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 36 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.

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

A number of factors related to the voice reveal the personality of the speaker The first is the broad area of communication, which includes imparting information by use of language, communicating with a group or an individual, and specialized communication through performance A person conveys thoughts and ideas through choice of words, by a tone of voice that is pleasant or unpleasant, gentle or harsh, by the rhythm that is inherent within the language itself, and by speech rhythms that are flowing and regular or uneven and hesitant, and finally, by the pitch and melody of the utterance When speaking before a group, a person's tone

may indicate unsureness or fright, confidence or calm At interpersonal levels, the tone may

reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen, or may belie them Here the

speaker's tone can consciously or unconsciously reflect intuitive sympathy or antipathy, lack of concern or interest, fatigue, anxiety, enthusiasm or excitement, all of which are usually discernible by the acute listener Public performance is a manner of communication that is highly specialized with its own techniques for obtaining effects by voice and /or gesture The

motivation derived from the text, and in the case of singing, the music, in combination with the

performer's skills, personality, and ability to create empathy will determine the success

of artistic, political, or pedagogic communication

Second, the voice gives psychological clues to a person's self-image, perception of others, and emotional health Self-image can be indicated by a tone of voice that is confident, pretentious, shy, aggressive, outgoing, or exuberant, to name only a few personality traits Also the sound may give a clue to the facade or mask of that person, for example, a shy person hiding behind an overconfident front How a speaker perceives the listener's receptiveness, interest, or sympathy

in any given conversation can drastically alter the tone of presentation, by encouraging or discouraging the speaker Emotional health is evidenced in the voice by free and melodic sounds

of the happy, by constricted and harsh sound of the angry, and by dull and lethargic qualities of the depressed

Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form

of expression Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used

internationally, spelling, however, cannot

Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or

unintentionally A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking A nod signifies

approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction

This rapid transcontinental settlement and these new urban industrial circumstances of the last half

of the 19th century were accompanied by the development of a national literature of great abundance and variety New themes, new forms, new subjects, new regions, new authors, new audiences all emerged in the literature of this half century

As a result, at the onset of World War I, the spirit and substance of American literature had

evolved remarkably, just as its center of production had shifted from Boston to New York in the late

1880s and the sources of its energy to Chicago and the Midwest No longer was it produced, at least in its

popular forms, in the main by solemn, typically moralistic men from New England and the Old South; no longer were polite, well-dressed, grammatically correct, middle-class young people the only central

Trang 11

characters in its narratives; no longer were these narratives to be set in exotic places and remote times; no longer, indeed, were fiction, poetry, drama, and formal history the chief acceptable forms of literary

expression; no longer, finally, was literature read primarily by young, middle class women

In sum, American literature in these years fulfilled in considerable measure the condition Walt

Whitman called for in 1867 in describing Leaves of Grass: it treats, he said of his own major work, each state and region as peers "and expands from them, and includes the world connecting an American citizen with the citizens of all nations." At the same time, these years saw the emergence of what has been designated "the literature of argument," powerful works in sociology, philosophy, psychology, many of them impelled by the spirit of exposure and reform Just as America learned to play a role in this half century as an autonomous international political, economic, and military power, so did its literature establish itself as a producer of major works

Câu 55: It can be inferred from the first paragraph that the previous passage probably discussed _

A the limitations of American literature to this time

B the fashions and values of 19th century America

C he importance of tradition to writers

D new developments in industrialization and population shifts

studying at home at times that suit their family schedule They can log on early or late in the day

and even join live classes in other countries In order to ensure that each student is learning

adequately, computer software will automatically monitor the number of hours a week each

student studies on-line as well as that students' learning materials and assessment activities Reports will be available for parents and teachers The software can then identify the best

In Zamenhofs first attempt at a universal language, he tried to create a language that was as uncomplicated as possible This first language included words such as ab, ac, ba, eb, be, and ce This did not result in a workable language in that these monosyllabic words though short, were not easy to understand or to retain

Next, Zamenhof tried a different way of constructing a simplified language He made the words in his language sound like words that people already knew, but he simplified the grammar tremendously One example of how he simplified the language can be seen in the suffixes: all nouns in this language end in 0, as in the noun amiko, which means "friend," and all adjectives end in -a, as in the adjective bela, which means "pretty." Another example of the simplified language can be seen in the prefix mal-, which makes a word opposite in meaning; the word malamiko therefore means "enemy," and the word malbela therefore means "ugly" in Zamenhofs language

In 1887, Zamenhof wrote a description of this language and published it He used a pen name, Dr Esperanto, when signing the book He selected the name Esperanto because this word

means "a person who hopes" in his language Esperanto clubs began popping up throughout

Europe and by1905, Esperanto had spread from Europe to America and Asia

In 1905, the First World Congress of Esperanto took place in France, with approximately

700 attendees from 20 different countries Congresses were held annually for nine years, and 4,000 attendees were registered for the Tenth World Esperanto Congress scheduled for 1914, when World War I erupted and forced its cancellation
