There are only two animals that have larger brains than man, the whale and the elephant. Yet, in proportion to his size, man's brain is larger. (19[C])Man's usually weighs about three pounds or a little more, and this is about one-fortieth of the weight of his whole body. The whale's body, on the other hand, is a thousand times heavier than its brain, while the elephant's body is about five hundred times as heavy.
But a man who has a large brain is not necessarily more intelligent than one whose brain is smaller. We know that geniuses have existed who have had very large brains, but there have been others whose brains were rather small. Idiots have been known to have very large brains.
(20[D])We do not understand precisely why some people are more intelligent than others. Whether our brains are relatively large or small is less important than that we try to do our very best.
This article is mainly about ______.

SECTION A CONVERSATIONS
Directions: In this section you will hear several conversations. Listen to the conversations carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文：Man: Oh, hello, Lee Dong. Come on in, and how have you been keeping recently？
Woman: Quire all right, thanks, Dr. Francis. How is your project going？
M: Very smoothly, I should say. (1[C])I'm playing a consultancy role, really. I have only been here a month, but I'm already on very good terms with my colleagues in the Department of Computer Science. Well, I'm happy that you could come. Do sit down, please.
W: Dr. Francis, do you know I've got a chance to go to Cambridge in August？ I wonder if you could tell me something about Britain.
M: Certainly .Well, I was actually brought up in Scotland. Erm, in fact, I've never been to Cambridge. But well... yes, I'm sure I can give you some useful tips. Now, what do you want to know, Lee Dong？
M: Things like weather. What's the usual temperature there？
W: Mmm, the temperature in Scotland is 22, or 23 degrees Centigrade on average, I think. (2[C])But Cambridge would be warmer, around 25, I would guess, because it's down south.
M: Oh, that's nice. Do you know it is 34 here？ Last year it reached 39. By the way, where do you think I should stay？
W: Oh, that's important .You can, er ... I suppose, stay in the college-owned flats, which are often near where you have your classes, and some are even on the campus. That would certainly be convenient.
M: Yes, it would.
W: But it can also be a disadvantage because you are, in a sense, separate from ordinary society. You are a language teacher, and I think learning from society is a valuable experience.
M: Yes, yes, exactly, so what's the alternative？
W: (3[B])Maybe finding an English family. I know of a student Ali from the Middle East .He told me that he had learned a lot by staying with a British family.
M: Thank you, I think it's quite a good suggestion. By the way, Dr. Francis, do you think I could ...？
