I. Scientists have shown that girls are born much better talkers than boys. As early as two years old, girls are outstripping boys as conversationalists. Girls learn more quickly and for the first few years they have a considerably wider vocabulary. This could be, according to recent research, because there is a natural gift for speech in girls' genes.

II. In the study, parents were asked to note down which words from a list of 100 their children could use by the age of two. Boys used on average 44 of the words and girls used 52. But as children get older the gap grows smaller and in late childhood there is no statistically significant difference.

III. The findings have led scientists to question what the specific influences are on early language development. The answer it seems could be in the genes. The way genes work for language development is different in boys and girls. One theory is that language development is triggered by hormones, which are genetically programmed to boost speech in girls more than in boys. Previous research has already established that there is a strong link between levels of the female hormone oestrogen and fluency of speech. The next step is to collect DNA from people to isolate the genes responsible for speech development.

IV. Genetic difference between the sexes has its roots in the different roles that early men and women had, with men as the hunters and women as mothers and home keepers. Conversational skill, and particularly the need to communicate effectively with children, often while multitasking, was much more important for women than for men in these early times. Hence, those with innate conversational ability probably fared better and passed on the genes responsible to

their offspring.

V. As well as the genetic influence on language development, the way parents relate to their children is also thought to be a key factor. Young boys tend to be more action-oriented and less verbal while girls are generally more reflective and thoughtful. The language that children provoke in adults and therefore the language they are exposed to reflect these differences and consequently acts as a model for their own language development.

A41. The article mainly discusses

1) genetic differences in language development.

2) linguistic differences in genetic development.

3) specific differences in individual development.

A42. The results of the research prove that

1) boys' early language development goes more quickly.

2) girls' early language development goes more quickly.

3) boys and girls develop language at the same speed.

A43. The most probable reason for differences between boys and girls is that

1) speech development patterns vary.

2) conversational ability is found in girls only.

3) genetic mechanisms work differently.

A44.Different roles of early men and women can

1) serve as an example of contemporary communication patterns.

2) explain the difference in conversational ability levels.

3) reflect the inadequate level of conversational ability.

A45. It's also probable that another factor influencing language development is

1) the way children play games with each other.

2) the way children interact with their parents.

3) the way children behave when alone.
