Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the<br />
correct answer to each of the questions from 12 to 19.<br />
Who talk more - men or women? Most people believe that women talk more. However, linguist<br />
Deborah Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women, says that this is a<br />
stereotype. According to Tannen, women are more verbal - talk more - in private situations, where<br />
they use conversation as the "glue" to hold relationships together. But, she says, men talk more in<br />
public situations, where they use conversation to exchange information and gain status. Tannen points<br />
out that we can see these differences even in children. Little girls often play with one "best friend",<br />
their play includes a lot of conversation. Little boys often play games in groups; their play usually<br />
involves more doing than talking. In school, girls are often better at verbal skills, boys are often better<br />
at mathematics.<br />
A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference.<br />
Researchers studied conversation between children age 3-6 and their parents. They found evidence<br />
that parents talk very differently to their son than they do to their daughters. The startling conclusion<br />
was that parents use more language with their girls. Specifically, when parents talk with their<br />
daughters, they use more descriptive language and more details. There is also far more talk about<br />
emotions, especially sadness, with daughters than with sons.<br />
Question 12: Which sentence best expresses the main idea of the first paragraph?<br />
A. It's stereotype that women talk more than men.<br />
B. Little girls and little boys have different ways of playing.<br />
C. Women talk more than men.<br />
D. Women talk more in private, and men talk more in public<br />
Question 13: Which sentence best expresses the main idea of the second paragraph?<br />
A. Researchers have studied the conversations of children and their parents.<br />
B. Study at Emory University can help to explain the differences between communication styles of<br />
boys and girls.<br />
C. An Emory University found that parents talk more with their daughters than with their sons.<br />
D. Parents do not talk much about sadness with their sons.<br />
Question 14: Which of the following statements can be inferred from the first paragraph?<br />
A. Women talk more in some situations, men talk more in others.<br />
B. Men are more sociable than women<br />
C. Men and women have different styles of talking, which may begin in childhood.<br />
D. According to Deborah Tannen, the belief that women talk more is partly right but most wrong<br />
and oversimplified.<br />
