[单项选择]Women’s fashions tend to change more rapidly than men’s. In the early 1900s all women wore their skirts down to the ankle. Today, skirt length varies from floor- length to ten inches above the knee. Women’s shoes have also gone through all sorts of changes in the last ninety years.

Today they are back in style again in all colors, lengths, and materials. In fact, today’s women can wear all types of clothes, even T-shirts and shorts on almost any occasion. While all of these changes were taking place in women’s fashions, men’s clothing remained pretty much the same until a couple of years ago. And, in fact, most men still wear the traditional suit, jacket, shirt, tie, though bright colors, patterns, and a variety in cut are now more common.

[填空题]Do women talk more than men Do men talk in the same way as women According to the latest research from the United States of America, 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 differences 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 conversation 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, fur women, private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy (亲密). For men, private talking is a way to explore the power structure of a relationship.
