1. It's an 1)age-old 2)dispute: Men are from Mars. Women are from Venus. 3)Males and 4)females show different behaviors almost from birth. Researchers say these behaviors 5)are due to basic differences in brain structure and activity. Studies show men are better at hitting 6)targets and 7)solving math problems while women are better at 8)memorizing words and 9)recognizing faces. Why the difference?.
這是一個自古就存在的爭論：男人來自火星，女人來自金星。男人和女人幾乎自出生起就有不同的行為。研究人員表示，這些行為是由大腦結構和大腦活動的基本差異所引起的。研究顯示男人較擅于射中標靶和解決數學問題，而女人則比較擅長記憶文字和辨識臉孔。為什么會有這種差異呢？
1) nerve (n.) 神經2) cell (n.) 細胞1.1) age-old (a.) 古老的 2) dispute (v.) 爭論 3) male (n.) 男性 4) female (n.) 女性 5) be due to (v.) 由于，因為 6) target (n.) 靶子 7) solve (v.) 解決 8) memorize (v.) 記住 9) recognize (v.) 識別
2. A test of the brain's electrical activity (EEG) shows that women commonly use both sides of their brain while men rely more on one. Scientists already know that the two sides of the brain control different functions-one controlling the sense of space, for example, the other controlling language. Some researchers believe that the different ways men and women use their brains 1)evolved from ancient times, when cave men hunted and women cared for the children. Men had to have good aim. Women had to talk to the kids.
檢驗大腦的電流活動（腦波圖）顯示，女人通常是左右腦并用，而男人則比較常使用一邊的大腦。科學家已經知道左右兩邊的大腦掌管不同的功能--例如一邊掌管空間感，另一邊掌管語言。有些研究人員相信，男女使用大腦方式的差異從遠古時代演化而來，當時穴居的男人負責狩獵，女人則負責照顧小孩。所以男人必須擅長瞄準，女人則必須和小孩說話。
2.1) evolve (v.) 演化，逐步形成
3. Whatever the explanation, the 1)battle of the sexes continues. And although their brains are 2)constructed slightly differently, men and women may be equally 3)capable. They may simply 4)rely on different abilities. 5)Take a couple 6)arguing over the 7)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 8)landmarks. They both find the car. But 9)chances are, they'll still argue about who's the better driver and who's better at finding the way home.
無論是何種解釋，兩性之間的戰爭仍在進行中。而且雖然他們的`大腦構造稍有不同，但男人和女人的能力可能是一樣強的。他們只是仰賴不同的能力而已。例如，一對男女在為他們的車子停在停車場的哪個位置而爭吵，這位男士可能會運用他的空間感來找車子，女士則可能會依靠辨認地標。兩人都能找到車子。但很有可能，他們還是會爭論誰的駕駛技術比較好、誰比較善于找到回家的路。
3.1) battle (n.) 戰斗 2) construct (v.) 建造 3) capable (a.) 有能力的 4) rely on (v.) 依賴 5) take ... 拿……為例 6) argue (v.) 爭論 7) location (n.) 地點，位置 8) landmark (n.) 地標 9) chances are ... 很有可能……
