听力原文： The human brain processes male and female voices differently, according to a recent study, which explains why most of us hear female voices more clearly. The study also explains how we form. mental images of people based only on the sound of their voices. The findings, published in the journal NeuroImage, might also give insight into why many men tire of hearing women speak. It seems the complexity of female voices requires a lot of brain activity.
"'It is females' increased use of prosody, or the natural 'melody' of speech, that makes their voices more complex," says author Professor Michael Hunter. Hunter, professor of medicine and biomedical sciences at the University of Sheffield's Cognition and Neuroimaging Laboratory, says these qualities are not related to pitch, but rather to the vibration and number of sound waves.
For the study Hunter and his colleagues played recordings of male and female voices to 12 men while they underwent MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging, brain scans. Test subjects assigned a gender to the voices they heard while the scans took place, and were 98% to 99% accurate. Researchers monitored the areas of the brain that showed activity during the scans.
The scientists found that female voices activated the brain's auditory section. But male voices activated the area at the back of the brain called the mind's eye, where people compare other individuals and things to themselves. While the researchers only analysed how a male brain works, they theorized that female voices are always processed in the brain's auditory region, even when women are listening to other women.
But Hunter thinks female voices may also activate the mind's eye in females, since a woman would compare her voice to that of the other female speaker. Since humans process female voices in an area of the brain that's geared for sound, we tend to hear female voices more clearly. While Hunter believes female voices are complex, he says that once they are interpreted in the auditory part of the brain, they are more fully and readily decoded.
Why most of us hear women voices more clearly？
A．Because their voices are more pleasant to listen to.
B．Because the place possessing voices in the brain is different.
C．Because listening to women requires more brain activities.
D．Because women's voices are full of melodies.

听力原文：A(Female): Not everybody reads the daily newspaper. People who don't read newspaper are sometimes referred to as non-readers.
B(Male): Yes. I think I am one of those who are called non-readers. I read no newspaper, no books. I just like watching TV.
A: Early research has shown that the non-readers are generally low in education,, low in income, either very young or very old. In addition, non-readers are more likely to live in rural areas and have less contact with neighbors and friends.
B: Woo, I am definitely not in that type. That's a kind of horrible lifestyle, no friends, no social contacts. I am not trying to isolate myself, by the way, I just have no time to read. I am always so busy.
A: I know that is your excuse. People like you always say they don't have the time, they prefer radio or TV, they have no interest in reading a tale and besides they think newspapers are too expensive. I am sure you do not fit the type I mentioned. You are high in income and rather intellectual. You know newspaper editors are desperate to win you people back and they are working hard to make the newspaper's content and format more attractive to you.
B: Oh, I don't think so. Maybe I can try some thing new and see if they are improving. But you know, only when I am not so busy and my TV doesn't work any more.
A: seriously, you should restart reading. Just spend sometime on it and you will find actually you are not losing time by doing that, you are enriching your life in a wonderful way. That's why I love reading and I never get such a feeling in TV programs.
What are non-readers, according to the first speaker？
A．People seldom read newspapers
B．People cannot read.
C．People have eye problems.
D．All the above

Gary Finkle had his spinal cord(脊髓)severely injured in a swimming-pool accident seven years ago. A heavy-set, bearded man of 27, he is one of thousands of Americans who have lost virtually all feeling and movement from their shoulders down. He lives with his wife, Micky, and a female monkey named Jo outside the village of Andes, N.Y.
Gary is a participant in a remarkable enterprise called Helping Hands: Simian Aides for the Disabled. The nonprofit organization supplies the disabled with trained monkeys that reduce the disabled person's dependency on family, friends and hired attendants.
Using his mouth, Gary controls a small laser pointer mounted on his wheelchair. With it, he directs Jo to change books or magazines in his reading stand or to get him tapes for the cassette player. She brings him drinks from a refrigerator and clears away empties.
When asked, Jo will fetch the remote control for the TV and place it on Gary's working table where he can operate it with his mouth-stick. The mouth-stick is a quadriplegic's(瘫痪者)primary tool. It can be used for practically everything: turning the pages of a book, dialing the telephone, changing channels on the TV, working at a typewriter or computer. If Gary's mouth-stick drops to the floor. Jo will pick it up and gently reinsert it into his mouth.
"I can't imagine living without her," Gary says. He will always need human assistance for such things as getting in and out of bed, bathing or changing his clothes. But having Jo lessens his reliance on Micky, enabling her to do things in town without worrying about her husband's welfare.
Jo is a robot to help the disabled with daily life.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned
听力原文： Researching friendship，psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. No matter what their age，their sex，the results were completely clear. Women have more friendships than men，and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is“marked and unmistakable”.
More than two-thirds of the single men，Rubin interviewed，could not name a best friend. Those who could were likely to name a woman. Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend，and almost always it was a woman. More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend，most trusted person，or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress. “Most women. ”says Rubin，“identified at least one，usually more，trusted friends to whom they could turn to in a troubled moment，and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives. ”
“In general，”Rubin writes in her new book，“women's friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support，but men's relationships are marked by shared activities. ”“Even when a man is said to be a best friend，”Rubin writes，“the two share little about their innermost feelings. Whereas a woman's closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave fl failing marriage，it wasn't unusual to hear a man say he didn't know his friend's marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa. ”
