26、Do women’s minds work the same as men’s? Absolutely not. At least, that is what most men are convinced of. Psychologists view the subject either as a matter or frustration or a joke. Now the biologists have moved into this minefield, and some of them have found that there are real differences between the brains of men and women. But being different, they point out hurriedly, is not the same as being better or worse.
There is, however, a definite structural variation between the male and female brain. The difference is in a part of the brain that is used in the most complex intellectual processes-the link between the two halves of the brain.
The two halves are linked by a trunkline of between 200 and 300 million nerves, the corpus callosum. Scientists have found quite recently that the corpus callosum in women is always larger and probably richer in nerve fibres than it is in men. This is the first time that a structural difference has been found between the brains of women and men and it must have some significance. The question is "What?", and, if this difference exists, are there others? Research shows that present-day women think differently and behave differently from men. Are some of these differences biological and inborn, a result of evolution? We tend to think that is the influence of society that produces these differences. But could we be wrong?
Research showed that these two halves of the brain had different functions, and that the corpus callosum enabled them to work together. For most people, the left half is used for word handing, analytical and logical activities; the right half works on pictures, patterns and forms. We need both halves working together. And the better the connections, the more harmoniously the two halves work. And, according to research findings, women have the better connections.
But it isn't all that easy to explain the actual differences between skills of men and women on this basis. In schools throughout the world girls tend to be better than boys at "language subjects" and boys better at maths and physics. If these differences correspond with the differences in the hemispheric trunkline, here is an unalterable distinction between the sexes.
We shan't know for a while, partly because we don't know of any precise relationship between abilities in school subject and the functioning of the two halves of the brain, and we cannot understand how the two halves interact via the corpus callosum. But this striking difference must have some effect and, because the difference is in the parts of the brain involved in intellect, we should be looking for differences in intellectual processing.
【1】Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
A. Results of scientific research fail to support popular belief.
B. Brain differences point to superiority of one sex over the other.
C. Biologists are conducting research where psychologists have given up
D. The structural difference in the brain between the sexes has long been known.
【2】The corpus callosum functions in __________.

A. social B. psychological C. physical D. biological
【4】"these differences" in paragraph 5 refer to those in ________.
A. school subjects
B. skills of men and women
C. the brain structure of men and women
D. activities carried out by the brain
【5】At the end of the passage the author proposes more work on ________.
A. the brain structure as a whole

D. the effects of the corpus callosum
27、Started in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest of all the many colleges and universities in the United States. Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.
In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men went to colleges. All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them become ministers or teachers.
In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive their training in Harvard’s law school. In 1825, besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began teaching American history.
As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them.
Today there are many different kinds of colleges and universities. Most of them are made up of smaller schools that deal with special fields of learning. There’s so much to learn that one kind of school can’ offer it all.
【1】From the second paragraph, we can see that in the early years, ______.
A. those colleges and universities were almost the same
B. people, young or old, might study in the colleges
C. the students studied only some languages and science
D. when the students finished their school, they became lawyers or teachers
【2】As knowledge increased, colleges began to teach ______.
A. everything that was known
B. law and something about medicine
C. many new subjects
D. the subjects that interested students
【3】On the whole, the passage is about ______.
A. how to start a university
B. the world-famous colleges in America
C. how colleges have changed
D. what kind of lessons each college teaches
28、Can I train myself to need less sleep?
As an experiment for his high-school science fair in 1964, a 17-year-old San Diego boy named Randy Gardner stayed awake for 264 hours. That is 11 days. The project attracted the attention of the Stanford sleep researchers William Dement. Dement and other researchers took turns watching and assessing the young man's consciousness. 【1】 Nor did he seem to suffer any permanent setbacks. Dement said that on day 10, Gardner even beat him at pinball.
I asked David Dinges, the chief of the division of sleep at the University of Pennsylvania, how many people could do anything close to that without dying. He replied that "when animals are sleep- deprived constantly, they will suffer serious biological consequences. Death is one of those consequences”.
That said, cases like Gardner's--- of people who suffered great sleep deprivation without major setbacks--are well documented. 【2】 Dinges said that "we probably do have people among us—and not necessarily 1 percent; there may be many more than that—who can actually tolerate sleep loss better than others." This proposition has been borne out in studies of participants in transoceanic sailing races, which did not afford them the luxury of long blocks of sleep. 【3】
The concept of sleeping in short bursts has spread since those races began, in the 1960s. Today, a small global community of people practices "polyphasic sleeping”，based on the idea that by dividing your sleep into short bursts, you can get away with less of it.
【4】 And he notes that even for the 1 percent (or so) who can survive on less sleep and function well cognitively, we still don't know how the practice might be affecting metabolism, mood, and many other factors. “ You may be cheerful, but not cognitively fit. Or you may be cognitively fit, but hard to be around because you’re pushy or hyperactive.
A．The winners tended to be the people who slept the least, often in multiple short bursts.
B．The crucial finding was that throughout their time in the study, the sixers thought they were functioning perfectly well.
C．A small number of people, sometimes called "short sleepers” and commonly thought to make up perhaps 1 percent of the population, seem to survive on only four or five hours a night.
D．But when the doctor put patients in a lab to make certain they stayed awake, performance suffered.
E．Though it is possible to train oneself to sleep in short bursts instead of a single nightly block, Dinges says it does not seem possible to train oneself to need less sleep per 24-hour cycle.
F．By all accounts, he took no stimulant medications.
