问题     There is no denying it: Boys think differently from girls. Even though recent brain research evidence is controversial(争议的), that conclusion seems inescapable. One clue to brain differences between the sexes came from observation of infants. One study found that from shortly after birth, females are more sensitive to certain types of sounds, particularly to a mother’s voice. Female babies are also more easily awoken by loud noises.
    Tests show girls have increased skin sensitivity, particularly in the fingertips, and are better at fine motor performance. Female infants speak sooner, have larger vocabularies and rarely show speech mistakes. (Stuttering, for instance, occurs almost only among boys.) Girls exceed boys in language abilities, and this early linguistic bias(倾向) often continues throughout life. Girls read sooner, learn foreign languages more easily and, as a result, are mole likely to enter to occupations involving language mastery.
    Boys, in contrast, show an early visual superiority. They are also clumsier, performing poorly at something like arranging a row of beads, but excel at other activities calling on total body coordination. A study of preschool children by psychologist Diane McGuinness of Standford University found boys more curious, especially in regard to exploring his environment. Her studies also confirmed that males are better at manipulating three-dimensional space.
    There is evidence that some of these differences in performance are differences in brain organization between boys and girls. Overall, verbal and spatial abilities in boys tend to be "packaged" into different hemisphere: the right hemisphere for nonverbal tasks, the left for verbal tasks. But in girls nonverbal skills are likely to be found on both sides of the brain. The hemispheres of women’s brains may be less specialized for these functions.
选项 A、The other families might not even know a family that lived close by in the past.
B、We live in an age of machines when machines can do everything.
C、Neighboring is not as common as it used to be.
D、Everyone shared the same problem—power is not enough for daily use.
答案C
解析 根据全文的意思，可以说[A]与文章的说法刚好相反；[B]说我们生活在机器可以为我们做一切的时代，文章却没有这样说；[D]说能源不够日常之用，这是每一人共同的问题，文章没有说。因此答案为[C]。
