In almost all countries, far fewer women than men choose STEM（理工科）careers. Its not that g
10、irls and women are bad at maths. In the UK in 2019, for example, 39% of 18-year-old girls who studied maths at A-level achieved an A or A*, compared to 42% of boys. For A-level physics, 29% of girls achieved the top two grades, compared to 28% of boys. But in both subjects, boys heavily outnumbered
11、girls-by more than 3:1 in the case of physics. So why are so many girls turning their backs on these subjects?A study published recently in the journal PNAS suggests that the answer may in fact lie in male-female differences in academic ability, but the ability in question is reading, not maths. Tho
12、mas Breda, at Paris School of Economics, and Clotilde Napp, at Paris Dauphine University, wondered whether this male-female difference in reading could help explain the gender gap in STEM careers. Every three years, hundreds of thousands of 15-year-olds in more than 60 countries take part in the PIS
13、A study. Students complete tests in maths, reading and science, and answer questions about their future career intentions. When Breda and Napp looked at the data from PISA 2012, they realized they were on to something. There were small gender gaps in maths performance at 15 years old, but these gaps
14、 were too small to explain the huge gender segregation（隔离）in STEM, says Breda. But for reading, the tables were turned; the girls were much better than the boys. As a result, when a boy and a girl had similar scores in maths, the girl usually had an even better score in reading. When Breda and Napp
15、compared each students scores in reading and maths, they found the greater a students advantage in reading, the less likely they were to plan a career in maths, even when their maths score was also high. Notably, this was true for both boys and girls. It makes a lot of sense, says Sarah Cattan, of t
16、he Institute for Fiscal Studies. It shows that what matters most when boys and girls choose their field of study is not how good they are in maths or in reading, but how good they are in maths relative to reading.4What do the data in Paragraph 2 show?AThe average gender difference in maths performan

Action is needed to protect animals at both ends of the scale, they say. The research adds to
21、evidence that animals are dying out on such a scale that a sixth extinction is considered under way.One clue is body size. Research on birds and mammals has shown that those with larger bodies are more likely to go extinct. Yet, when the researchers made a database of thousands of birds, mammals, fi

However, fish, birds, reptiles and amphibians that are the giants of their kind, such as the whale shark, Somali ostrich (鸵鸟) and the Chinese g

Meanwhile, small species at risk-such as frogs and shrews (鼩鼱)-receive very little attention. “I think, for the smallest species, first of all we need to bring higher awareness to them, because the larger ones get a lot of attention, but the smaller ones
25、get very little,” said Prof. Ripple.In the study, vertebrates with the smallest and the largest bodies were found to be most at risk of disappearing, whether they were on land or living in oceans, streams or rivers.Heavyweights are threatened mainly by hunting, while featherweights are losing out to

Several minutes after her leaving, the men murdered a person working in the building
30、. The police determined that the woman was the only witness and could possibly describe them. However, her memory of the men proved disappointingly unclear. Several days later, psychologist Ronald Fisher was brought in to obtain a more complete account from the woman. His interview produced a breakt
31、hroughthe woman reported a clear picture of one of the suspects. The important information enabled the police to arrest the suspect and close the case. The police asked Fisher for help because of his rich knowledge in cognitive (认知) interview, a kind of memory-rebuilding process. Memory researchers
32、have found that people trying to remember a past event often only recall part of the relevant information. Human memory is selective and it is often distorted by stress. But a persons accurate recall of an event or understanding of a question can be improved using specific interviewing techniques. T
33、he “cognitive interview” was developed in the late 1990s. It encourages the witness to take an active role in recalling information rather than giving answers only to someone elses questions. The witness first describes what happened in his or her own words, with no interviewer interruptions. The in
34、terviewer then goes further with specific techniques, such as having the witness tell the details of what happened from different perspectives(角度). The cognitive interview focuses on guiding witnesses through four general recalling techniques: thinking about physical surroundings and personal feelin

Experiments with police detectives trained in this demanding interview method find that they obtain nearly 50% more information from witnesses than before training, while error rates remain about the same. It is proved that cognitive interviews are quite important tools in improving the accur
