The medical center at New York University is one of the clinical sites for the study.
Thirty-nine-year-old Denise Harris is helping researchers gain a better understanding of the brain. She suffers from epilepsy, and doctors are monitoring her seizures in the hope of performing an operation to minimize them. Her head is 1) ____________. Wires protruding from the side are attached to electrodes implanted in her brain. Harris says doctors are monitoring her to see whether she is a good candidate for surgery.
\"I've been on many medications throughout my life and after a while, they don't work,\" said Denise Harris. \"I still get seizures. So now, when they remove the part that the seizure is 2) ____________ from, it's supposed to stop.\"
But while Harris is in the hospital, she is also helping scientists understand how the brain comprehends and uses language. For the study,
researchers are monitoring the implanted 3) ____________ on a part of the frontal lobe called Broca's area, named after 19th century French physician Pierre Paul Broca. He was the first doctor to recognize the major role of that area in language.
Through the implant process, called Intra-cranial Electrophysiology, or ICE, the researchers have found that Broca's area processes three different language functions in 4) ____________ –– within a quarter of a second. It is the first time the technique has been used to document how the brain processes grammar and produces words.
Eric Halgren of the University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine, is one of the 5) ____________ investigators of the study.
\"What we were able to find was that within a centimeter, around less than an inch, certainly, and probably half an inch, there were different regions - perhaps they 6) ____________ some –– but they were doing, at different times, different processes, all within this small area.\"
The first function deals with recognizing a word, the second with understanding the word's context in a sentence, and the third lets us 7) ____________ the word by speaking.
Harvard University brain expert Steven Pinker is another of the study's authors. Ned Sahin, a 8) ____________ fellow at Harvard and the University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine was the first author of the paper outlining the work, which was published in the journal
Science.
According to Sahin, 9)___________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________.
\"Nearly every introductory textbook as well as people practicing in the field in speech pathology, for instance, teach and believe that 10) ______________________
____________________________________________________________________ _______________ –– Broca's area and Wernicke's area, where Broca's area is responsible for producing, for speaking, and Wernicke's for comprehending,\" said Sahin.
This study shows that Broca's area is involved in both speaking and comprehension, illustrating that parts of the brain perform more than one task.
\"Here's an example of one relatively small part of the brain that's doing three very different things at three different times, but all within the space of a quarter of a second.\"
But Eric Halgren points out that despite our growing knowledge, much about the human brain remains unknown.
\"How does this hunk of flesh, which is not much different from a muscle –– it's just a bowl of porridge –– how does it produce the mind? It's a total mystery\".

But the government's top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, said the goal is to perfect new ways to make a vaccine. \"What we really want to do is get away from that and get it to be 21st century technology - molecular biology, recombinant DNA technology, where you have very good control over the process. It's rapid, it's consistent, and it proves

A name might tell you something about a person's background. Names can be
1) __________ of class and race. Data show African Americans are far more likely than other 2) __________ groups to give their children uncommon names. White people tend to 3) ________ more familiar names that were formerly popular with more affluent white people.
The new study purports to show a link between name and outcome of life: The more 4) _________ your name, the more likely you are to land in juvenile hall. That's because we know that boys with uncommon names are more likely to come from a socio-economically 5) _________ background, which means that they also are more likely to get involved with crime. Even the researchers readily admit that it's not a name alone that 6）_______ a child's outcome, but rather the circumstance underlying the name. The researchers first assigned a popularity score to boys' names, based on how often they showed up in birth records in an undisclosed state from 1987 to 1991. Michael, the No. 1 boy's name, had a Popular Name Index score of 100; names such as Malcolm and Preston had index scores of 1. The researchers then assessed names of young men born during that time who landed in the juvenile justice system. They found that only half had a rating higher than 11. By 7) __________, in the general population, half of the names scored higher than 20. \"A 10% increase in the popularity of a name is associated with a % 8) _________ in the number of juvenile delinquents who have that name.\"
Still, the study theorizes that teenagers named Malcolm might also 9) ___________ because their peers treat them differently or they just don't like their names. And since the study's release last week, the name-crime 10) ___________ has been written or talked about in major media outlets.

Who are smarter, men or women? It's a topic of common –– and often comic –– contemplation, but it has also become a serious policy issue for colleges and students in the United States.
After years of concentrated effort to raise the academic achievement of girls, who in previous decades had often received less attention in the classroom and been steered away from college-prep courses, the nation can brag that female students have progressed tremendously. Though still underrepresented in calculus and other advanced-level science and math
courses in high school, women now outnumber men applying to and graduating from college –– so much so that it appears some colleges are giving male applicants an admissions boost. As a result, the . Commission on Civil Rights is examining whether colleges are engaging in widespread discrimination against women in an effort to balance their male and female populations.
Consider some of the numbers at leading schools: At in New York State, a formerly all-women's college that is still 60% female, more than two-thirds of the applicants last year were women. The college accepted 35% of the men who applied, compared with 20% of the women. Locally, elite Pomona College accepted 21% of male applicants for this year's freshman class, but only 13% of female applicants. At Virginia's College of William & Mary, 7,652 women applied for this year's freshman class, compared with 4,457 male applicants. Yet the numbers of each who gained admittance were nearly the same. That's because the college accepted .
A 2007 analysis by . News & World Report, based on the data sent by colleges for the magazine's annual rankings, found that the admissions rate for women averaged 13 percentage points lower than that for men. But percentages don't tell the whole story. It could be that the men were stronger candidates, or they might have applied in areas of engineering and science where women's numbers are still lower. But such justifications, even if true, are unlikely to fully explain these numbers. At schools such as the University of California, where admissions rely overwhelmingly on statistical measures of academic achievement such as grades and test scores, the disparities don't appear. Far more women than men applied to UCLA –– the UC's most selective campus –– last year. The university accepted about the same percentage of each, with a slight edge to the women. As a result, the freshman class has close to 800 more women than men.
In recent years, several college leaders have admitted that their
institutions give a boost to male applicants to maintain gender balance on campus. Most students of either sex, they point out, prefer such balance. If Vassar accepted equal percentages of each sex, women would outnumber men by more than 2 to 1.
Jennifer Delahunty Britz, the dean of admissions at Kenyon College in Ohio, a formerly all-male school, brought the matter to in 2006 with an Op-Ed article for the New York Times describing the dilemma of her admissions office. \"What messages are we sending young women that they must . . . be even more accomplished than men to gain admission to the nation's top colleges?\" New York Times has long favored allowing colleges to use race as an admissions factor in order to diversify student populations.
She also wrote that exposure to people of different backgrounds and viewpoints better educates all students –– not just those given a leg up. We are not in favor of accepting underqualified or clearly inferior students for the sake of diversity. But most colleges are inundated with applications from students who more than meet their standards; the differences among many of them are slight. It makes sense for colleges to pick a balanced population from within this group. At the same time, admissions officers should avoid rigid notions of what constitutes enough men on campus. It's not harming UCLA, or destroying college social life, to admit somewhat more women than men.
Even if the Civil Rights Commission finds pervasive gender discrimination in admissions, there's little it could do about the situation. Such discrimination –– though not racial discrimination –– is legal for undergraduate admissions at private, nonprofit colleges, even those that receive federal funding. Commission documents on the inquiry suggest that colleges could find more \"gender-neutral\" ways of balancing their student numbers, perhaps by offering programs and
extracurricular activities that attract men.
Those might work for some schools but won't change the overall scenario. Not with college populations composed of nationwide. The issue we'd like the Commission on Civil Rights to investigate is: What's happening with the education of U.S. boys? Why are so few of them applying to and graduating from college?
Theories and arguments abound. Some say that boys are more active and thus less able to sit still for long periods –– and as a result, more likely to be categorized as having attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder or needing special education. A by researchers at Northwestern University found that when girls are involved in a language-related task –– such as reading –– they show more activity in areas of the brain involved in encoding language. Boys use more sensory information to do linguistic tasks. The study suggests boys might do better if they were taught language and arts in different ways. Race is a factor as well. The gender gap is starker among African American and Latino students.
There may be no one reason –– or solution. But figuring out ways to help boys achieve in school is a better response to the gender gap than making it easier for them to get into college later.
1. As a result of the effort to raise the academic achievement of the girls for years, the girls have exceeded boys tremendously in all courses in colleges except calculus and other advanced-level science and math courses.
2. Female students are facing the low admission rate because some colleges are engaging in discrimination against women to achieve the balance of their male and female populations.
3. Although the men were traditionally considered stronger candidates in areas of engineering and science, the admission rate for men in these areas is still lower than that for women.
4. Women have outnumbered men in gaining admittance in UCLA’s freshman class this year because their admissions greatly rely on grades and test scores of their applicants.
5. Some college leaders hold that most college students prefer their policy of maintaining gender balance by admitting equal percentages of each sex.
6. The dilemma of the dean of admissions at Kenyon College is whether to use gender as an admissions factor in order to achieve gender balance or use race as an admissions factor in order to diversify student populations.
7. According to Jennifer Delahunty Britz, it is reasonable for colleges to pick a balanced population from the candidates who more than meet their standards.
8. Actually the Civil Rights Commission can do little to change the situation of discrimination in college admission because such discrimination
is
____________________________________________________________________.
9. The study shows that in doing linguistic tasks the boys use more sensory information,
the
girls
show

10. Despite various theories and arguments about why so few boys apply to and graduate from college, the better solution to the problem is to ____________________________________________________________________.
