　　A quick look at the lengths of children’s index and ring fingers can be used to predict how well students will perform in education tests, new research claims.

　　Kids with longer ring fingers compared to index fingers are likely to have higher math scores than literacy or verbal scores in the entrance exam for primary school, while children with the reverse finger-length ratio are likely to have higher reading and writing, or verbal, scores versus(与......相对) math scores.

　　Scientists have known that different levels of the hormones testosterone(雄性激素)and estrogen (雌性激素) in the womb(子宫) account for the different finger lengths, which are a reflection of areas of the brain that are more highly developed than others, said psychologist Mark Brosnan of the University of Bath in Britain, who led the study.

　　Exposure to testosterone in the womb is said to promote development of areas of the brain often associated with spatial(空间的) and mathematical skills, he said. That hormone makes the ring finger longer. Estrogen exposure does the same for areas of the brain associated with verbal ability and tends to lengthen the index finger relative to the ring finger.

　　To test the link to children's scores on the Scholastic Assessment Test, Brosnan and his colleagues made photocopies of children's palms and measured the length of their index and ring fingers. They used the finger-length ratios as a proxy(参照指标) for the levels of testosterone and estrogen exposure.

　　The researchers then looked at boys' and girls' test performances separately and compared them to finger-length ratio measurements. They found a clear link between high prenatal testosterone exposure, indicated by the longer ring finger compared to the index finger, and higher scores on the math SAT.

　　Similarly, they found higher literacy SAT scores for the girls among those who had lower prenatal testosterone exposure, as indicated by a shorter ring finger compared with the index finger.

　　62.It’s likely that if a Chinese child with a longer index finger than his ring finger, he will probably get good marks in ______.

　　A. mathB. physicsC. chemistryD. Chinese

　　65.Which of the following statements is NOT correct in the passage?

　　A. A child with a longer index finger than his ring finger will fail in the math exam.

　　B. Girls with shorter ring fingers get higher literacy SAT scores.

　　C. Kids with longer ring fingers are likely to have higher math scores.

　　D. The length of the finger has something to do with hormones.
