I lay on our living room floor excitedly watching the battle between the Brains: American Brain Boitano facing Brian Orser in
16、 Canada. Both of them had been world champions. Both of them deserved to win. As a Northern Californian, I was for my fellow countryman. He also grew up in Northern California. Wed skated on the same ice. Brain performed successfully. The champion! I jumped in the air when his score went up.But what
17、 happened next is what Ill never forget. Brain sat in front of the camera, surrounded by a group of journalists. Brain was talking about his career and his medal, talking to the whole world. A terrible sinking feeling went through me. I could never be in the Olympics,I thought. I loved skating becau
18、se I could express myself with my jumps and dances better than words.What if journalists asked me questions like they asked Brain? Id freeze up like the ice beneath my skates! And yet, there was so much I would love to say, about my family and all the support theyd given me and about following my dr

After journalists talked to me and although my heart pounded every time I spoke to them, I got to know them. And they got to know me. Slowly I learned that the best approach was simply to be myself

23、 the Olympic final. C. Make friends with reporters. D. Talk to the press afterwards.CScientists have been interested for years in the observation that ratios(比率)of finger lengths differ in men and women. In men, the ring (fourth) finger is usually longer than the index (second); their socalled 2D4D
24、ratio is lower than 1. In females, the two fingers are more likely to be the same length. Because of this sex differences, some scientists believe that a low ratio could be a marker for higher prenatal hormone(产前激素) levels, although its not clear how the hormone might influence finger development. T
25、he 2D4D ratio has also been fingered in connection with brainrelated characteristicsmost often in malessuch as depression, lefthandedness, musical ability, and homosexuality.In the latest such study, psychologist Mark Brosnan and colleagues at the University of Bath in the United Kingdom photocopied

And the timing of hormone surges is as important as levels.Nevertheless, Brosnan believes finger measurements might be useful for predicting cognitive abilitiesalthough he ackno
