填空题 .Research by U. S. and Canadian scientists suggest that the brains of men and women differ structurally in ways that may explain differences in mental ability. Men's brains are larger than women's,     1    (principal) because men are larger in all respects. But the isthmus of the corpus callosum,     2    links the right and left halves of the brain, is generally larger in women than in men, according to a number of different studies     3    (report) to the New York Academy of Sciences.
   
    Since these fibres represent the main highway within the brain, the researchers believe it may explain why, on     4    , women have a superior ability with words to men and why girls are less often dyslexic than boys. Some researchers believe the physical difference may also explain why men are generally better at tasks inv    5    spatial relationships, such as engineering and reading maps. Speculating even further, the sexing of brains (an infant science) may account for the fact that there have been more women poets and     6    (novel) than female painters and sculptors.
    Such research has been discouraged by feminists for a long time. They fear that it might be used to justify male- female differences which they mai    7    are result of unfair social attitudes and conditioning. Scientists admit that the physical differences between male and female brains may have a less important effect     8    education and experience.
