Section C
Directions : Complete the following passage by using the sentences listed below. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. A. The evidence indicates that this hypothesis applies chiefly to males. B. These points of view are widely accepted by the U.S. lawmakers. C. Finally, the authors examined the possible causes for the sex difference in sports interest. D. For example, in every society, males participate in sports at least twice as much as females in terms of frequency of duration. E. These points challenge the bedrock assumptions of many scholars and policy makers. F. However, how can we address the issue from a broad, evolutionary perspective?
Sex difference in sports interest: What does evolution say?
Sports are enormously popular, and one striking pattern is that boys and men are typically much more involved than are girls and women. This sex difference has policy implications, and it raises fundamental questions about the mature of sex differences. A recent review article by Deaner, Balish, and Lombardo(2018), published in Evolutionary Behavioral Sciences, analyzes the relevant theoretical work.
First, the authors demonstrated that females? under-representation in sport—both as participants and spectators—generally reflects their lesser sports interest, not merely fewer opportunities for involvement. Moreover, this sex difference occurs in all societies described thus far, from hunters and gatherers to large contemporary societies. ______(67)____________.
Next, the authors explored adaptive, functional hypotheses(猜想)for sports. One hypothesis holds that individual compete in sports to gain status and that non-participants monitor sports performances so they can evaluate potential competitors and allies(同盟).______(68)_______. Another hypothesis is that sports serve as courtship displays that advertise participant quality to the opposite sex. This hypothesis effectively explain some aspects of female?s sports interest.
____(69)____. Although it is often assumed that socialization practices entirely cause this sex difference, the evidence that socialization plays a role remains doubtful. In particular, no systematic historical comparison has ever shown a decrease in the sex difference. Moreover, several studies indicate that inborn hormones contribute to males? greater sports interest.
The points from this review are that the sex difference in sports interest is widespread, partly due to evolutionary pressures that differentially affected males and females, and unlikely to be fully overturned by socialization. ______(70)______, Most notably, Title IX is a U.S. law that prohibits sexual discrimination in educational opportunities , including sports and Title IX is generally implemented under the assumption that females? sports interest is inherently equal to that of males. The present research indicates that this implementation may require revision.

Could goats become our new best friends?
In a new paper in the journal Biology letters, researchers from QMUL?s School of Biological and Chemical Sciences found that goats respond to people by gazing at them when facing a problem they cannot solve alone, and their responses change depending on the person?s behaviour.
To investigate, the team trained goats to remove a lid from a box to receive a reward. They made the reward inaccessible and recorded their reaction. In the test, the goats redirected their gaze frequently between the inaccessible reward and human experimenters. They also gazed towards a forward facing person earlier, more often and for longer compared to when the person was facing away.
The results provide strong evidence for complex communication between humans and goats, which were domesticated primarily for agricultural production, and show similarities with animals bred to become pets or working animals, such as dogs and horses.
The research indicates that the domestication of animals has a much broader impact on our knowledge about human-animal relationship than previously believed. For example, it?s thought that the capacity of dogs to be aware of information from humans is the result of changes to the brain from becoming a companion animal through domestication.
“Goats were the first livestock(家畜)species to be domesticated, about 10,000 years ago,” said lead author Dr Alan McElligott from the School?s Department of Biological and Experimental Psychology.
“From our research, we know that many domesticated animals, for agricultural production are smarter than their reputation suggests, and these results show how they can communicate and interact with their human handlers just as pets or working animals.”
The researchers hope the study will lead to a better understanding of how skilled livestock are in their ability to solve problems and interact with humans. They also wish that an improvement in animal welfare would be reached ultimately.
