新视野视听说教程第二册quiz
share about a popular girl at school, this proves that
she has a friendship with this girl. In this way Joy can
use gossip to gain more status in her school.
Tommy, on the other hand, may be less interested in
gossip. His status doesn't depend on who his friends
are at school. Tommy gains status through his own
ability to play sports well or earn high grades. Later in
life, Joy may continue to be interested in talking about
other people and their lives. Tommy will be less
interested in personal talk and more concerned with
discussions of sports and news. These give him a
chance to gain status by showing others his
knowledge.
Different ways of speaking are part of gender. As
adults, men and women sometimes face difficulties in
their communication with each other. Studies of
communication show that if a woman tells her
husband about a problem, she will expect him to
listen and offer sympathy. She may be annoyed when
he simply tells her how to solve the problem.
Similarly, a husband may be annoyed when his wife
wants to stop and ask a stranger for directions to a
park or restaurant. Unlike his wife, he would rather
use a map and find his way by himself.
Language is also part of the different ways that men
and women think about friendship. Most men believe
that friendship means doing things together such as
camping or playing tennis. Women, on the other
hand, usually identify their best friend as someone
with whom they talk frequently. Moreover, they often
use tag questions to get agreement from their friends.
If men and women can understand their differences,
they may be able to improve their relationships.
