33、re the more talkative sex because of a special “language protein” in the brain.The study, conducted by neuroscientists and psychologist from the University of Maryland, concluded that women talked more because they had more of the Foxp2 protein. The research, published in the Journal of Neuroscience

34、, found that higher levels were found among humans that were women but in rats that were males. Their findings came after it was previously claimed that ladies speak about 20,000 words a day over 13,000 more than men. “This study is one of the first to report a sex difference in the expression of a

35、language-associated protein in humans or animals,” said Prof Margaret McCarthy, who led the study. In their study, the researchers attempted to determine what might make male rats more vocal than their female friends.They separated four-day-old rats from their mothers and then counted the number of

36、times they cried out in the“ultrasonic (超声波的)range”, the frequencies higher than humans can hear, over five minutes. While both sexes called out hundreds of cries, the males called out twice as often, they found. But when the pups were returned to their mothers cage, she cared for her sons first. Te

37、sts conducted on the parts of the brain known to be associated with vocal calls showed the male pups have up to twice as much Foxp2 protein as the females. The researchers then increased the production in the brains of female pups and reduced it in males. This led to the female rats crying out more

38、often and their mothers showing more interest in them. In contrast, males became less “talkative”.The researchers then tested samples from ten children, aged between three and five, which showed that females had up to 30 per cent more of the Foxp2 protein than males, in a brain area key to language

39、in humans.“Based on our observations, we assume higher levels of Foxp2 in girls and higher levels of Foxp2 in male rats is an indication that Foxp2 protein levels are associated with the more communicative sex,” said Prof McCarthy.“Our results imply Foxp2 as a component of the neurobiological basis

40、of sex differences in vocal communication in mammals.”59. From the second paragraph, we can learn that _.A. women always speak more words than menB. McCarthy isnt the first to find females more talkative C. women and male rats have similar levels of Foxp2D. men and male rats have low levels of langu

44、ntains. These are: the protection of mountain ecosystems, the encouragement of peace and stability in mountain regions, and assistance for mountain people to maintain their ways of life.From the busy cities of India to the farmlands of California, more than half the worlds population is dependent on

45、 mountains for their fresh water supply. Global warming, deforestation, mining and heavy farming seriously damage breakable mountain ecosystems and put vital fresh water sources at risk.Mountain regions host a large proportion of the worlds wars. From Afghanistan to the Balkans and the Andes to many
