Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions:
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 35. Which sentence best expresses the main idea of the first paragraph?
      	A. Little girls and little boys have different ways of playing.

Question 37. Which sentence best expresses the main idea of the second paragraph?
  	A. Researchers have studied  the conversations of children and their parents. 
  	B. Parents do not talk much about sadness with their sons. 
	C. Study at Emory University can help to explain the differences between communication styles of boys and girls.
	D. An Emory University found that parents talk more with their daughters than with their sons.
Question 38 . Which of the following phrases best explains the meaning of the word “verbal”?

Family Life in the United States 
 Family life in the United States is changing . Thirty or forty years ago , the wife was called a “housewife” . She cleaned , cooked , and cared for the children . The husband earned the money for the family . He was usually out working all day . He came home tired in the evening , so he did not do much housework . And he did not see the children very much , except on weekends . 
 These days , however , more and more wemen work outside the home . They cannot stay with the children all day . Thet , too , come home tired in the evening . They do not wnt to spend the evening cooking dinner and cleaning up . They do not have time to clean the house and do the laundry . So who is going to do the housework now ? . Who is going to take care of the children ? .
 Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it . In these families , the husband and wife agree to do different jobs around the house , or they take turns doing each job . For example , the husband always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry . Or the wife cooks dinner on some nights and the husband cooks dinner on other nights . 
 Then there is a question of the children . In the past , many Fmilies got help with child care from grandparents . Noe families usually do not live near their relatives . The grandparents often are to far away to help in a regular way .
 More often , parents have to pay for child care help . The help may be a babysister or a day-care center . The problem with thjis kind of help is the high cost . It is possible only for couples with jobs that pay well . 
 Parents may get another k8ind of help from the companies they work for . Many companies now let people with children work part-time . That way , parents can spend more time with their children . Some husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children . For these men there is a new word : They are called “ househusband” . In the United States more ans more men are becoming househusband every year .
 Tahese changes in the home mean changes in the family . Fathers can learn to understand their children better , and the children can get to know their fathers better . Husbands and wives may also find changes in their marriage . They , too , may have a better understanding of each other .
