M: Laura, what are you busy doing?
W: I’m working on my report on gender differences with the results of my survey.
M: Oh? What’s the finding? Are there really a lot of differences between men and women?
W: You bet there are. For example,(9)in a lot of men’s mind, women tend to be really talkative and some would describe their wives as chatter boxes. They say their wives say many things so fast that they get lost in the middle of the conversation.
M: Oh, dear. That’s too bad. But that is only men’s feelings. Do you find that women do talk so much?
W: Well, it all depends. Actually, my research finding is that men and women simply do different ways of talking.(10)Men do the public talking well and women often do the private talking.
M: Sorry, I lose track of your words. Private talking? What’s that?
W: That is to say,(10)for most women, the language of conversation is primarily a way of establishing connections and relationships. But for most men, talk is primarily a means to stay independent and maintain status in the social order.
M: I see. Men do have higher social status than women.
W: But nowadays,(ll)more and more women are doing better and better in the society. For example, in some Latin American countries, there are female defense ministers and in America, there are female Secretaries of State.
M: But do you feel that men and women are equally treated in the modern society?
W: According to my research, there are still a lot of inequality in both developing countries and the industrial ones. But fortunately, things are changing for the better.
9. How do men think of their wives in general?
10. What can we learn about people’s ways of talking?
11. Why is Hillary Clinton mentioned in the conversation?

选项 A、Men usually do more private talking.
B、Women never do public talking.
C、Conversation is a means to connect with each other for most women.
D、Men establish relationships through conversations.

答案 C

解析 事实细节题。本题问的是我们能了解到关于人们讲话方式的什么信息。女士明确提到,男性对公开讲话比较拿手,而女性的交谈则大多数属于私人谈话,但这并不是说女性从来就不公开讲话,因此排除A)和B).根据对话中对public talking和private talking的解释可知,大多数女性把交谈视为联络沟通的一种方式。
