Boys, for example, generally are better than gifts at mathematical ideas involving objects and their relationships. Boys are also generally better than girls at the kind of hand and eye movements necessary for bail sports. Girls, on the other hand, generally start speaking earlier than boys. And they generally see better in the dark than boys and are better at learning foreign languages.
What makes men and women better at one thing or another? The answer is the brain. The brain has two sides connected by nerve tracks. The left side is generally used for mathematics, speech and reading. The right side is used for artistic creation and the expression of emotions. In men and women, different areas in each side of the brain develop differently. In boys, for example, it's the area used for mathematics. In girls, it is the area used for language skills. Another interesting difference is that the two sides of a man's brain are connected by a smaller number of nerves than the two sides of a woman's brain are. So the flow of information between the halves of a man's brain is more restricted than that between the halves of a woman's brain. Some scientists say this influences some of our abilities.
According to the speaker, what is one of the advantages of girls?
A.They have better ideas about objects and their relationships.
B.They have more flexible hands and eyes.
C.They can see better than boys at night.
D.They can express their emotions better than boys.

W: Well, I've been really worried. It's my car. It's in the shop again.
M: Really? What's wrong this time?
W: I don't know exactly. Something's wrong with the brakes, I think.
M: Well, at least that shouldn't cost you much to fix. Parts are cheaper for all the American cars like yours. Did the mechanic say how much it would cost?
W: He said he would call me with an estimate later on today.
M: Watch out he doesn't try to take advantage of you.
W: What do you mean?
M: Well, some car mechanics, if they think that someone doesn't know much about ears, they might try to overcharge that person.
W: Maybe so. But I trust this guy. He Was recommended by one of my neighbors. He has done some work for me in the past and his prices seemed to be reasonable.
M: Oh, that's good to know. Maybe I'll try using him in the future, By the way, do you need aride home after work today?
