Now scientific research supports this theory about mal
13、e and female brains. A recent study has confirmed what we have known all alongmen and women think differently.Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania studied brain images of 949 people aged from eight to 22 years old. They found that male brains have more connections on one side of the brain, o
14、r hemisphere. In the female brains, they found more activity and connections between the right and left sides of the brain. The left side of the brain is known as the side of “reason.” The right hemisphere is known as the “creative” side.Regina Verma is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
15、 She co-wrote the report. She says when women are asked to do something difficult they might use different parts of the brain. Men, she adds, generally use just one side of the brain. As a result, men generally deal directly with a problem. There is a strong connection between the “understanding” an

28、ne of us gets so used to punctuation marks that not many of us give them a second thought. Actually, the ancient Greeks wrote this way. The lack of punctuation marks probably didnt bother good readers, though. As they read, they just put pauses where they fit best. Also at this time, sentences switc
29、hed directions. A sentence read from left to right. The next one read right to left, and then left to right again, etc. The ancient Romans sometimes punctuated like this: They put something that can separate words in a sentence. The word punctuation actually comes from this idea and the Latin word p
30、unctum, which means a dot.When the 5th century arrived, there were just two punctuation marks: spaces and points. The spaces separated words while the points showed pauses in reading. Then in the 13th century, a printer named Aldus Manutius tried to standardize punctuation. He always used a period f
31、or a complete stop at the end of a sentence. He used a slash (/) to indicate a short pause. Over time, that slash was shortened and curled, and it became the modern comma (逗号).Since that time, other marks have enlarged the punctuation family. The exclamation mark (感叹号) comes from the Latin word io.
32、It means “exclamation of joy.” The question mark originally started out as the Latin word questio, meaning question. Eventually, scholars put it at the end of a sentence to show a question.Punctuation even keeps changing nowadays. New marks are coming into existence, and old punctuation marks are us
33、ed in new ways. Take for example the “interrobang”. This 1962 invention combines the question mark and exclamation mark for times when writers want both. For example, “She did what?” or “How much did you pay for that dress?” Obviously, the interrobang is not widely used or recognized yet, but its in
34、vention shows that English is not yet finished with its punctuation.27From the first paragraph, we can know that _.A. good readers had trouble reading without punctuation marksB. a sentence always read from left to right in ancient GreeceC. ancient Greeks switched the direction of punctuation marksD
35、. the use of punctuation marks can date back to ancient times28The passage is developed _.A. by time B. by spaceC. by comparison D. by importance29We can learn from the passage that _.A. ancient Romans didnt use any punctuation marksB. exclamation and question marks came from LatinC. spaces and slas
