Many men and women have long bought into the idea that there are "male" and "female" brains, believing that explains just about every difference between the sexes. A new study【C1】 that belief, questioning whether brains really can be distinguished by gender.
    In the study, Tel Aviv University researchers【C2】 for sex differences throughout the entire human brain.
    And what did they find? Not much. Rather than offer evidence for【C3】 brains as "male" or "female," research shows that brains fall into a wide range, with most people falling right in the middle.
    Daphna Joel, who led the study, said her research found that while there are some gender-based【C4】 , many different types of brain can't always be distinguished by gender.
    While the "average" male and "average" female brains were【C5】 different, you couldn't tell it by looking at individual brain scans. Only a small【C6】 of people had "all-male" or "all-female" characteristics.
    Larry Cahill, an American neuroscientist(神经科学家), said the study is an important addition to a growing body of research questioning【C7】 beliefs about gender and brain function. But he cautioned against concluding from this study that all brains are the same,【C8】 of gender.
    "There's a mountain of evidence【C9】 the importance of sex influences at all levels of brain function,"he told The Seattle Times.
    If anything, he said, the study【C10】 that gender plays a very important role in the brain—"even when we are not clear exactly how. "

The ocean is heating up. That's the conclusion of a new study that finds that Earth's oceans now【C1】______ heat at twice the rate they did 18 years ago. Around half of ocean heat intake since 1865 has taken place since 1997, researchers report online in Nature Climate Change. Warming waters are known to【C2】______ to coral bleaching(珊瑚白化)and they take up more space than cooler waters, raising sea【C3】______ . While the top of the ocean is well studied, its depths are more difficult to【C4】______ . The researchers gathered 150 years of ocean temperature data in order to get a better【C5】______ of heat absorption from surface to seabed. They gathered together temperature readings collected by everything from a 19th century【C6】______ of British naval ships to modern automated ocean probes. The extensive data sources,【C7】______ with computer simulations(计算机模拟), created a timeline of ocean temperature changes, including cooling from volcanic outbreaks and warming from fossil fuel【C8】______ . About 35 percent of the heat taken in by the oceans during the industrial era now resides at a【C9】______ of more than 700 meters, the researchers found. They say they're【C10】______ whether the deep-sea warming canceled out warming at the sea's surface.A)absorb I)heightsB)combined J)indifferentC)contribute K)levelsD)depth L)mixedE)emissions M)pictureF)excursion N)unsureG)explore O)voyageH)floor

When someone commits a criminal act, we always hope the punishment will match the offense. But when it comes to one of the cruelest crimes—animal fighting—things【C1】______ work out that way. Dog-fighting victims are【C2】______ and killed for profit and "sport," yet their criminal abusers often receive a【C3】______ sentence for causing a lifetime of pain. Roughly half of all federally-convicted animal fighters only get probation(缓刑). Some progress has been made in the prosecution(起诉)of animal fighters. But federal judges often rely heavily on the U. S. Sentencing Guidelines when they【C4】______ penalties, and in the case of animal fighting, those guidelines are outdated and extremely【C5】______ . The U. S. Sentencing Commission, which【C6】______ these sentencing guidelines, is revisiting them, proposing to raise the minimum sentence from 6-12 to 21 -27 months. This is a step in the right【C7】______ , but we'd like to see the U. S. Sentencing Commission make further changes to the guidelines. Along with this effort, we're working with animal advocates and state and federal lawmakers to【C8】______ anti-cruelty laws across the country, as well as supporting laws and policies that assist overburdened animal【C9】______ that care for animal fighting victims. This help is【C10】______ important because the high cost of caring for animal victims is a major factor that prevents people from getting involved in cruelty cases in the first place.A)convenient I)methodB)creates J)minimalC)critically K)rarelyD)determine L)sheltersE)direction M)strengthenF)hesitate N)sufferingsG)inadequate O)torturedH)inspired

Children do not think the way adults do. For most of the first year of life, if something is out of sight, it's out of mind. If you cover a baby's【C1】______toy with a piece of cloth, the baby thinks the toy has disappeared and stops looking for it. A 4-year-old may【C2】______that a sister has more fruit juice when it is only the shapes of the glasses that differ, not the【C3】______of juice. Yet children are smart in their own way. Like good little scientists, children are always testing their child-sized【C4】______about how things work. When your child throws her spoon on the floor for the sixth time as you try to feed her, and you say, "That's enough! I will not pick up your spoon again!" the child will【C5】______test your claim. Are you serious? Are you angry? What will happen if she throws the spoon again? She is not doing this to drive you【C6】______: rather, she is learning that her desires and yours can differ, and that sometimes those【C7】______are important and sometimes they are not. How and why does children's thinking change? In the 1920s, Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget proposed that children's cognitive(认知的)abilities unfold【C8】______, like the blooming of a flower, almost independent of what else is【C9】______in their lives. Although many of his specific conclusions have been【C10】______or modified over the years, his ideas inspired thousands of studies by investigators all over the world.A)advocate I)immediatelyB)amount J)naturallyC)confirmed K)obtainingD)crazy L)primarilyE)definite M)protestF)differences N)rejectedG)favorite O)theoriesH)happening

For many Americans, 2013 ended with an unusually bitter cold spell. Late November and December【C1】______early snow and bone-chilling temperatures in much of the country, part of a year when, for the first time in two【C2】______, record-cold days will likely turn out to have outnumbered record-warm ones. But the U. S. was the exception-. November was the warmest ever【C3】______, and current data indicates that 2013 is likely to have been the fourth hottest year on record.

So large is the Pacific, covering 30% of the planet's surface, that the【C6】______energy generated by its warming is enough to touch off a series of weather changes around the world. El Ninos are【C7】______with abnormally dry conditions in Southeast Asia and Australia. They can lead to extreme rain in parts of North and South America, even as southern Africa【C8】______dry weather.

As informatization progresses in society, the cause and structural nature of social inequality changes as well. It seems that the information society【C2】______the quantity of information available to the members of a society by revolutionizing the ways of using and exchanging information. But such a view is a【C3】______analysis based on the quantity of information supplied by various forms of the mass media.
