Daming: What was the most dangerous thing that ever happened in your work?

Tony: Going into the desert (沙漠) without careful prepararion is very dangerous. For example, if you don’t take enough water, it means death. Getting lost is another danger. We also have to be careful with snakes.

Daming: Where do you work?

Tony: I always find myself in desert areas, but they can look very different. We get to a place by car and then we walk, walk, walk. You can’t see anything if you don’t walk. I usually avoid going to big dune (沙丘) areas by myself. I make sure we have several cars and plenty of gas and water.

Daming: What is a working day like you?

Tony: On a working day, we get up early, get all the things together, readying the cars, and checking everything. Sometimes we drive a long way, forget something necessary, like water, and have to go back. We eat a pack lunch in the field and then work until 4 or 5 p.m. in the Middle East, we often work during the winter. After supper we wash, write about our work that day, then take a break and go to bed early.

Daming: What is the hardest part of your work?

Tony: The hardest part of work is being lonely. The days are long, and I miss my family and my friends. I’m a sports fan. I like to play basketball and tennis and watch all sorts of sports on television, so I miss that very much when I’m in the field.

A man enters a store to buy milk. He walks out of the store with milk. That is all milk. At the same time, a woman enters the same grocery store (雜貨店) also to buy milk. She buys it. But, she also buys chicken and lemons to make dinner that night. Then she remembers to buy food for her son to eat at school. She also gets a bottle of wine for drinks with friends and a birthday card for her husband's niece. Then she gets coffee for breakfast, ice cream for dessert and remembers stamps to mail the bills. And don't forget soap for the bathroom.

And that is the difference between the female and male brains simply explained in a grocery store. Generally speaking ， men do one thing at a time. Women do many. Doing many things at one time is often called “multi-tasking”, a very popular word these days.

Now some studies support this theory ( 理 論 ) about male and female brains. A recent study has shown what we have known all along---men and women think differently.

Scientist at the university of Pennsylvania studied brain images of 949 people aged from 8 to 22 years old. They found that male brains have more connections on one side of the brain, or hemisphere (大腦半球). In female brain, they found more activity and connections between the right and left sides of the brain. The left side of the brain is known as the side of “reason” The right hemisphere is known as the “creative” side.

Regina Verma is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. She co-wrote the report. She says when women are asked to do something difficult they might use different parts of the brain. Men, she adds, generally use just one side of the brain.

1.Generally speaking, men do one thing at a time while women do many.

2.Scientists have found that men and women think in the same way.

3.Develop the left side of your brain if you want to be more creative.

4.Men use both sides of the brain when doing something difficult.

5.The passage that we read above is a science report.
