Some people deeply believe that international sport promotes goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together peacefully. Others argue that the worldwide competitions encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but during recent years the Olympic Games have done little to back up the view that sport encourages international brotherhood. Not only was there the miserable incident including the murder of athletes, but also the Games were ruined by incidents caused mainly by smaller national contests.One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey(曲棍球 ) final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey game, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were sure that one of their targets should not have been disallowed and that their opponent’s victory was unfair. Their manager was in great anger when he said, "This isn’t hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished." Later an official words came out. "Such behavior could give rise to the suspension of the team for at least three years," said the president of the Federation.Incidents of this sort will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the passion of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism(爱国主义). According to the author, the recent Olympic Games have ().
A. promoted kindness between the different nations
B. brought only false national pride
C. resulted in more and more misunderstanding and hatred
D. hardly showed any international friendship
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.
