A new report suggests that our brain chemistry at birth is as important as our upbringing.
Go into a busy newsagents and have a look at what kind of things people are reading. The chances are [1] _______ the women are reading about fashion, beauty, romance or relationships and the men are reading about cars, photography, equipment [2] _______ sport. This ought not to be a surprise. After all, these choices are also seen in typical male and [3] _______ hobbies - men generally enjoy things such as looking after their cars, buying new parts for their stereos, bird-watching [4] _______ playing computer games while women seem to prefer keeping in touch with friends and entertaining. For a long [5] _______, experts thought that these differences between male and female interests depended on how parents brought up their children and [6] _______ society in general. However, when we look at young babies, we see that boys and girls have interests which [7] _______ can call typically male´ or female´ from a very early age. A baby girl, as young as 12 months [8] _______, is sympathetic when she sees a sad or worried face - she also looks sad and makes comforting sounds. [9] _______ girls also make more eye contact and look longer at other people. Boys of the same age look longer [10] _______ mechanical objects - toys that spin, light up or move. Later, when they become toddlers, boys usually enjoy putting [11] _______ together and building towns or bridges or vehicles. Boys are often more selfish and aggressive when they play with [12] _______ children while girls are better at joining in with others. Just like the adults. So where do these [13] _______ between male and female behaviour come from? Although it is true that culture and upbringing play an important role, [14] _______ scientists now believe that the answer also lies in the amount of male and female hormones in the mother´s [15] _______ before a child´s birth. Research has shown that this balance of hormones leads to three different types of brain: [16] _______ E, type S and type B. People who are born with a type S or male brain are generally [17] _______ in systems: constructing and organising things and working out how things work. They tend to be good at working [18] _______ where they are, from maps, making things from plans or collecting things. Others have a type E; or female [19] _______ which means they are good at understanding other people´s emotions and treating people with care because they are sensitive [20] _______. Others are born with characteristics of both these male and female brains - this is called the type B [21] _______ balanced brain. Perhaps the most crucial thing that the researchers found out was that the type of brain [22] _______ have does not have to depend on your sex. Not all men have the male brain, and not all [23] _______ have the female brain. But on average, more males than females have a type S brain, and more females [24] _______ males have a type E brain. So does this mean that one sort of brain is superior? No, [25] _______ at all. Some people find some things easier to do than others but both sexes have their strengths and [26] _______ weaknesses. Researchers hope that understanding how people are born with different types of brain can help make all of [27] _______ more tolerant of difference.
