Whatever the explanation, the battle of the sexes continues. And although their brains are constructed slightly differently, men and women may be equally capable. They may simply rely on different abilities. Take a couple arguing over the location of their car in a parking lot. The man might use his sense of space to find it, while the woman relies on her recognition of landmarks. They both find the car. But chances are, theyll still argue about whos the better driver and whos better at finding the way home.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. When do men and women begin to show different behaviors?
27. According to the speaker, why do women commonly use both sides of the brain?
28. In a parking lot, men and women rely on what to find their cars?
Passage Two
When the prices of stocks go up, its called a bull market. When the prices of stocks go down, its called a bear market. No one is really sure where these names come from, but they have been around since the 1800s. Some people think they are based on how real bulls and bears behave. When a bull catches you, it tosses you up with its horns. When a bear catches you, it pulls you down with its paws.
Because you can lose money buying stock, it is very important to learn everything you can about a business before investing in its stock. All businesses, no matter how good they are, have their ups and downs. But if you learn all you can about a business before buying the stock, and are prepared to hold on to the stock for many years, you will probably be able to sell it for more than you paid for it.
