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 to them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. psychiatrist dr michael lewis, author of social behaviour 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 girls 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 disappointed to receive only short grunts in reply.59.while watching tv with others, women usually talk a lot because theya. are afraid of awkward silence with their families and friendsb. can both talk and watch the screen at the same timec. think they can have a good time and develop relationshipsd. have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands60. 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 herc. recommend her a new scenic spot d. remind her of something forgotten61. what does the author want to tell us most?a. women s brains are better organized for language and communicationb. 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.62. which of the following would be the best title for the passage?a. women are socially trained to talk b. talking maintains relationshipsc. women love to talk d. men talk differently from womenchey there, so youre about to spend four years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars of your parents money, and all you really know about college is that all of your friends are going. do you ever stop to wonder why youre going? relax. youre making the right decision. first of all, youll discover what interests you by taking courses in many subjects. for example, its hard to decide if you want to be a painter if youve never painted any picture; once youre in a drawing-room on campus, youll know one way or the other. college is also a lot of fun after you graduate, youll be working every weekday for 50 or so years. and remember that college graduates earn about twice the income of those who never attended college. finding the right college can be difficult. fortunately, johnson review is here to help you every step of the way. *researching schools. to us, the most important decision youll make is to choose the school that really fits you best not the one that is the most competitive (有竞争力的) or has the best-equipped rooms. *applying to school. on johnsonr , youll find hundreds of actual college applications（申请）and links to many more . *raising your scores. american college test is one of the most difficult parts of the admissions (录取) course . its not the most important, though, and not everyone needs to prepare for the test. but, if you think you can do better, find the right course for better scores. *paying for school. most families need financial aid for the high cost of college. the problem is that financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college rather than learning the ways to get financial aid . if you really do your research, youll learn that you can afford to attend any college, no matter the cost. for more information, call 600-3681 or visit johnsonr.wherever you go, have a nice trip! johnson smith founder and

open late into the night. and on the internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant (不相关的).a half century ago in the united states, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. today the boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear.the law in almost all states used to require stores to close on sunday; in most, it no longer does. it used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer, in most, it still does. and whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more “flexible,” is often debated. how should we, as a society, organ
