Baby boys do not seems to notice the difference in the size of the ball ，but girls immediately become excited and begin to make noises that sound like language.
It's also known that baby girls usually talk at an earlier age than baby boys do.Scientists believe that the left side of the brain develops faster in girls than in boys.As a result ，by the time they start to school ，little girls have an advantage that boys don't have，but what have the boys been doing in the year before starting school？They have been developing something called aggression.An aggressive person feels strong and independent （獨(dú)立的）.He is often the first one to start a fight.It is said that aggression is caused by hormones（荷爾蒙）.Scientists believe that hormones are not the only cause.They say aggression in boys is also caused by mothers.
