A

According to the latest research in the United States, men and women talk such different languages that it is like people from two different cultures trying to communicate. Professor Deborah Tannen of Georgetown University has noticed the difference in the style of boys’ and girls’ conversations from an early age. She says that little girls’ conversation is less definite than boys’ and expresses more doubts. Little boys use conversations to establish status with their listeners.

These differences continue into adult life, she says. In public conversations, men talk most and interrupt other speakers more. In private conversations, men and women speak in equal amounts—although they say things in a different style. Professor Tannen believes that, for women, private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy(亲密,亲近).For men, private talking is a way to explore the power structure of a relationship.

Teaching is one job where the differences between men’s and women’s ways of talking show. When a man teaches a woman, says Professor Tannen, he wants to show that he has more knowledge, and hence(因此,所以)more power in conversation. When a woman teaches another woman, however, she is more likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her student to join in.

But Professor Tannen does not believe that women are naturally more helpful. She says women feel they achieve power by being able to help others. Although the research suggests men talk and interrupt people more than women, Professor Tannen says, women actually encourage this to happen because they believe it will lead to more intimacy and help to establish a relationship.

Some scientists who are studying speech think that the brain is pre-programmed for language. As we are usually taught to speak by women, it seems that the brain must have a sexual bias(倾向性)in its programming, otherwise male speech patterns would not arise at all.

A. it will lead to more intimacy and help to establish a relationship

D. fewer uncertainties

38.Some scientists believe that brain is pre-programmed for language. The word “pre-programmed” means 　　　.?

A. programmed already

B. programmed before one is born

C. programmed early

D. programmed by women

39.In private conversations, women speak 　　　.?

A the same things as men

B. less than men

C. more than men

D. as much as men

40.The theme of this article is 　　　.?

B

James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.

　　“J.C.”, he replied.

　　She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.

　　Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second-year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.

　　A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.

　　The stage was set for Owens' victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African-American winners.

　　“It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didn't go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”

　　Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone call from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.

　　Owens' Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs.

　　“Sure, it bothered me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”

　　In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”

41. Owens got his other name “Jesse” when __________.

　　A. he went to Ohio State University

　　B. his teacher made fun of him

　　C. his teacher took “J.C.” for “Jesse”

　　D. he won gold medals in the Big Ten meet

42. In the Big Ten meet, Owens __________.

　　A. hurt himself in the back

　　B. succeeded in setting many records

　　C. tried every sports event but failed

　　D. h
