Who talks more，women or men？ The seemingly conflicting evidence is resolved by the difference between what I call public and private speaking.More men feel comfortable doing "public speaking," while more women feel comfortable doing "private" speaking.Another way of capturing these differences is by using the terms report-talk and rapport-talk.For most women, the language of conversation is primarily a language of rapport: a way of establishing connections and negotiating relationships. Emphasis is placed on displaying similarities and matching experiences. From childhood, girls criticize their friends who try to stand out or appear better than others. People feel their closest connections at home, or in places where they feel at home -- with one or a few people they feel close to and comfortable with -- in other words, during private speaking. But even the most public situations can be approached like private speaking. For most women，talk is primarily a means to preserve independence and negotiate and maintain status in a hierarchical(等级制度的) social order.This is done by exhibiting knowledge and skill，and by ho1ding center stage through verbal performance such as torytelling，joking，or conveying information.From childhood，men learn to use talking as a way to get and keep attention.Therefore，they are more comfortable speaking in 1arger groups made up of people they know 1ess well，in the broadest sense，"public speaking”. But even the most private situations can be approached like public speaking,more like giving a report than establishing rapport. 21.A similar term for "private talking" is ___________. [A]report-talk [B]rapport-talk [C]persuasive talk [D]women's talk 22.When women talk，they tend to________. [A]admire their friends who stand out [B]make others feel at home [C]approach public situations like private talking [D]seek close relationship with other speakers 23. Men talk in order to________.

For most women, the language of conversations is【B6】a language of rapport: a way of establishing connections and【B7】relationships. Emphasis is【B8】on displaying similarities and【B9】experiences. From childhood, girls criticize peers who try to stand【B10】or appear better than others.

For most men, talk is primarily a means to【B13】independence and negotiate and【B14】status in a hierarchical social order. This is done by exhibiting knowledge and skill, and by【B15】center stage through verbal performance such as storytelling, joking, or【B16】information.

Real life is more complicated, of course, but this simple model illustrates an important truth．In the marriage market, numbers matter．And among African-Americans，the difference is much worse than in Mr．Harford's imaginary example．Between the ages of 20 and 29, one black man in nine is behind bars．For black women of the same age, the figure is about one in 150．For obvious reasons, convicts are excluded from the dating pool． Removing so many men from the marriage market has profound consequences．As imprisonment rates exploded between 1970 and 2007， the proportion of U.S.-born black women aged 30-44 who were married plunged from 62%to 33%．Why this happened is complex and furiously debated．The era of mass imprisonment began as traditional mores were already crumbling， following the sexual revolution of the 1960s and the invention of the contraceptive pill．① It also coincided with greater opportunities for women in the workplace． These factors must surely have had something to do with the decline of marriage． But jail is a big part of the problem, argue Kerwin Kofi Charles, now at the University of Chicago． They divided America up into geographical and racial “marriage markets”, to take account of the fact that most people marry someone of the same race who lives relatively close to them．② Then, after crunching the census numbers， they found that a one percentage point increase in the male imprisonment rate was associated with a 2.4-point reduction in the proportion of women, who ever marry．③ Could it be, however, that mass imprisonment is a symptom of increasing social malfunction, and that it was this social malfunction that caused marriage to wither？④ Probably not. For similar crimes, America imposes much harsher penalties than other rich countries．Mr. Charles and Mr. Luoh controlled for crime rates, as a substitution for social malfunction, and found that it made no difference to their results. They concluded that “higher male imprisonment has lowered the likelihood that women marry...and caused a shift in the gains from marriage away from women and towards men.” 阅读以上文章，回答 87～91 题 第 87 题 The word “ensues” in Paragraph 1 probably means __________．{Page} [A] to result in something [B] to happen after something [C] to be welcome [D] to be interrupted temporarily
