differences mean nothing. According to her findings, male and female brains are not much more different from each other than male or female hearts or kidneys. And more importantly, these differences don't show that male and female brains work differently.
So, if it's not in the brain, what makes males and females behave differently The answer may lie in socialization, according to The Atlantic. In the past, many gender studies ignored the effects of a person's social background and upbringing, relying on other data instead. Take former Harvard University president Lawrence Summers for example. He used a 1970 study that showed men outperformed women 13-to-one on the math part of the SAT to argue that males are more suited to science subjects. However, another study found that if females were given better opportunities to study science subjects, the rate would drop to three-to-one.
Undeniably, men and women differ widely in many aspects.
Previous studies attribute the distinctions in character to the differences between male and female brains.
However, Professor Eliot argues that they have nothing to do with brains based on the data analysis. It is socialization, such as background and parenting, that can account for the contrasts, which was neglected in the past, though.

Narration
Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree,with honors,in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the lighthouse Project .
I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.
Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where What Nigeria I had no idea. But I was about to find out .
After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me .
Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and I returned to the United States a different man. The lighthouse project had changed my life forever.
①After graduation from university the author was at a loss about how to fulfill his ambition until he decided to land a job with the Lighthouse Project. ( 要点1)
②Adequate preparation and family support finally won him the job as a volunteer teacher in a remote village. (要点 2)
③The experience taught him to see life in a new light and embrace a better self. (要点3)(61 words)

Argumentation
Exercise is defined as any movement that makes your muscles work and requires your body to burn calories. There are many types of physical activity. Being active has been shown to have many health benefits, both physically and mentally.
Exercise plays a key role in building strong muscles and bones. This is because it helps release hormones that promote your muscles' ability to absorb amino acids(氨基酸).This helps them grow and reduces their breakdown. As people age, they tend to lose muscle mass and function, which can lead to an increased risk of injury. Practicing regular physical activity is essential to reducing muscle loss and maintaining strength as you age. Exercise not only helps build bone density when you're younger, but also helps prevent osteoporosis (骨质疏松症) later in life.

Exercise can help with sleep quality. The energy loss that occurs during exercise encourages restorative(康复 的) processes during sleep. Moreover, the increase in body temperature that occurs during exercise is thought to improve sleep quality by helping body temperature drop during sleep. Many studies on the effects of exercise on sleep have reached similar conclusions. One review of six studies found that participating in an exercise training program helped improve self-reported sleep quality.
Exercise works your muscles and burns extra calories.(定义没写不扣分) Being active in it benefits your physical and mental health. (要点 1)It helps strengthen your muscles and bones no matter how old you are. (要点 2) Apart from that, it helps to keep your mind sharp and prevent memory loss, (要点 3)let alone its positive effects on the improvement of your sleep quality. (要点 4)(63 words)
