Do you believe that only boys do well in science？Does it seem to you that girls have better language skills than boys？In your opinion，are boys better at building things？If your answer to each of those questions is "Yes"，you are right．According to an article in Current Science．"There are exceptions（例外），but here are the facts．"
Usually，boys score higher on tests about math，while girls do better in tests about words，spelling and memory．But these differences may not always be true．In the future．a person's abilities may not be decided by sex．As one scientist says，"Nothing is impossible for a person to be or do．"
A recent study by Jerome Kagan，a scientist at Harward University is studying the watching ability of children 10 months old．Baby boys and baby girls are watching a "show" while seated on their mothers' laps．In ActⅠof the show，an orange﹣colored hall is lifted from a blue box and moved slowly．Then it is returned to the box．This is repeated six times．ActⅡis almost the same，except that the orange ball is smaller．
Baby boys do not seem to notice the difference in the size of the ball，but girls immediately become excited and begin to make noises that sound like language．
It's also known that baby girls usually talk at an earlier age than baby boys do．Scientists believe that the left side of the brain develops faster in girls than in boys．As a result，by the time they start to school，little girls have an advantage that boys don't have，but what have the boys been doing in the year before starting school？They have been developing something called aggression．An aggressive person feels strong and independent．He is often the first one to start a fight．It is said that aggression is caused by hormones（荷尔蒙）．Scientists believe that hormones are not the only cause．They say aggression in boys is also caused by mothers．

A lift is very useful. It looks like a small room. It goes up and down all day. Sometimes a worker stands in the lift. He or she operates（操作） it up and down. In modern lifts there's no worker. People walk in. They know what floor they want to go. They push a button(按钮)and the lift goes to that floor. It's very fast and easy.
Lifts are very important to us. Why? Think about a tall building. Maybe it has twenty floors. Maybe it has fifty or more. Who can walk up all the stairs(楼梯)?Maybe people can climb them once. Can someone climb thirty floors to an office every day? Can small children walk up to their rooms on the twenty-four floor? Can their mothers or fathers carry food up to all those stairs? Of course not. We can have very high buildings because we have lifts. We could not have all the beautiful tall buildings without lifts. Because it is too tired for people to climb the stairs every day.
