They Just Can't Help It

My theory is that the female brain is mainly built for empathy — the ability

to understand other people — and that the male brain is mainly built for

building systems. __15__ For example, women are more likely to read

magazines on fashion and parenting, while men will choose magazines that

feature computers and sport.

You may think that these preferences are influenced by the way people

are taught to behave when they are growing up. However, this is not the case.

A new study carried out at Cambridge University shows that newborn girls look

longer at a face, and newborn boys look longer at a mobile. __16__ It has also

been observed (that girls are better at noticing signs of changes in other

people's feelings. Boys, however, seem to enjoy building toy towers and

playing with toys which have clear functions. __17__ People whose jobs are in

the construction industries are almost male. Math and engineering, which

require high levels of systems-thinking, are also male-chosen disciplines.

Why do men and women have the difference? Actually women have four

times as many brain neurons (神经) that connect the right and left part of their

brains. Because of it, women have a better ability to multitask than men.

__18__ Men tend to focus on a limited number of problems at a time. They will

separate themselves from problems and view tasks as independent from one

another.

Some people may worry that I am suggesting one gender (*别) is better

than the other, but this is not the case. My theory says that males and females

differ in the kinds of things that they find easy, but that both genders have their

strengths and weaknesses. __19__ It is not true. The study simply looks at

males and females as two groups, and asks what differences exist, and why

they are there.

A. Generally speaking, there are clear differences.

B. Their preference for building systems may change over time.

C. You can see the same kind of pattern in the adult workplace.

D. They will consider many sources of information at the same time.

E. It is important to stress that the female brain may be built more for empathy.

F. That suggests certain differences between male and female brains are

biological.

G. Others may think the theory creates a belief of what a particular type of person is like.
