Do you believe that only boys do well in science? Does it seem to you that girls have better language （语言）skills than boys? Do you think boys are better at building things? If your answer to each of those questions is “Yes, you are right, according to an article in Current Science. ” There are exceptions (例外), but here are the facts.
Usually, boys get higher points on tests about math, but girls do better in tests about words, spelling and memory. But these differences may not always be true. In the future, a person’s abilities may not be decided by sex(性别). As one scientist says, “Nothing is impossible for a person to be or do.”
A recent study by Jerome Kagan, a scientist at Harward University is studying the watching ability of children 10 months old. Baby boys and baby girls are watching a “show” while seated on their mothers’ laps. In Act I of the show, an orange-colored ball is lifted form a blue box and moved slowly. Then it is returned to the box. This is repeated six times. Act Ⅱ is almost the same, except(除了) that the orange ball is smaller. Baby boys do not seem to notice the difference in the size of the ball, but girls become excited and begin to make noises that sound like language at once.
It’s also known that baby girls usually talk at an earlier age than baby boys do. Scientists believe that the left side of the brain develops(发育) faster in girls than in boys. At last, by the time they start to school, little girls are better than boys, but what have the boys been doing in the year before starting school? They have been developing something called aggression. An aggressive person feels strong and independent(独立). He is often the first one to start a fight. It is said that aggression is caused by hormones(荷尔蒙). Scientists believe that hormones are not the only reason. They say aggression in boys is also caused(导致) by mothers.
( )54. Where does this text possibly come from
A. Reading for babies. B. A newspaper on science.
C. A school D. A travel guide.
( )55. According to the passage, .
A. boys and girls have completely different skills
B. it is impossible for girls to become a scientist in the future
C. girls always get higher scores than boys in math
D. boys may usually do better in building things than girls
( )56. The writer uses the example of the orange ball to show that
A. baby boys are cleverer than baby girls
B. baby boys are not interested in shows
C. baby girls are better at watching different things
D. baby girls talk at an earlier age than baby boys do
( )57. The underlined word “aggression” in paragraph 3 means “ ”.
A. an angry feeling B. a nice feeling C. a happy feeling D. a sad feeling
C
Allan is eight this year and he’s in Grade Two. The boy is clever and can answer all the questions in class. But he hates to stay in the classroom for more than half an hour. He would not listen to he teachers when class is soon going to be over. Or he touches his deskmate’s(同桌) head, or he makes faces. He often makes the whole class laugh. His teachers tell his parents about it. He has to make a promise that he won’t do that again. But soon he will forget it.
The teachers think he does well in his lessons and don’t mind it.
One Saturday evening Allan finished his homework as soon as he had supper. He turned on the television, but there was no football match on TV.
He found all the programmes were not interesting and turned it off. He saw his sister Mabel doing her homework in her bedroom. He decided to play a joke on her. He found an earthworm(蚯蚓) in the garden and put it in her clothes. The girl was so frightened that she cried out for help. Their mother heard this and went in to find out what had happened there. Of course, the boy was punished(处罚) for it.
The next morning Mabel gave her mother a card and said, “Merry Mother’s Day. Mum!” The woman was happy and thanked her daughter. But Allan had nothing to give his mother as a present. He felt sorry and said ,“Don’t be angry with me Mummy. I’ve forgotten it.”
“It doesn’t matter, dear,” said his mother. “The best present is to be a good boy. Don’t be naughty(淘气), my son, or your child will be naughty, too!”
Hearing this, the boy began to laugh and said. “You’ve told me the truth today, Mummy!”
( )58. Allan does well in his lessons, so .
A. his teachers aren’t angry with him B. his teachers let him leave the classroom

( )59. , so she cried out.
