Researchers have found its all down to the hormone oxytocin (荷尔蒙催生素). Although known as the love hormone, it affects the sexes differently.Women tend to be socia

27、l in their behavior. They often share with others. But men tend to be competitive. They are trying to improve their social status, said Professor Ryan.Generally, people believe that the hormone oxytocin is let out in our body in various social situations and our body creates a large amount of it dur

28、ing positive social interactions such as falling in love or giving birth.But in a previous experiment Professor Ryan found that the hormone is also let out in our body during negative social interactions such as envy.Further researches showed that in men the hormone oxytocin improves the ability to

29、recognize competitive relationships, but in women it raises the ability to recognize friendship.Professor Ryans recent experiment used 62 men and women aged 20 to 37. Half of the participants received oxytocin. The other half received placebo (安慰剂).After a week, the two groups switched with particip

30、ants. They went through the same procedure with the other material.Following each treatment, they were shown some video pictures with different social interactions. Then they were asked to analyze the relationships by answering some questions. The questions were about telling friendship from competi

31、tion. And their answers should be based on gestures, body language and facial expressions.The results indicated that, after treatment with oxytocin, mens ability to correctly recognize competitive relationships improved, but in women it was the ability to correctly recognize friendship that got bett

32、er.Professor Ryan thus concluded: Our experiment proves that the hormone oxytocin can raise peoples abilities to better distinguish different social interactions. And the behavior differences between men and women are caused by biological factors (因素) that are mainly hormonal.12. What causes men and women to behave differently according to the text? A. Placebo. B. Oxytocin. C. The gesture. D. The social status.13.
