33、题数：1，分数：6.00)Researchers may have found a solution to the annoying gender-wage gap: Tell all the male CEOs to have more babies. And only child daughters, to be precise.A new, not-yet-published study that tracked 12 years of wage data in Denmark finds that when male CEOs had daughters, their female e

34、mployees wages went up 1.3 percent while their male employees only gained 0.8 percent raises. The studys authors-from Aalborg University in Denmark, the University of Maryland, and Columbia found that womens wages were boosted even more if the daughter was the first child of the CEO. The researchers

35、 found that the birth of a first daughter to a male CEO “resulted in a 1.4 percent increase in womens wages, and an approximately 0.8 percent decrease in the gender wage gap. If the first daughter was also a first child, the gender wage gap decreased by roughly 2.8 percent.“ If a second daughter was

36、 born to a male CEO, womens wages were not significantly affected. “Thus, our results suggest that the first daughter flips a switch in the mind of a male CEO, causing him to attend more to equality in gender-related wage policies,“ they write.David Gaddis Ross, co-author of the study and an assista

37、nt professor at Columbias Business School, said he would love to do a similar study in the United States, but there is no way the data would be available. “Getting this information in the United States would be wildly difficult, especially on the family structure of the CEOs,“ he said. The Denmark d

38、ata did not reveal names of individuals or companies, but each employee of every company in the country is attached to a code that researchers could use to find gender, number of children, salary, and other information such as home address and phone number.The study is not the first to examine how h

39、aving a daughter affects mens decision-making. Ebonya Washington wrote in a study published in the American Economic Review in 2008 that U.S. legislators were more likely to vote more liberally on womens reproductive issues if they had daughters. Another study found that parents with daughters were

40、more likely to adopt feminist views on gender equality.（分数：6.00）(1).According to the study, if the first child of the CEO was a daughter, the decrease of the gender wage gap was _. A. 0.8% B. 1.3% C. 1.4% D. 2.8%（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The Denmark study finds that male CEOs with daughters may _. A. bet

44、m very early childhood-but its not because we dont retain information as young children. Rather, it may be because at that age, our brains dont yet function in a way that bundles information into the complex neural patterns that we know as memories.Its clear that young children do remember facts in

45、the moment-such as who their parents are, or that one must say “please“ before morn will give you candy. This is called “semantic memory.“Until sometime between the ages two and four, however, children lack “episodic memory“ - memory regarding the details of a specific event. Such memories are store

46、d in several parts of the brains surface, or “cortex.“ For example, memory of sound is processed in the auditory cortexes, on the sides of the brain, while visual memory is managed by the visual cortex, at the back. A region of the brain called the hippocampus (海马体) ties all the scattered pieces together.“If you think of your cortex as a flower bed, there are flowers all across the top of your head,“ said Patricia Bauer of Emory University in Atlanta. “The hippocampus, tucked very neatly in the middle of your brain, is responsible for pulling those all to
