r friend set up a “go fund me” type page for friends

and to donate and help the friends, including me, helped

with money, meals, lamprey and their dog while they were getting back

on their feet.

Last week, they sent thank­you roommate received one

addressed to her and I did not. The notes were not in modularized; it

was a printed one­size­fits­all roommate realized I didn't

receive a thank­you note, so she sent a private message to the couple

just letting them know I had been left out.I didn't know she had done

this until later.

The next day, I got a text message apologizing and saying that I had

been left out because their friend who addressed the notes must have

missed me！(Miss Manners, they didn't even address the notes

themselves！)It was accompanied by a picture of the thank­you note, which

was texted to me with the message, “Here is a thank you just for you. ”

I was a little annoyed.I helped them in their need and didn't get

a second thought.I have not responded to her text it fair of

me to consider this friendship over? Should I tell her that I am upset,

or should I accept that this rude thank you was better than nothing?

【三县联谊校2014高考二模】E

Did you know that women’s brains are smaller than men’s? The average

women’s brain weighs 10% less than men’s. Since research has shown that

the bigger the brain, the cleverer the animal, men must be more

intelligent(聪明的) than women. Right? Wrong. Men and women always score

similarly on intelligence tests, despite the difference in brain size.

Why? After years of study, researchers have concluded that it’s what’

s inside that matters, not just the size of the brain. The brain consists

of “grey matter” and“white matter”. While men have more of the

latter ,the amount of “thinking” brain is almost exactly the same in

both sexs.

It has been suggested 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 tend to learn to speak earlier, and that women

can understand sorts of information from different sources at the same

time. When it comes to talking to the boss on the phone, cooking dinner

and keeping an eye on the baby all at the same time, it’s women who come

out on top every time.

There are other important differences between two sexes. As white

matter is the key to spatial(空间的) tasks, men know better where things

are in relation to other things. “A great footballer always knows where

he is in relation to the other players, and he knows where to go,” says

one researcher. That may explain one of life’s great mysteries:Why men

refuse to ask for directions … and women often need to!

The differences begin when fetuses(胎儿) are about nine weeks old,

which can be seen in the action of children as young as one. A boy would

try to climb a barrier (障碍物) before him or push it down while a girl

would attract 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 skills. It may all go back to our ancestors(祖先) ,among

whom women needed speech skills to take care of their babies and men

needed spatial skills to hunt, according to one research.

If all this disappoints you, it shouldn’t. “The brain changes

throughout our lives according to what we do with it,” says a biologist.

72. Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?

A. Women’s brain is 10% less than men’s.

B. Grey matter plays the same role as white matter.

C. Grey matter controls thinking in the brain.

D. Both sexes have the same amount of white matter.

73. What can we infer from the second and third paragraphs?

A. Men do better dealing with one job at a time.

B. Women prefer doing many things at a time.

C. Women do not need to tell directions.

D. Men have weaker spatial abilities.

74. Which of the following do you agree with according to the fourth

paragraph?

A. Young boys may be stronger than young girls.

B. More women take up jobs requiring speech skills.

C. Women may have stronger feelings than men.

D. Our ancestors needed more spatial skills.

75. What is the writer’s attitude in writing this passage?

A. Defensive. B. Persuasive. C. Supportive. D. Objective
