阅读理解。     When women sit together to watch a movie on TV, they usually talk simultaneously (同时的) about a
variety of subjects, including children, men, careers and what"s happening in their lives. When groups of
men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. Men can
either talk or watch the screen-they can"t do both-and they don"t understand that women can. Besides,
women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships-not
just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.
     During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship
between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle body language signals that
reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally. Since women originally spent their days with the other
women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to
maintain relationships. For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships
and make friends. For men, to talk is to relate the facts.
     Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but
a woman sees it as a means of bonding. A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend
and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.
     There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls" mothers talked them more,
is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author of Social Behavior and
Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at, baby girls more
often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents respond to the brain bias of their children. Since
a girl"s brain is better organized to send and receive speech, we therefore talk to them more. Consequently,
mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short grunts in reply. 1. While watching TV with others, women usually talk a lot because they _____.A. are afraid of awkward silence with their families and friends
B. can both talk and watch the screen at the Same time
C. think they can have a good time and develop relationships
D. have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands 2. After a vacation with her girlfriend, a woman would talk to her again on the phone for hours in order
    to _____. A. experience the happy time again
B. keep a close tie with her
C. recommend her a new scenic spot
D. remind her of something forgotten 3. What does the author want to tell us most? A. Women"s brains are better organized for language and communication.
B. Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men.
C. Men do not like talking because they rely more on facts.
D. Social conditioning is not the reason why women love talking. 4. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Women Are Socially Trained to Talk
B. Talking Maintains Relationships
C. Women Love to Talk  
D. Men Talk Differently from Women

                                                        Communication Principles
     How you see yourself can make a great difference in how you communicate. "Every individual exists
in a continually changing world of experience of which he (or she) is the center". Many communication
scholars and social scientists believe that people are products of how others treat them and of the messages
others send them. But every day we experience the centrality of our selves in communication. A student,
for instance, may describe a conflict with a teacher as unfair treatment:"I know my teacher doesn"t like the
fact that I don"t agree with his opinions and that"s why he gave me such a poor grade in that class. "The
teacher might say the opposite. Each person may believe that he is correct and that the other person"s view
is wrong.
     The concept of self originates in communication. Through verbal and nonverbal symbols, a child learns
to accept roles in response to the expectations of others. You establish self-image. The sort of person you
believe you are, by how others think of you. Positive, negative, and neutral messages that you receive from
others all play a role in determining who you are. Communication itself is probably best understood as a
dialogue process. Our understanding of communication comes from our interactions with other people. In
a more obvious way, communication involves others in the sense that a competent communicator considers
what the other person needs and expects when selecting messages to share. So,the communication begins
with the self, as defined largely by others,and involves others, as defined largely by the self.
     Communication occurs almost every minute of your life. If you are not communicating with yourself
(thinking, planning, reacting to the world around you), you are observing others and drawing inferences from
their behavior. Even if the other person did not intend a message for you, you gather observations and draw
specific conclusions. A person yawns and you believe that person is bored with your message. A second
person looks away from you and you conclude that person is not listening to you. A third person smiles
(perhaps because of a memory of a joke he heard recently) and you believe that he is attracted to you. We
are continually picking up meanings from others" behaviors and we are constantly providing behaviors that
have communicative value for them.
     More often than not, you may have hurt someone accidentally and you may have tried to explain that you
did not mean that. You may have told the other person that you were sorry for your statement. You may
have made a joke out of your rude statement. Nonetheless, your comment remains both in the mind of the
other person and in your own mind. You cannot go back in time and erase your messages to others.
Communication cannot be reversed (倒退),n or can it be repeated. When you tried to re-create the atmosphere,
the conversation,and the setting, nothing seemed right. Your second experience with a similar setting and
person made far different results.

the week of November 15.

how expensive some toys are for middle-class parent. Further, your product is violent in nature. Youth
advertisement gives children the impression that it"s fine to have "two guns and laser eyes." You also
suggest that children need your toy protect them "when you go outside." This is not a healthy attitude for
children to have.
     I hope you will stop advertising your product in such a way that may our children. 
                                                                                                                Sincerely yours,
                                                                                                               (Mrs.) Alma Hernandez Enc

     Many people write to newspaper and magazines express their opinions. Letters to the editor must carry
the writer"s full name, address and telephone number, although the information is not necessary for publication.
This requirement to provide personal particulars is a clear indication that writers are held responsible for what
they say. When a writer wants his voice heard, he needs to claim ownership of his voice. Responsibility is the
name of the game.
     "People today prefer living together to putting their signatures on a marriage certificate because they refuse
to accept responsibility for the relationship," said social worker Ken Yip, "and this is what is causing a lot of
family problems." When we sign a paper, for example, a business contract or a bank document, the signature
is symbol of consent, an agreement to take the matter seriously. Most governments and many organizations
will not process writer"s complaints if they do not bear the writer"s signature. The absence of a signature, they
explain, tells us that the writer cannot be too serious and therefore does not deserve a reply.
     There are people who wish to remain anonymous (匿名的) for various reasons. Multi-billionaire Mr. King
donates generously to charity several times a year. He gives simply because he wants to help but not for the
publicity his donations may bring, and he does not want his good deeds to make news. In other cases, people
insist on anonymity because they are afraid of the consequences of revealing their identity. Crime witnesses
may be willing to assist the police, but most are unwilling to give their names when reporting a crime.
     Name or no name? The answer is very personal and lies in how much we want to get involved. We all have
a name, it is a matter if responsibility to it when we make a statement, a claim or an accusation. We all want
to honour our own name, and it is only by stamping our expression of an opinion with our own name that we
honour what we say.

1. What does the writer mean by saying "Responsibility is the name of the game"?
 A. Writers need to provide their personal information in the game.
B. Publication must bear the writer"s full name, address and phone number.
C. Writers should be responsible for their names.
D. Names are required to indicate writers" responsibility for what they say.
2. The second paragraph suggests that a paper without a signature may _____.
A. help to end a relationship
B. not get a reply
C. be accepted all the same
D. become a family problem
3. Some people don"t want their names known because they are _____.
A. hesitant to make a donation
B. unwilling to draw public attention
C. afraid of an accusation
D. ready for involvement
4. The passage is mainly about _____.
A. honour and writers
B. identity and signature
C. signature and responsibility
D. anonymity and signature
