Everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older, but men's minds decline more than women's, according to the results of a worldwide survey.

    Certain differences seem to be inherent in male and female brains: Men are better at maintaining and dealing with mental images (useful in mathematical reasoning<推論；說服> and spatial <空間的>skills), while women tend to excel (擅長) at recalling information from their brain's files (helpful with language skills and remembering the locations of objects).

    Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline (衰退) people experience as they age, but the results have been mixed.

    Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women, while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline. Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people, and women live longer than men: The men tested are the survivors, "so they're the ones that may not have shown such cognitive（認(rèn)知的；認(rèn)識的） decline," said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in England.

    People surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills: matching an object to its rotated（旋轉(zhuǎn)的） form, matching lines shown from the same angle, typing as many words in a particular category (范疇) as possible in the given time, e.g.  "object usually colored gray", and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing. The first two were tasks at which men usually excel; the latter are typically dominated(占有主導(dǎo)地位的) by women.

    Within each age group studied, men and women performed better in their separate categories on average. And though performance declined with age for both genders（性別）, women showed obviously less decline than men overall（全部地）.

The underlined word in the second paragraph means_________.

   A. natural     B. great C. obvious D. absolute

According to the passage, which of the following can Not be typed into the same category?

   A. cloud   B. sheep C. trees D. goose

Which of the following statements is true according the article?

   A. Men do better than women when it comes to learning English.

   B. Women stand out at remembering people’s names.

   C. Men excel at typing as many words in a particular category as possible in the given time.

   D. Women excel at dealing mathematic problems.

One important factor that affects the correctness of the results is that _________.

   A. the old men tested may not have shown such cognitive decline

   B. people surveyed are all old

   C. people taking part in this test came from all over the world   D. women live longer than men

The author aims to tell us that __________.

   A. women’s minds perform better than men’s

   B. men’s minds decline more with age

   C. everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older

D. a survey on human’s mind decline was done recently

In earliest times, men considered lightning to be one of the great mysteries of nature. Some ancient people believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons of the gods.
In reality, lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth. A single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometres long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs .
The American scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752. In the same year he also built the first lightning rod (避雷針). This device protects buildings from being damaged by lightning.
Modern science has discovered that one stroke of lightning has a voltage (電壓) of more than 15 million volts (伏特). A flash of lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second.
Scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year. Lightning hits the Empire State Building in New York City 30 to 48 times a year. In the United States alone it kills an average of one person every day.
The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car. Outside, one should go to low ground and not get under tress. Also on,e should stay out of water and away from metal fences. Inside a house, people should avoid open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things.
