Обильные снегопады и дожди могут быть следствием глобального потепления. Очень хорошо, может, снова увидим Калифорнию зелёной не только в феврале. А в Юте потепление запретили, и порекомендовали федеральному правительству не маяться дурью. |

Some of the key findings are that (as a group) women are superior to men on: (a) language tasks (such as the Verbal Fluency Task - eg: list as many words as you can, beginning with the letter ‘L’). Females also show a faster rate of language development, and a lower risk for specific language impairment. (b) tests of social judgement; (c) measures of empathy and cooperation ; (d) rapid identification of matching items ; (e) ideational fluency (eg: list as many things as you can that are the same colour; (f) fine-motor coordination (eg: placing pegs in pegboard holes; (g) mathematical calculation tests; (h) pretend play in childhood .
In contrast, men (as a group) are superior to women on: (i) mathematical reasoning, especially geometry and mathematical word problems... Benbow and Stanley for example reports that at high-level mathematics, the male-female ratio is 13:1; (ii) the Embedded Figures Task (ie: finding a part within a whole). (iii) the Mental Rotation Task (ie: imagining how an object will look when it is rotated, or how a sheet of paper will look when it is folded; (iv) some (but not all4) spatial skills - mostly Euclidean geometric navigation. Spatial superiority in males is even found in childhood. (v) target-directed motor skills, such as guiding or intercepting projectiles - irrespective of the amount of practice.
