Here is a question. Who talks more, women or men The seemingly contradictory(相矛盾的 ) proof is shown by the difference between what I call public and private speaking. Much more males feel comfortable when playing the "public speaking" ,while much more females feel comfortable with the "private speaking". Another method of realizing these differences is by using the terms report-talk and rapport-talk.For most women, the language of conversation is basically a language of rapport(友好 ).a method of setting up connections and relationships. What’s more, emphasis is placed on showing similarities and matching experiences. From childhood, girls blame their fellows and try to stand out or appear better than others. Mankind feel their closest connections at home, or in surroundings where they feel at home during private speaking. But even the most public situations can be tackled with like private speaking.While for most men, talk is primarily a way to keep up independence and position in a hierarchical(等级的) social order. This is done by exhibiting knowledge and skill, and by holding center stage through language performance such as story-telling, joking, or giving information. When they are kids, boys learn to use talking as a way to get and keep attention. So they are more comfortable talking in larger groups made up of people they know less well in the broadest sense, which is called "public speaking". But even the most private situations can be processed like public speaking, more like giving a report than setting up rapport. What’s the main idea of the passage().

A. Women talk more than men.
B. Men and women talk in such comfortable ways.
C. The difference between public speaking and private speaking.
D. The favorite way men and women tend to use in talking.

Bob, what’s your viewM: Parents should make sure that the equipment in playground is safe and that children are playing safely. Last year the national programme for playground safety gave the nation’s playground a grade of "C" for safety after visiting more than 3,000 playgrounds nationwide. Parents should watch closely.

Once they feel that sense of security, that’s when they can be creative.W: We hope our children can enjoy a safe world. What is the main cause of playground injuries().

听下面一段对话,回答第22至第25题。For 25 years I was a full-time thief, specializing in picking pockets. Where I come from is southeast London, that’s an honorable profession. Anyone can break into a house and steal things. But picking somebody’s pocket takes skill. My sister and I were among the most successful pickpocket teams in London. We worked in hotels and theatre lobbies, airports, shopping centers, restaurants. Now we don’t steal anymore, but this crime is worldwide. Here is how to protect yourself:Professional pickpockets do not see victims, only handbags, jewels and money. Mothers with babies, the elderly, the disabled are all fair games. My preferred target was the lonely female, handbag at her side, the right side to be exact. So if I’m next to her I can reach it cautiously with my right hand across my body. Only about one woman in a thousand carries her bag on the left, and I tended to steer clear of them. Women whose bags are hanging in front of them are tricky for the pickpocket, as there isn’t a blind side. If you want to make it even harder, use a bag with handles rather than a strap. For men, one of the best places to keep a wallet is in the back pocket of tight trousers. You’ll feel any attempts to move it. Another good place is in the buttoned-up inside pocket of a jacket. There’s just no way in. Even better, keep wallets attached to a cord or chain that is fastened to a belt.A pickpocket needs targets who are relaxed and off guard. The perfect setting is clothing store. When customs wander among the racks, they are completely absorbed in the items they hold up. The presence of a uniformed security guard is even better. A false sense of security makes a pickpocket’s job much simpler. Why does the speaker think highly of picking somebody’s pocket as an honorable job in southeast London().

A. It needs skill.
B. It can earn a lot of money.
C. It can help you arrange your daily schedule.
D. It’s a widely respectable job in the world.
