feels, often a man would express his love by buying the woman cosmetics (化妆品), or bringing home a flower, or giving up the control of the remote (遥控器).and when men do talk, theyd prefer to talk about actions rather than emotions. for example, a lot of men would choose to express their long-range faith in a relationship by talking about next summers vacation plans, not by starting a conversation about undying love.men just prefer to say their plans with plane tickets, rather than poetry. its one of the reasons why men are more comfortable talking at work (the practical world) than they are at home (the castle that emotion built). but you can bring out his great communicator by making him feel more like hes operating in the work mode, even when the topic at hand is your love life.when men talk less and women want more, the conflict can escalate. like when a policeman is questioning an unwilling witness, more silence equals more questions. a full 65 percent of men we surveyed recently told us that they dont want their partners to ask them more questions about themselves.its clear that some men are just tired of feeling like theyre on the witness stand. theyre not necessarily hiding anything; many men simply prefer not to have to tell confusing feelings that they may not even understand themselves.an age-old method can make things better: back off a little, give him room to operate in a conversation, and hes more likely to open up.64.according to the author, men feel more comfortable when talking .a. actions b. feelingsc. long-term friendship d. conversations65.how can women communicate more successfully with men?a. they may give men a surprise by buying plane tickets.b. they can ask men if they have a great time during working.c. they might create a warm home environment first of all.d. they can give men the feeling that they are talking at work.66.the underlined word “escalate” has the similar meaning to .a. decrease b. disappear c. change d. increase67.from the text it can be inferred that .a. women are better at writing poems about emotions than menb. it is natural for women to be fond of finding the faults of menc. men are more interested in learning more about their partnersd. men prefer to pour out their hearts in a forgiving environmentdconfucius (551bc479bc), a chinese philosopher，one of the most influential men in the history of china. confucius was born in a noble family in the state of lu. however，his parents were poor. his father died when confucius was only three years old. in 527 bc he began his life as a teacher，usually traveling about and teaching the followers that were around him. confucius worked as an official of the state of lu. however，he soon left office to travel and teach. in 484 bc he returned to lu，where he lived until his death.living in the turbulent(动荡的)period，confucius believed that people must go back to the principles of the ancient wise men. he therefore lectured to his pupils on the classics and taught them how to behave properly in society. confucius did not write down the principles of his philosophy. the analects (论语)，a work written by some of his followers，is considered the most faithful source of information about his life and teachings.the teachings of confucius were practical and moral，rather than religious. he said that mans behavior should be based on five virtues：kindness, uprightness(义)，decorum(礼)，wisdom and faithfulness(信)he asked everyone to fulfill their duties carefully toward the state. in the centuries after his death，his teachings，known as confucianism，had a more powerful influence on the chinese nation.68at about what age did confucius begin his teaching？_a51. b27. c48. d24.69the analects is_.aconsidered to have been written by
