It’s an age-old saying: Men are from Mars; women are from Venus. Males and females 1 different behaviors almost from birth. Researchers say these behaviors are due to 2 differences in brain structure and activity. Studies show men are better at hitting targets and solving math problems 3 women are better at memorizing words and 4 faces. Why the differences?
A test of the brain’s electrical activity shows that women commonly use both sides of their brain while men rely more on one. Scientists already know that the two sides of the brain control different functions —one controlling the sense of space, 5 , the other controlling language. Some researchers believe that the different ways men and women use their brains 6 from ancient times, when cave men hunted and women 7 the children. Men had to have good aim. Women had to talk to the kids.
Whatever the 8 is, the battle of the sexes continues. And although their brains are constructed slightly differently, men and women may be equally capable. They may simply 9 different abilities. Take a couple arguing over the location of their car in a parking lot. The man might use his sense of 10 to find it, while the woman relies on her memory of landmarks. Both of them find the car. But chances are, they’ll still argue about who’s the better driver and who’s better at finding the way h ome.

In the last 500 years, nothing about people----not their clothes, ideas, or languages- -----has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London, shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.
The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “Potato Famine” of 1845~1846, and thousands more were forced to leave their homeland and move to America.
There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world’s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native
to Ethiopia, a country in Africa. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400s.
According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a person named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the “wide-awake” feeling that one-third of the world’s population now starts the day with.
1. According to the passage, which of the following has changed the most in the last 500 years?
A. Food.
B. Clothing.
C. Ideology.
D. Language.
2. “Some” in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to ____.
A. some cocoa trees
B. some chocolate drinks
C. some shops
D. some South American Indians
3. Thousands of Irish people starved during the “Potato Famine” because _______.
A. they were so dependent on potatoes that they refused to eat anything else
B. they were forced to leave their homeland and move to America
C. the weather conditions in Ireland were not suitable for growing potatoes
D. the potato harvest was bad
4. Which country is the largest coffee producer?
A. Brazil.
B. Colombia.
C. Ethiopia.
D. Egypt.
5. Which of the following statements is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. One third of the world’s population drinks coffee.

One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the “cashless society” is not on the horizo n---- it is already here.
While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to recorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel（职员）and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customer for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer-analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.
Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities（功用）to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.
1. According to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to _____.
A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes。
