28、 in the brain.The study, conducted by neuroscientists （神经学家）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, found that higher levels were found among humans that wer

29、e 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 language-associated protein in humans or animals,” sai

30、d 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 times they cried out in the “ultrasonic range”, the f

31、requencies 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 fussed over her sons first. Tests conducted on the parts of the brain known to be asso

32、ciated with vocalcalls 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 often and their mothers showing more interest to them. In

33、 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 in humans.“Based on our observations, we assume higher le

34、vels 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 of sex differences in vocal communication in mammals

38、ferences in Foxp2 protein D. Foxp2 protein determines oral abilityBFrom the outer of New York to the heart of Singapore, nature is everywhere you're not looking in some of Earth's most crowded big cities. Outdoor adventure is often just a few stops on the train - or a short drive-

39、away from the annoying crowds.  Here are a few favorites to get you going:Mount Hollywood Trail, Los Angeles    It's not a skyscraper or a Ferris wheel, and there's no expensive restaurant up top. But if you want an absolutely unforgettable, no-admissi

40、on-charged, 360-degree view of the entire Los Angeles region , it's yours. All you have to do is walk a little. One of the preferred exercise routes, the Mount Hollywood Trail, is easily accessed from the parking lot of the famous Griffith Observatory; you see what you get at the end of thi

41、s steep 1.5-mile trail, which winds its way through the Griffith Park wilds up to the mountain's 1,640-foot peak.Bronx River, New York It may not be on your Top 10 list of things to do when you finally get to the Big Apple, but exploring the almost-secret river that flows through one of New

42、 York's most mysterious boroughs (自治市 is an unforgettable experience. The Bronx River Alliance, a non-profit group that has worked tirelessly to bring the much-abused river back to life , operates cycling and canoeing trips along the river, from the rugged Hunts Point section down near

43、 the harbor on up through the borough. Southern Islands, Singapore   Believe it or not, tightly packed Singapore does have plenty of open space left . There are actual trails right in the middle of everything, if you know where to look . But to really get away from it all, the Souther

44、n Islands, a small group of little green dots just off the city-state's southern shoreline, are just the thing. Lee Valley, London This East London river valley changed last summer, when anyone near a television got an eyeful of Olympic Park, built directly in the middle of the valley. Insi

49、lth centers based in southern India, offers low-cost, high-quality specialty care in a largely poor country of 1.2 billion people. By thinking differently about everything from the unusually high number of patients it treats to the millions for whom it provides insurance, the hospital group is able

50、to continually reduce costs. Narayana Hrudayalayas operations include the worlds largest and most productive cardiac (心脏病的 hospital, where the average open-heart surgery runs less than $2,000, a third or less what it costs elsewhere in India.Narayana Hrudayalayas origins date back to 2001, when it b

51、uilt its massive cardiac center on the outskirts （市郊）of Bangalore. But it has expanded since then into what founder Dr. Devi Shetty calls a "health city," a series of centers specializing in eye, trauma, and cancer care. Narayana Hrudayalaya now manages or owns hospitals in 14 other Indian

52、 cities. Expanding access is paired with a ongoing focus on efficiency. Typically, says Shetty, private hospitals in India focus on patients who can easily afford treatment. "We did it the other way around," he says. "This hospital is for poor people, but we also treat some rich peopl

53、e. We dont look at people who are sgabbily dressed and have trouble paying as outsiders. " Narayana Hrudayalayas flagship hospital has 3,000 beds and negotiates for better prices and buys directly from manufacturers, cutting out distributors. In addition to cost-cutting, Narayana Hrudayalaya fi

Patients who pay discounted rates are in effect compensated by those who pay full p

55、rice Doing something-doing more, actually-is the point. By 2017, Shetty, 58, plans to expand from 5,000 beds throughout India to 30,000. Before becoming one of Indias best-known health-care entrepreneurs, Shetty was its best-known heart surgeon. He was interrupted in surgery one day during the 1990s

56、 by a request to make a house call. "I said, 'I dont make home visits,'" Shetty says, "and the caller said, 'If you see this patient, the experience may transform your life.'" The request was from Mother Teresa. Inspired by the her work with the poor, he then set

57、out to create a hospital to deliver care based on need, not wealth. "One lesson she taught me," he says, quoting a saying he keeps framed in his office, "is 'Hands that sew are holier than lips that pray.'"63. Narayana Hrudayalayastarted a micro-insurance to _.A. cut down

58、 on the cost of the treatment B. get the support of the governmentC. make the company run smoothly D. attract more people to its hospital64. We can infer from the passage that _.A. the cost of medicine care in India is very lowB. Shetty wouldnt have succeeded without Mother TeresaC. Shetty and his c

59、olleagues are likely to make home visits nowD. Shetty has expanded his hospitals to most of other cities in India65. Why did Shetty build the massive cardiac center in 2001?A.
