B.或许正是我们的男女社会观念加深了女人比男人话多这一模式化印象,甚至导致这些不同沟通方式的出现。如果一个女人真的在别人说话时插嘴,她或许会被认为是话多,或许会为此受到批评,因为我们的文化---还有其他许多文化---如此教导女性:她们如果想要有女人味就必须文静。或许男性文化鼓励男孩和男人支配谈话并且更经常打断谈话,而且健谈和频繁打断话头的男性不会为此受到批评。研究性别对交流所产生的作用的专家们针对沟通模式和沟通风格方面的这些差异进行探究,以便了解在男女对话中为什么会产生误解。误解的产生常常是因为他们的对话风格和方式存在极大的差异。为了能学会更好地和异性交流,我们有必要认识这些差异。

Last, women with amaster’s degree earn $35,018a year while menwith thesame degree earn more:$47,260 ayearon average.As we can see here,the more one learns, themoreone earns.

Task 2

This bargraphshows howfrequently people use their cellul ar phones to communicatewith others. Eachbarrepresents a p articular groupof people withwhom cellularphone users communicate.Startingfromthefirst bar ontheleft,we see that 73% of cellular phone users use theirmobile phone tocom municate withfriends orfamily.Then, movingto theright, we see48% of cellularphone users use their phone to commu nicate withtheir co-workers, 39%with other business associa tes, 31%with customers and 11%with others.As we cansee, the cellular phone ismostfrequently usedbypeopleas ameans of conveying personal orprivate messages. As a communicat ion tool, the cellularphoneis muchsafer and convenient com pared with the desk telephone.It can be used almost anytime and anywhere. Andwith itsreducedsellingprices and cost, the cell ular phone will become more andmore popular.

ng to otherpeople talking.Theyhaveto use their listenin gskills effectively whilethey areat meeting,having discussions, on the phone,ortakinginstructions. The secondmost important communication skill isspeaking. People atwork often have to talk to others. For example, they have to talkto their boss, supervisors, colleagues and customers. Reading and writing skillsarealsoimportant.In order to keeppace with the latest developmentsandup-to-date information inone’s field,one has to read extensively:books, journals,magazines,newspapers and information onthe Internet. Writingis importantat work as well. Jobsinvolving research papers,memos, reports,etc. allrequire effectivewriting skills.

As wecan see,during aten-yearperiodof time, thenumberof HIV-infected children rosefrom 250 in 1985to6,700 in1995.Inotherwords,thenumberofHIV-i nfected children under12 increased by almost 3,000%, or nearly30 times overaten-year periodof timeandduring th esame period of time 3,811children diedof Aids.Thisis a h eartbreakingfact, and in the majorityofcases children ac quire HIV from their infected motherduring pregnancy,lab our, delivery or,after birth, through breastfeeding. Also,a small numberofchildrenacquire HIVinfection as aresult of receiving unscreened infectedblood orbloodproducts.

Therefore, the mosteffectiveway to reduce the number of chi ldrenwho become infected with HIV is to prevent HIV infection in parents-to-be. Thisrequires strengthening offamily-planningservice. Ofcourse,healtheducation isalso veryimportant. Peopleneed to know that childrencan becomeinfected with HIV. Atthe sametimemore care andsupport shouldbe given to theHIV-infected children sothat they canlivea longer and better life.
