Part IV Reading Comprehension
Question 61 to 65 are based on the following passage :
Who talks more , women or men ? The seemingly contradictory evidence is reconciled by the difference what I call public private speaking . More men feel comfortable doing “ public speaking ” , while more women feel comfortable doing “ private ” speaking . Another way of capturing these differences is by using the terms report-talk and rapport-talk .
For most women , the language of conversation is primarily a language of rapport : a way of establishing connections and negotiating relationships . Emphasis is placed on displaying similarities and matching experiences . From childhood , girls criticize peers who try to stand out or appear better than others . People feel their closest connections at home , or in settings where they feel at home – with one or a few people they feel close to and comfortable with – in other words , during private speaking . But even the most public situations can be approached like private speaking .
For most men , talk is primarily a means to preserve independence and negotiate and maintain status in a hierarchical social order . This is done by exhibiting knowledge and skill , and by holding center stage through verbal performance such as storytelling ,joking , or imparting information . From childhood , men learn to use talking as a way to get and keep attention . So they are more comfortable speaking in larger groups made up of people they know less well , in the broadest sense , “ public speaking ” . But even the most private situations can be approached like public speaking , more like giving a report than establishing rapport .
61. Another term for “ private talking ” is ______ .
A. report talk B. rapport talk C. persuasive talk D. women’s talk
62. When women talk , they tend to ______ .
A. criticize their friends who stand out B. make others feel at home
C. approach
