20、ns? Normally the womens brain weighs 10% less than mens. Since research has shown that the bigger the brain, the cleverer the animal, men must be more intelligent than women. Right? Wrong. Men and women always score similarly on intelligence tests, despite the difference in brain size. Why? After ye

21、ars of study, researchers have concluded that its whats inside that matters, not just the size of the brain. The brain is made up of “grey matter” and “white matter”. While men have more of the white matter, the amount of “thinking” brain is almost the same in both men and women.It has been suggeste

22、d that smaller brain appears to work faster, perhaps because the two sides of the brain are better connected in women. This means that little girls may learn to speak earlier, and that women can understand sorts of different information at the same time. When it comes to talking to the boss on the p

25、e seen in the action of children when they are very young. A boy would try to climb a barrier before him or push it down while a girl would ask for help from others. These brain differences also explain the fact that more men take up jobs that require good spatial skills, while more women speech ski

26、lls. It may all go back to our ancestors, among whom women needed speech skills to take care of their babies and men needed spatial skills to hunt, according to one research.25. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 1?AGrey matter controls thinking in the brain.BMen s brain is 10% le

30、f library, you can do just thateven though theres not a single book.At a Human Library, instead of books, you can “borrow” people. Individuals volunteer as human “books” and participants in the event can “read” the bookmeaning they would have a one-on-one conversation with the volunteer and share in

31、 a dialogue about that individuals experience. “Books” are volunteers from all walks of life who have experienced discrimination (歧视) based on race, religion, class, gender identity, age, lifestyle choices, disability and other aspects of their life.For a certain amount of time, you can ask them que

32、stions and listen to their stories, which are as fascinating and as attractive as any you can find in a book. Many of the stories have to do with some kind of stereotype. You can speak with a refugee (难民), a soldier suffering from PTSD, a homeless person or a woman living with HIV. The Human Library

33、 encourages people to challenge their own long-held beliefs to truly get to know, and learn from someone they might otherwise make a quick judgment about.According to its website, the Human Library is “a place where difficult questions are expected, appreciated and answered.” It provides the opportu

34、nity for the community to share and understand the experiences of others in their community.The Human Library Organization came to be in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2000. Ronni Abergel and his colleagues hosted a four-day event during a major Northern European festival, hoping to raise awareness about vi

35、olence among youth.

41、objects and turn them into smart Internet of Things devices.The metal tags are made from copper foil (铜箔) printed onto thin, flexible, - 10 -paper-like materials to reflect WiFi signals. The tags work essentially like “mirrors” that reflect radio signals from a WiFi router(路由器). When a users finger

42、touches these “mirrors”, it disturbs the reflected WiFi signals in such a way that can be remotely sensed by a WiFi receiver like a smartphone.The tags can be nailed onto objects that people touch every day, like water bottles, walls or doors. These objects then become smart and connected devices th

43、at can signal a WiFi device whenever a user interacts with them. The tags can also be shaped into thin keypads or smart home control panels that can be used to remotely operate WiFi-connected speakers and other Internet of Things devices.Xinyu Zhang, a professor of electrical and computer engineerin

44、g, named the technology LiveTag. He pictures people using LiveTag technology to track human interaction with everyday objects. For example, LiveTag could potentially be used to assess the recovery of patients who have suffered from stroke (中风). “When patients return home, they could use this technol

45、ogy to provide data based on how they interact with everyday objects at home, whether they are opening or closing doors in a normal way, or if they are able to pick up bottles of water, for example. The amount, intensity and frequency of their activities could be recorded and sent to their doctors t

46、o evaluate their recovery,” said Zhang. “And this can all be done in the comfort of their own homes rather than having to keep going back to the clinic for frequent testing,” he added.The researchers note several limitations of the technology. LiveTag currently cannot work with a WiFi receiver furth

47、er than one meter away, so researchers are working on improving the tag sensitivity and detection range. Ultimately, the team aims to develop a way to make the tags using normal paper and ink printing, which would make them cheaper to mass produce.33. When people touch a printable metal tag,_.A. the

48、y are actually touching a mirrorB. the WiFi router will stop sending signalsC. the reflected WiFi signals will be disturbedD. their fingers can be sensed by a WiFi router- 11 -34.
