Researchers found that women are overcome by a burning desire to share gossip(流言蜚语)as soon as they hear it. They will typically tell the secret to at least one other person in 47 hours. Depending on who the gossip is about, their boyfriend, husband, best friend or mother is most likely to be the recipients(接受者)of the information.The study of 3,000 women aged between 18 and 65 also found that. four out of ten admitted they were unable to keep a secret—no matter how personal or secret the news was. It was also found that alcohol usually gives us a helping hand to let out secrets—with more than half admitting a glass or two of wine could get them to dish the dirt.
Michael Cox, UK Director of Wines of Chile, said, “It’s official that women can’t keep secrets. We are really eager to find out with this survey how many secrets people are told. What we don’t count on(指望)is how quickly these are passed on by those we trust. No matter how precious the piece of information is, it often comes out within 48 hours.”
Three quarters say they are able to keep quiet about a secret, and 83 percent consider themselves 100 percent reliable within each group of friends. Yet, four in ten admit to gossiping to a close friend from another friendship group. Nearly half(45 percent)disclose secrets just for the weight to be lifted from their shoulders. More than four in ten think it is acceptable to share a friend’s secret with someone who doesn’t know him or her.
Private issues, true cost of purchases and affairs emerged top of the secret-keeping list, with girls most likely to share a secret chatting face-to-face, on the phone or via a text message. Fortunately, over a quarter(27 percent)said they forgot what they were told the following day.

答案
试题分析:本文讲述了
女性不善于保守秘密,一项最新调查表明,普通女性保守秘密的时间不超过47个小时。女性最有可能首先将秘密告诉给男友、丈夫、最好的朋友或者母亲,而这通常取决于八卦的内容与谁有关。调查还发现,饮酒会让人更加口无遮拦,一半以上的受访者承认一两杯酒下肚,她们就管不住自己的嘴巴了。据统计隐私话题、货品的真实价格以及花边新闻高居保密排行榜之首。女性最可能在见面聊天、打电话或发短信时与他人分享秘密。小题1:Tell secrets to others / Let out secrets.
小题2:Drinking wine/Alcohol.
小题3:Private issues, true cost of purchases and affairs.
小题4:Because they think it can reduce pressure.
小题5:I think women should keep secrets. Because spreading gossip may cause lots of trouble and harm the relations between people.
解析
小题1:根据four out of ten admitted they were unable to keep a secret 既然不能保守秘密,在喝了酒后,自然就会把秘密说出来,故用Tell secrets to others / Let out secrets.
小题2:根据a glass or two of wine could get them to dish the dirt.喝了酒后容易把秘密说出,故用
Drinking wine/Alcohol.
小题3:根据Private issues, true cost of purchases and affairs emerged top of the secret-keeping list, 隐私话题、商品的真实价格以及花边新闻高居保密排行榜之首。故用 Private issues, true cost of purchases and affairs.
小题4:根据Because they think it can reduce pressure.
小题5:根据自己的观点写出就行,我认为妇女应该保守秘密,因为传播这种流言蜚语有时会带来一些麻烦或者伤害人们之间的关系,故用I think women should keep secrets. Because spreading gossip may cause lots of trouble and harm the relations between people.

试题【Researchers found that women are overcome by a burning desire to share gossip(流言】;主要考察你对数词等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
How to Argue with Your BossBefore you argue with your boss, check with the boss’s secretary to determine his mood. If he ate nails for breakfast, it is not a good idea to ask him for something. Even without the boss’s secretary, there are keys to timing: don’t approach the boss when he’s on deadline; don’t go in right before lunch, when he is apt to be distracted and rushed; don’t go in just before or after he has taken a vacation.
If you’re mad, that will only make your boss mad. Calm down first. And don’t let a particular concern open the floodgates for all your accumulated frustration. The boss will feel that you think negatively about the company and it is hopeless trying to change your mind. Then, maybe he will dismiss you.
Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss. Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear. The employee has to get his point across clearly in order to make the boss understand it.
Your boss has enough on his mind without your adding more. If you can’t put forward an immediate solution, at least suggest how to approach the problem. People who frequently present problems without solutions to their boss may soon find they can’t get past the secretary.
To deal effectively with a boss, it’s important to consider his goals and pressures. If you can put yourself in the position of being a partner to the boss, then he will be naturally more inclined to work with you to achieve your goals.
