Read the passage and choose the best answer (A or B, C, D) from 33 to 40
Who talk more - men or women? Most people believe that women talk more. However,
linguist Deborah Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women, says that this
is a stereotype. According to Tannen, women are more verbal - talk more - in private situations, where
they use conversation as the "glue" to hold relationships together. But, she says, men talk more in
public situations, where they use conversation to exchange information and gain status. Tannen points
out that we can see these differences even in children. Little girls often play with one "best friend",
their play includes a lot of conversation. Little boys often play games in groups; their play usually
involves more doing than talking. In school, girls are often better at verbal skills, boys are often better
at mathematics.
A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference.
Researchers studied conversation between children age 3-6 and their parents. They found evidence
that parents talk very differently to their son than they do to their daughters. The startling conclusion
was that parents use more language with their girls. Specifically, when parents talk with their
daughters, they use more descriptive language and more details. There is also far more talk about
emotions, especially sadness, with daughters than with sons.
Question 33: Which sentence best expresses the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. Little girls and little boys have different ways of playing.
B. Women talk more in private, and men talk more in public
C. Women talk more than men.
D. It's stereotype that women talk more than men.
Question 34: Which sentence best expresses the main idea of the second paragraph?
A. An Emory University found that parents talk more with their daughters than with their sons.
B. Parents do not talk much about sadness with their sons.
C. Study at Emoiy University can help to explain the differences between communication styles of
boys and girls.

D. Researchers have studied the conversations of children and their parents.
