Passage 2
Scientists have been surprised at how deeply culture--the language we speak,the values we absorb--shapes the brain, and are rethinking findingsderived from studies of Westerners. To take one recent example, a regionbehind the forehead called the medial prefrontal cortexsupposedly represents the self: it is active when we ( \"we\"being the Americans in the study) think of our own identity and traits.But with Chinese volunteers, the results were strikingly different. The\"me\"circuit hummed not only when they thought whether a particularadjective described themselves, but also when they considered whether itdescribed their mother. The Westerners showed no such overlap between selfand mom. Depending whether one lives in a culture that views the selfas autonomous and unique or as connected to and part of a larger whole, thisneural circuit takes on quite different functions.
\"Cultural neuroscience,\" as this new field is called, is aboutdiscovering such differences. Some of the findings, as with the\"me/mom\" circuit, buttress longstanding notions of culturaldifferences.
For instance, it is a cultural cliche that Westerners focus on individualobjects while East Asians pay attention to context and background (anothermanifestation of the individualism-collectivism split).
Sure enough, when shown complex, busy scenes, Asian-Americans andnon-Asian-Americans recruited different brain regions. The Asians showedmore activity in areas that process figure-ground relations--holisticcontext--while the Americans showed more activity in regionsthat recognize objects.
Psychologist Nalini Ambady of Tufts found something similar when she andcolleagues showed drawings of people in a submissive pose (head down,shoulders hunched) or a dominant one (arms crossed, face forward) toJapanese and Americans. The brain′s dopamine-fueled reward circuit becamemost active at the sight of the stance--dominant for Americans, submissive forJapanese--that each volunteer′s culture most values, they reported in 2009.This raises an obvious chicken-and-egg question, but the smart money is onculture shaping the brain, not vice versa.
Cultural neuroscience wouldn′t be making waves if it found neurobiologicalbases only for well-known cultural differences. It is also uncovering theunexpected. For instance, a 2006 study found that native Chinese speakersuse a different region of the brain to do simple arithmetic (3 + 4)or decidewhich number is larger than native English speakers do, even though both useArabic numerals. The Chinese use the circuits that process visual andspatial information and plan movements (the latter may be related to theuse of the abacus). But English speakers use language circuits. It is asif the West conceives numbers as just words, but the East imbues themwith symbolic, spatial freight. (Insert cliche about Asian math geniuses.)\"One would think that neural processes involving basic mathematicalcomputations are universal,\" says Ambady, but they \"seem to beculture-specific.\"
Not to be the skunk at this party, but I think it′ s important to ask whetherneuroscience reveals anything more than we already know from, say,anthropology. For instance, it′s well known that East Asian cultures prizethe collective over the individual, and that Americans do the opposite.
Does identifying brain correlates of those values offer any extra insight?After all, it′s not as if anyone thought those values are the result ofsomething in the liver.
Ambady thinks cultural neuro-science does advance understanding. Take theme/mom finding,which, she argues,   \"attests to the strength of theoverlap between self and people close to you in collectivistic culturesand the separation in individualistic cultures. It is important to pushthe analysis to the level of the brain.\" Especially when it showshow fundamental cultural differences are--so fundamental, perhaps, that\"universal\" notions such as human rights, democracy, andthe like may be no such thing.
Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase\"making waves\" in Paragraph 3?

A.Drawing criticism.

B.Receiving suspicion.

C.Attracting attention.

D.Causing disagreement.
