         Hey,girls,if your boy classmates play naughty again,leave them alone. You are far more sensible than them,aren’t  you?

         Now Scientists from Newcastle University,UK, and Seoul University,South Korea,found that the brain matures earlier in girls than in boys. As the brain matures it begins to cut out unimportant information and focuses on important information. This process is called “pruning”.

         In order to work out this process,scientists scanned deep inside the brains of 121 people aged between 4 and 40. They found that pruning began much earlier in girls than in boys. Between the age of 10 and 12,a girFs brain will start to see a lot of activity as this pruning process happens. But for boys,this starts around the age of 15 and 20.

    During this process,the brain will turn off memories,sounds or sights that appear several times. But important connections,like linking the sound of a familiar person’s voice to their face are kept.

         “The loss of connectivity during brain development can help to improve brain function ,” scientist Sol Lim told The Daily Telegraph.

          Imagine you are at a party and everyone is talking. You can5t concentrate. But if you turn off some of the voices,it is easier to hear the others. The brain works in a similar way.

    If some of the connections are not there,it is easier to do the work.

          This new finding could help explain why teenage girls seem to grow up faster than their boy classmates.


    () 1. What did the scientists find?

       A. Boys are more naughty than girls.

       B. Girls are smarter than boys.

       C. The brain matures earlier in girls than in boys.

       D. Children's brains become smaller as they grow up.


    () 2. “Pruning” is a process that .

       A. the brain experiences as it matures

       B. makes the brain only remember important things

       C. begins much earlier in boys than in girls

       D. makes a girl's brain remember fewer activities


    () 3. During the pruning process,the brain will sometimes turn off the following EXCEPT .

       A. memories   B. sounds

       C. sights   D. important connections


    () 4. What does the party example show us?

       A. It's difficult to concentrate at a party.

       B. It's too noisy for your brain at a party.

       C. Brain function can improve sometimes.

       D. Teenage girls like to attend parties more than boys.

         Do you remember the song “Little swallow,wears bright clothes,and comes here every spring”？Do you want to know where all the swallows go during winter? They fly south in autumn to staywarrn and fly back north next spring. This type of travel is called migration.

         Not all birds migrate. Some who don’t need to worry about food live in the same place all year round. Robins, for exanple,can turn to fruit if they can't find worms or insects. For birds like swallows,who can't find much food,winter is a hard time* Plants die and insects hide The swallows have to move to warmer places.

         There are over 1 ,300 kinds of birds in China. More than half of them migrate,says Hou Yunqiu,an expert at the Bird Banding Centre of China. This includes swallows,wild ducks,swans and wild geese.

         To study migration,scientists band many birds every year. Some are caught again,or found after they die. By checking the band number with the Bird Banding Centre,scientists learn where the bird was first banded and how far it travelled.

         “China started banding birds only about 20 years ago”’ said Hou Yunqiu.

         “There's still a lot for us to discover."

    根据短文内容回答下列问题。

    1. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?

    2. What is the main reason for bird^s to migrate?

    3. Which birds mentioned in the passage do not migrate?

    4. Do wild ducks fly to the south in China?

    5. Why do we start the Bird Banding Centre?(请自拟一句话作答)
