Two people, Two Paths
You must be familiar with the situation: Dad&39;s driving, Mum&39;s telling him where to go. He&39;s sure that they need to turn left, but she says it&39;s not for another two blocks. Who has the better sense of direction? Men or women?
They both do, a new study says. But in different ways.
Men and women, Canadian researchers have found, have different methods of finding their way.
Men look quickly at landmarks (地标) and head offin what they think is the right direction.Women,however, try to picture the whole route in detail and then follow the path in their head.
"Women tend to be more detailed," said Edward Comell, who led the study. "While men tend to be a little bit faster and...a little bit more intuitive ( 直觉感知的 ) ." In fact, said Cornell, "sense of direction" isn&39;t one skill but two. "
The first is the"survey method". This is when you see an area from above, such as a printed map.You can see, for example, where the hospital is, where the church is and that the supermarket is on its right.
The second skill is the"route method". This is when you use a series of directions. You start from the hospital, then turn left, turn right, go uphill--and then you see the supermarket.
Men are more likely to use the survey method while women are more likely to use one route and follow directions.
Both work and neither is better. Some scientists insist that these different skills have a long history, they argue it is because of the difference in traditional roles.
In ancient times, young men often went far away with the older men to fish or hunt,The trip took hours or days and covered unfamiliar places. The only way to know where you were was to use the survey method to remember landmarks--the mountains, the lakes and so on.
The women, on the other hand, took young girls out to find fruits and plants. These activities were much closer to home but required learning well--used paths. So, women&39;s sense of space was based on learning certain routes.

请根据短文的内容,回答题。Washoe Learned American Sign Language(1) An animal that influenced scientific thought has died. A chimpanzee named Washoe and born in Africa died of natural causes late last month at the age of 42 at a research center in the American state of Washington. Washoe had become known in the scientific community and around the world for her ability to use American Sign Language. She was said to be the first non-human to learn a human language. Her skills also led to debate about primates and their ability to understand language.(2) Research scientists Allen and Beatrix Gardner began teaching Washoe sign language in1966. In 1969, the Gardners described Washoe&39;s progress in a scientific report. The people who experimented with Washoe said she grew to understand about 250 words. For example, Wasboe made signs to communicate when it was time to eat. She could request foods like apples and bananas. She also asked questions like, "Who is coming to play?"Once the news about Washoe spread, many language scientists began studies of their own into this new and exciting area of research. The whole direction of primate research changed.(3) However, critics argued Washoe only learned to repeat sign language movements from watching her teachers. They said she had never developed tree language skills. Even now there are some researchers who suggest that primates learn sign language only by memory, and perform. the signs only for prizes. Yet Washoe&39;s keepers disagree. Roger Fouts is a former student of the Gardners.He took Washoe to a research center in Ellensburg, Washington. There, Washoe taught sign language to three younger chimpanzees, which are still alive.(4) Scientists like private researcher Jane Goodall believe Washoe provided new information about the mental workings of chimpanzees. Today, there are not as many scientists studying language skills with chimps. Part of the reason is that this kind of research takes a very long time.(5) Debate continues about chimps&39; understanding of human communication. Yet, one thing is sure--Washoe changed popular ideas about the possibilities of animal intelligence.Paragraph 1__________ 查看材料
