问题     Read the texts from an article, For five questions, match each rule (1 to 5) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answer on your ANSWER SHEET.
   As any woman can prove, there are some things at which her gender naturally excels. In the past decade, academic research has offered insight into the feminine advantage:
Part Ⅰ
   Verbal superiority may continue from childhood to adulthood. Studies show that women excel at certain verbal-fluency tests, such as listing multiple words that begin with the same letter. Some researchers have also found that women are more adept at learning foreign languages than men are.
Part Ⅱ
   According to psychologist Doreen Kimura of the University of Western Ontario, women outperform men on "precision manual tasks." In studies involving quick, accurate, small movements, and a pegboard test (in which subjects place small pegs into holes as quickly as they can), women outdo men.
Part Ⅲ
   In one study of 1955, Richard L. Doty, in the University of Pennsylvania Smell and Taste Center, asked randomly selected sniffers to identify scents. He found that, on average, women outperformed men. Women also have lower odor "thresholds", meaning they can detect fainter odors than men can.
   Women do better than men on hearing tests, too. And their hearing deteriorates less rapidly than men’s over time, according to Mary Anne Baker, a psychology professor at Indiana University Southeast.
Part Ⅳ
   Women interrupt less, are more likely to be complimentary, and laugh at other people’s jokes more. And women even disagree agreeably, as in "That’s a good point, but —"
   In numerous studies, women also read nonverbal cues—facial expressions, body movements, and changes in tone of voice—more accurately than men do, according to Hall. Women’s faces are generally more expressive than men’s, too, says Hall.
Part Ⅴ
   As more women rise to upper management, researchers have examined differences in how men and women lead. Women tend to share power, encourage participation, and boost their employees’ sense of self-worth. Many of the women believe subordinates perform best when they feel good about themselves, and women tend to foster that feeling. Insignificant contrast, their male counterparts exercise more formal authority and care more about hierarchy, Rosenerfound.
   Now match each of the schools to the appropriate statement.
   Note: there are two extra statements.
[A] Born to lead.
[B] Super Senses.
[C] Handy Women.
[D] Social Communication.
[E] Attentive Character.
[F] Habit of thrift.
[G] The Language Gap.
