awhich gender is the most talkative? no matter what you answer, you are partially right.a recent gallup poll showed that both men and women believe that women possess the gift of talking and some even believe women are biologically built for conversation, but all of that is challenged in a research published in the november issue of personality and social psychology review. .in a recent research by campbell leaper and melanie ayres, they collected all of the available evidence from decades of scientific study and systematically combined the findings into an overall picture of the differences between men and women regarding talkativeness.they found a small but reliable tendency（趋势） for men to be more talkative than women in certain cases, such as when they were conversing with their wives or with strangers. women talked more to their children and to their college classmates.the type of speech was also explored in the research. the researchers discovered that, with strangers, women were generally more talkative when it came to using speech to ensure her connection to the listener, while mens speech focused more on an attempt to influence the listener. with close friends and family, however, there was very little difference between genders in the amount of speech.56.this passage mainly talks about a research conducted by _ .a. gallup poll b. personality and social psychology reviewc. campbell leaper and melanie ayres d. the author57. which of the following statements describes the main idea of the passage?a. women are born more talkative than men.b. men are born more talkative than women.c. women and men are talkative in different cases.d. women are no more talkative than men.58.the underlined word gender means _.a. people b. nationality c. culture d. sex59.talking with strangers, _.a. women are more talkative than with people they knowb. men are more talkative than with their wivesc. women prefer to listen more rather than speak mored. men speak a lot to have their opinions accepted bdoes a tea break make you more efficient?china has been drinking tea since the time of shennong, 5,000 years ago. britains relationship with tea is much shorter, but tea enjoys pride of place as the uks national drink. according to the uk tea council, british people drink an average of three cups a day or a national total of 165 million cups every day. with figures like these, it is no surprise that time spent taking tea affects the working day in britain. a recent survey found that 24 minutes a day are lost to making, buying and drinking tea and coffee. that is, 400 a year is lost in working hours per employee, or 190 days over a lifetime. so, should employers be worried about this lost working time, or does the tea break make up in other ways? one argument is that caffeine improves mental state: a drink of tea or coffee can make you active and focus on work. professor rogers of the university of bristol disagrees. after years of studying caffeine he sees nothing can prove that. “workers would perform equally well if not drinking it at all,” he says. “but if theyre often drinking it and then go without, theyll feel tired and wont work well.” psychologist cooper instead emphasizes the role tea breaks play in office life, and in building social relationships. “we need to make people more active and see other people. the tea break is one way of doing this,” says cooper. and professor rogers also points out the comfort effect of a hot drink: “we warm our hands on them on a cold day; theyre comforting and play a big role in our everyday life. whatever the caffeines doing, id say these 24 minutes arent wasted.” 60. what is the passage mainly about?a. tea breaks cannot make people more active at work.b. british people drink more tea than people in other countries.c. tea break plays an important role in peoples life in britain.d. a lot of time has been wasted drinking tea in the working day.61. we learn from a recent survey that in britain _.a. 400 is lost in working hours for each person b. tea breaks take up 24 minutes in a working dayc. people spend 190 days drinking tea and coffee each yeard. people drink 165 million cups in working hours every day62. whats psychologist coopers attitude towards tea break?a. doubtful. b. uncertain. c. negative. d. positive.cbeijing, nov. 26 - u. s. dollar hit another record

“homeless to harvard: the liz murray story”, shown in late april.liz murray, a 22-year-old american girl, has been writing a real-life story of willpower and determination. liz grew up in the shadow of two drug-addicted (吸毒) parents. there was never enough food or warm clothes in the house. liz was the only member of the family who had a job. her mother had aids and died when liz was just 15 years old. the effect of that loss became a turning point in her life. connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died, she decided to do something about it.liz went back to school. she threw herself into her studies, never telling her teachers that she was homeless. at night, she lived on the streets. “what drove me to live on had something to do with understanding, by understanding that there was a whole other way of being. i had only experienced a small part of the society,” she wrote in her book breaking night.she admitted that she used envy to drive herself on. she used the benefits that come easily to others, such as a safe living environment, to encourage herself that “next to nothing could hold me down”. she finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at harvard university. but liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care of her father, who has also developed aids. “i love my parents so much. they are drug addicts. but i never forget that they love me all the time.”liz wants moviegoers to come away with the idea that changing your life is “as
