Everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older, but men's minds decline more than women's, according to the results of a worldwide survey.
Certain differences seem to be inherent in male and female brains: Men are better at maintaining and dealing with mental images (useful in mathematical reasoning and spatial skills ) , while women tend to excel (擅长) at recalling information from their brain's files (helpful with language skills and remembering the locations of objects).
Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline ( 衰退) people experience as they age, but the results have been mixed
Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women, while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline．Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people, and women live longer than men: The men tested are the survivors, "so they're the ones that may not have shown such cognitive decline," said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in England
People surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills: matching an object to its rotated form, matching lines shown from the same angle, typing as many words in a particular category (范畴) as possible in the given time, e.g．"object usually colored gray", and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing．The first two were tasks at which men usually excel; the latter were typically dominated by women.
Within each age group studied, men and women performed better in their separate categories on average．And though performance declined with age for both genders, women showed obviously less decline than men overall.
The author aims to tell us that__________ .
- A.women's minds perform better than men's
- B.men's minds decline more with age
- C.everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older
- D.a survey on human's mind decline was done recently

成长也会有烦恼
小时候，我们对父母依赖、崇拜。进入青春期后，我们有了自己的思想，开始独立行事，渴望从家长那里拿到“解放证书”，渴望父母像对待大人那样对待我们，甚至挑战父母的权威。而在父母的眼里，我们总是长不大的孩子，没有生活经验，没有丰富的阅历，却有自己的主意。父母责怪我们越来越不服管教，越来越不懂事，而怀念我们小时的乖样子。他们对我们的关爱之心没有变，只是要求更加严格，免不了多叮嘱几句，在我们听不进时，就觉得家长唠叨、啰嗦。于是，我们与父母之间就产生了矛盾。
○比较我们与父母的差异，探讨造成两代人隔阂的原因。
我们与父母的人生经历，生活经验、社会地位不同，对社会规范的理解程度也不同，在生活态度、价值观念、兴趣爱好、行为方式等方面难免产生较大差异。
望子成龙，是天下父母共同的心愿。我们与父母的冲突，往往基于父母对我们的高期待、严要求。这种在我们看来有些苛刻的“严”反映出父母对于我们的爱。我们要理解、体谅父母的一片苦心。

材料一：走和平发展道路是中国政府和中国人民继承中华文化的优秀传统，根据时代发展潮流和中国根本利益作出的战略抉择。中国人民历来崇尚“和而不同”“以和为贵”的理念，以此作为处理国与国关系的重要价值观。中华民族以“海纳百川，有容乃大”的胸怀，接受一切有益的外来文化．留下了不少对外文化交流的千古佳话。中国人民崇尚“己所不欲，勿施于人”，不将自己的意志强加于人。对外待之以礼，实行睦近交远。
材料二：历经谣言，真理才更显珍贵。网络时代的谣言如同超级病毒，传播速度之快，令人愕然；社会危害之大，让人心惊，让人们得到深刻的教训。不信谣、不传谣，携手营造一个清新、健康、向上的互联网共有家园是当代青年应有的文化担当。
(1)根据材料一，从文化生活角度说明我国是如何促进人类文明繁荣进步的?
