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 cant do both - and they dont 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 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.56. While watching TV with others, women usually talk a lot because they A. 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 husbands57. 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 forgotten58. What does the author want to tell us most?A. Womens 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.59. 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 WomenBIt was the first snow of winter - an exciting day for every child but not for most tether. Up until now, l had been able to dress myself for recess(课间休息), but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher at Princess Elizabeth School near Hamilton, Ontario, had been through first snow days many times in her long career, but I think she may still remember this one. I managed to get into my wool snow pants. But I struggled with my jacket because it didnt fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and matching scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots. In her calm, motherly voice she said, By the end of winter, you will be able to put on own boots. “ I didnt realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence.I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children, I expected the adult to do all the work. After mush wiggling and pushing, she managed to get first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.I announced，“Theyre on the wrong feet”With the grace that only experience can bring，she struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on againThen I said，“These arent my bootsyou know”As she pulled the offending boots from my feet，she still managed to look both helpful and interestedOnce they were offI said，“They are my brothers bootsMy mother makes me wear them，and I hate them!” Somehow，from long years of practice，she managed to act as though I wasnt an annoying little girlShe pushed and shovedless gently this time，and the boots were returned to their proper place on my feetWith a great sigh of relief，seeing the end of her struggle with me，she asked，“Now，where are your gloves? I looked into her eyes and said“I didnt want to lose themso I put them into the toes of my boots”60According to the passage，the little girl got from her brotherAthe wool snow pants and the jacket Bthe jacket and the bootsCthe jacket and the hat Dthe boots and the gloves61What made it so hard for the teacher to help the little girl put her boots on?AThe gloves in the toes of the boots BThe slowness of the teacherCThe wrong size of the boots DThe unwillingness of the girl62It can be inferred that before the little girl finally went out to enjoy the first snow of winter，the teacher had to help her put on her boots Aonce Btwice Cthree times Dfour times63Which of the following sentences from the text BEST indicates that the teacher is very considerate?AIn her calm，motherly voice she said，“By the end of winter，”(Paragraph 2)BWith the grace that only experience can bring，she struggled to(Paragraph 4)Cshe still managed to look both helpful and interested(Paragraph 4)D，she managed to act as though I wasnt an annoying little girl.(Paragraph 4)CTransport Guide The Brisbane City Council(BCC)is responsible for bus and ferry services with in the city limits and suburbsMost buses will either arrive at the city or an interchange where connecting buses can be caughtBCC buses operate from 5：30 am to 11：00 pm Monday to Thursday and 5：30 am to 12：00 am on Fridays .On weekends and public holidays buses operate less frequently Prepaid bus tickets can be purchased from the QUT (Queensland University of Technology)bookshop，the campus newsagency, most other newsagencies and general stores，and any BCC Customer Service CentreShort-term students at QUT cannot use their ID cards to gain a discount fare on BCC public transportYou will need to buy an adult ticket to travelBus fares are dependent on the number of zones you have to travelThere are several types of tickets：Single：one way ticket to reach your destination，including transfers within 2 hoursDaily: unlimited travel within the zonesOff-peak Daily：discounted unlimited travel between 9：00 am and 3：30 pm and after 7：00 pm Monday to Friday, and all day on weekends and public holidaysWeekly：unlimited travel within the zones for one week from the date of issueMonthly：unlimited travel within the zones for one calendar month from the date of issueTen-trip Saver: 10 trips at any time within the zones on buses and ferries only Transport route, timetables and fare information are available from:Public Transport Information Centre69 Ann Street (corner of George St)Brisbane City Phone l3 12 30(Transport Information Service)64The transport guide above is most likely provided by APublic Transport Information Centre Bthe Brisbane City CouncilCQueensland University of Technology DBCC Customer Service Centres65We can learn from the passage that Abuses are scheduled as usual on weekends and public holidaysBregular students at QUT need to buy adult ticketsCPrepaid tickets can be bought from the Public Transport Information CentreDTen-trip Savers can be used at off-peak time66An exchange student staying at QUT for five days has to travel between zones every dayWhat type of ticket would he probably buy?
