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________.

Which of the following is true？ [A]Men talk more than women. [B]Men feel more comfortable making a public speech than women. [C]Men are more knowledgeable than women.

Fear is the driver's constant companion, and tragedy can be just a step behind.Scarcely a man in the 500 does not carry the scars of ancient crashes.The mark of the plastic surgeon is everywhere, and burned skin is common.Sometimes a driver's scars are invisible, part of his heritage.Two young drivers, Billy Vukovich and Gary Bettenhausen, raced in their first 500 in 1968.Less than 20 years before, their fathers also competed against one another on the Indy track-and died there.All this the drivers accept.Over the years, they have learned to trust their own techniques, reflexes, and courage.They depend, too, on a trusted servant-scientific engineering.Though they may not have had a great deal of schooling(an exception is New Zealand's Bruce McLaren, who has an engineering degree), many drivers are gifted mechanics, with a feeling for their engines that amount to kinship.A few top drivers have become extremely wealthy, with six-figure incomes from prize money, endorsements, and jobs with auto-product manufacturers.Some have businesses of their own.McLaren designs racing chassis(底盘).Dan Gurney's California factory manufactured the chassis of three of the first four ears in the 1968 Indy 500, including his own second place car.Yet money is not the only reason why men race cars.Perhaps it isn't even the major reason.Three-time Indy winner(1961,1964,1967)A.J.Foyt, for example, can frequently be found competing on dirty tracks in minor-league races, where money, crowds and safety features are limited, and only the danger is not.Why does he do it？ Sometimes Foyt answers, "It's in my blood." Other times he says, "It's good practice." Now and then he replies, "Don't ask dumb questions." 1.The statement "it is usually their nerves that go first" means ________. A.at first they all have a nervous look B.they often find they can't bear the tension even if they are in good condition C.someday they find they can't make responses to any risk D.they can continue their career at most until the middle 40s 2.It can be inferred that a car accident is often coupled with ________. A.a plastic surgeon B.a companion C.a risk D.a fire 3.The invisible scars of the drivers mentioned in the second paragraph refers to ________. A.the regrets left by their fathers B.the fears left by their fathers C.the cars left by their fathers D.the heritage left by their fathers 4.Bruce McLaren is different from most of the drivers in that ________. A.he himself designs chassis B.he has an engineering degree C.he manufactures chassis D.he is a gifted mechanic 5.A.J.Foyt often takes part in minor-league races for ________. A.prize money B.blood test C.cheers from the crowd D.Enjoyment

Magellan sailed from Seville in August 1519 with five ships and about 280 men. Fourteen months later, after spending the severe winter on the coast of Patagonia, he discovered the channel which is now called Magellan's Straits. In November 1520, after many months of dangers from rocks and storms, the three remaining ships entered the ocean on the other side of South America. They then continued, hoping to reach Asia. Before they arrived at these islands, later known as the Philippines, Magellan was killed in battle. The remaining officers then had to get back to Spain. They decided to sail around Africa. After many difficulties, one ship with eighteen men sailed into Seville three years after leaving. They were all that remained of Magellan's expedition. However, their achievement was great. They were the first men to sail round the world. The purpose of Magellan's expedition was ______. A．to become famous at that time B．to find navigation line from the Atlantic to the Pacific C．to make a voyage to Asia D．to carry men to the Seville

Some people say men have more duties than women. A married man is thought to earn money to support his family and to make the important decision, so it is right for them to be paid more. Some are even against married women working at all. When wives go out to work, they say, the home and children are given no attention to. (80) If women are encouraged by equal pay to take full-time jobs, they will be unable to do the things they are best at doing: making a nice home and bringing up children. Women who disagree say they want to escape from the limited place which society wishes them to fill and to have freedom to choose between work and home life, or a mixture of the two. Women have the right not only to equal pay but also to equal chances. The women use the phrase "equal pay for equal work" to ask society to _________. A．pay men less than women B．give Women harder work C．pay men and women the same amount of money for the same work D．pay people more who do harder work

They both do, a new study says.but in different ways.Men and women.Canadian researchers have found，have different methods of finding their way.Men look quickly at landmarks(地标)and head off in what they think is the right direction.Women, however, try to picture the whole route in detail and then follow the path in their head.“women tend to be more detailed,”said Edward Cornell.who led the study,“while men tend to be a little bit faster and …a little bit more intuitive(直觉感知的).” In fact, said Cornell,“sense of direction”isn’t one skill but two. The first is the“survey method”.This is when you see all area from above, such as a printed map.Y0u can see，for example，where the hospital is，where the church is and that the supermarket is on its right. The second skill is the“route method”This is when you use a series of directions.You start from the hospital，then turn left，turn fight，go uphill——and then you see the supermarket. Men are more likely to use the survey method while women are more likely to use one route and follow directions. Both work, and neither is better. Some scientists insist that these different skills have a long history. They argue it is because of the difference in traditional roles. In ancient times，young men often went far away with the older men to fish or hunt.The trip took hours or days and covered unfamiliar places.The only way to know where you were was to use the survey method to remember landmarks—them ountains, the lakes and so on. The women，on the other hand，took young girls out to find fruits and plants.These activities were much closer to home but required learning well-used paths.So, women’s sense of space was based on learning certain routes. 第41题：When finding his way, Dad tends to rely on A．his intuitive knowledge. B．his book knowledge． C．Mum’s assistance. D．the police’s assistance．

A．Constantine B．JuliusCaesar C．Octavius D．Augustus

His wife Jane, an Oxford graduate in modern languages, has a demanding full-time job. She is director of the Cambridge House literacy scheme for adults in South London. Her working week involves several evenings and Saturdays, and at these times her husband is in sole charge of home and family. Apart from this, they share household jobs and employ a child-minder for the afternoons. This enables him to teach two days a week and to do what he considers is his principal work: writing. He has written several books and spends much of his time in the British Museum Reading Room, cycling there from his home in Brixton. People ask the Maces if they think that their children miss them. One can argue that satisfied parents generally have satisfied children, but in any case the Maces are careful to reserve time and energy to play with their children. "And they have now developed relationships with other adults and children." Previously, Rodney Mace worked full - time and Jane only part-time. Then 18 months ago, the director of the literacy scheme left. "It seemed to me that Jane was very' well suited to do this job. She was very doubtful about it. But I urged her to apply. She did, and she got it." Jane Mace confirms that she needed this encouragement, as so many women initially do. Did his male ego suffer from the changeover？ Nothing like that occurred. But he still seems amazed at the way it changed his thinking. "I felt that we were finally going to be partners. I felt enormous relief. I wasn't avoiding responsibility, but changing it. Our relationship is so much better now. It has been a change for the good for both of us——I think for all of us, in every aspect of our lives. I cannot overemphasize that in every aspect. I think it is fundamental that the woman works. The idea of equal partnership is an illusion if one partner doesn’t work." The article is about a couple whose married life is happier because _______. A．they have a truly equal partnership B．the husband enjoys staying at home C．they earn more money D．the wife has a full-time job
