In this question, you will read a short passage on an academic subject, and then listen to a talk on the same topic. Then you will answer a question using information from both the reading and the talk. After the question, you will have 30 seconds to prepare your response and 60 seconds to speak.

Now read the passage about ways of establishing animal intelligence. You have 45 seconds to read the passage. Begin reading now.

Animal Intelligence

A traditional method for determining an animal's intelligence was related to the ratio of brain to body mass. However, this method was inconsistent. Most humming birds have a higher ratio than humans, although they are clearly less intelligent. Current attempts to quantify an animal's intelligence focus on observations of social behavior. and problem-solving skills. Species with well-developed social lives, which usually require advanced forms of communication, are considered more intelligent. However, communication is not the only factor to consider. Another area that is given a lot of importance in these investigations is the level and style. of play employed by younger members of the species. The more elaborate the play, the higher the level of intelligence assumed. Another indicator of intelligence is the use of tools. This shows an increased awareness of an animal's immediate environment and an understanding of cause and effect, which is based on the ability to predict future results.

When Amber Post started graduate school in physics at Princeton, her goal was the same as her male colleagues': a teaching post at a major university. Now with her Ph. D. just a year away, Post is thinking instead about working for a policymaking agency in Washington. Although Princeton , with Shirley Tilghman as the president, is welcoming to female scientists, Post senses that her reception in the larger academic world might be chillier. At famous universities, the percentage of women earning doctor's degrees in science and engineering is considerably higher than the percentage of women professors—which means that a lot of talented women Ph. D. s like Post leave campus for jobs in government or industry instead of climbing the teaching ladder.

Stopping this female brain drain has been a challenge for years. At a recent academic conference, Harvard president Lawrence Summers suggested that women aren't succeeding because they lack ability in math and science by nature. His comments drew immediate criticism. Indeed, scien-tists have uncovered some differences in male and female brains, but it's unclear how these differences affect talent.

Summers proposed two other possible problems for women: the conflict between work and life, and absolute prejudice against women (which he seemed to dismiss). Many women scientists blame these two problems for the lack of women professors. Junior teachers need to spend their 20s and 30s on research and publication. Those are the same years when women have children. Time is an enemy for women in other professions, especially law and medicine. But while women doctors and lawyers benefit from lots of successful role models, academic science continues to belong to men chiefly. "The atmosphere isn't compelling or welcoming, "Post says. "Too many of my female friends drop out of graduate programs simply because the environment is disappointing, not because they can't handle the math. "

Even against this background, there has been some progress. More universities are pushing hard with stepped-up recruitment efforts and trying hard to assist staff members with young families. But ultimately, the best remedy against prejudice would be more women on top, like Princeton's Tilghman.

Amber Post is thinking about a job in government because________.

A．it is the usual goal of the Ph. D. students at Princeton

B．she is doubtful about her future in the academic world

C．it is difficult to get a teaching post at major universities

D．she fears that she may not graduate with a Ph. D. degree
