These differences continue into adult life. In public conversations, men talk more and interrupt other speakers more. In private conversations, men and women speak in equal amounts, although they say things in a different style. For women, private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy. For men, private talking is a way to explore the power structure of a relationship. Teaching is one job where the differences between men's and women's ways of talking show. When a man teaches a woman, he wants to show that he has more knowledge, and hence more power in conversation. He uses his language to show this. When a woman teaches another woman, however, she is more likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her student to join in. But it doesn't suggest that women are naturally more helpful. Actually, women feel they achieve power by being able to help others. (17) A．Boys tend to speak more than girls. B．Girls are more expressive than boys. C．Girls care more about their listeners.

(76) Now, taking books, or anything else, from a little girl is like taking candy from a baby. but the father of the little girl had his way and Robert got two of her books. "After all, that leaves you with nine," said the father, who was a philosopher and a child psychologist(心理学家), and couldn't shut his big stupid mouth on the subject. A few weeks later, the father went to his library to look up "father" in the Oxford English Dictionary, to feast his eyes on(一饱眼福) the praise of fatherhood through the centuries, but hc couldn't find volume F-G and then he discovered that three others were missing, too: A-B, L-M, V-Z. He began to search his household, and learned what had happened to the four missing volumes. "A man came to the door this morning," said the little daughter, "and he didn't know how to get from here to Torrington, or from Torrington to Winsted, and he was a nice man, much nicer than Robert, and so I gave him four of your books. After all, there are thirteen volumes in the Oxford English Dictionary, and that leaves you with nine."
