What kind of jobs may men do best, according to the passage?
Women are, on the whole, more verbal than men. They are good at language and verbal reasoning, while [14A] men tend to be skilled at tasks demanding visual-spatial abilities. In fact, along with aggression, these are the most commonly accepted differences between the sexes.
Words are tools for communicating with other people, especially information about people. They are mainly social tools. Visual and spatial abilities are good for imagining and manipulating objects and for communicating information about them. Are these talents programmed into the brain? In some of the newest and most controversial research in neurophysiology, it has been suggested that when it comes to the brain, males are specialists while women are generalists.
But no one knows what, if anything, this means in terms of the abilities of the two sexes. Engineering is both visual and spatial, and [15D] it’s true that there are relatively few women engineers. But women become just as skilled as men at shooting a rifle or driving a car, tasks that involve visual-spatial skills. They also do equally well at programming a computer, which is neither visual nor spatial. Women do, however, seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves. [16C]We all know men for whom machines seem to be extensions of their identity. A woman is more likely to see her car, rifle, or computer as a useful tool, but not in itself fascinating.
选项
A、The symbol of power.
B、The symbol of status.
C、The extension of his identity.
D、A useful tool.
答案
C
解析
文章结尾处提到,对男性来说machines就像是extensions of their identity,而car属于machine的一种,由此可知a car对于a man来说就是the extensions of his identity,答案为[C]。
