Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word
for each of the questions from 35 to 44.
Who talk more – men or women? Most people believe that women talk more However, linguist Deborah
Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women, says that this is a stereotype According to
Tannen, women are more verbal – talk more in private situations , where they use conversation as the “glue” to
hold relationships together But, she says, men talk more in public situations, where they use conversation to
exchange information and gain status Tannen points out that we can see these differences even in children Little
girls often play with one “best friend”, their play includes a lot of conversation Little boys often play games in
groups; their play usually involves more doing than talking In school, girls are often better at verbal skills, boys
are often better at mathematics.
A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference Researchers studied
conversation between children age 3-6 and their parents They found evidence that parents talk very differently to
their sons than they to their daughters The startling conclusion was that parents use more language with their
girls Specifically, when parents talk with their daughters, they use more descriptive language and more details.
There is also far more talk about emotions, especially sadness, with daughters than with sons

Most forms of property are concrete and tangible, such as houses, cars, furniture or anything else that is
included in one’s possessions Other forms of property can be intangible, and copyright deals with intangible
forms of property Copyright is a legal protection extended to authors of creative works, for example, books,
magazine articles, maps, films, plays, television shows, software, paintings, photographs, music, choreography in
dance and all other forms of intellectual or artistic property.
Although the purpose of artistic property is usually public use and enjoyment, copyright establishes the
ownership of the creator When a person buys a copyrighted magazine, it belongs to this individual as a tangible
object However, the authors of the magazine articles own the research and the writing that went into creating the
articles The right to make and sell or give away copies of books or articles belongs to the authors, publishers, or
other individuals or organizations that hold the copyright To copy an entire book or a part of it, permission must
be received from the copyright owner, who will most likely expect to be paid.
Copyright law distinguishes between different types of intellectual property Music may be played by anyone
after it is published However, if it is performed for profit, the performers need to pay a fee, called a royalty A
similar principle applies to performances of songs and plays On the other hand, names, ideas, and book titles are
excepted Ideas not become copyrighted property until they are published in a book, a painting or a musical
work Almost all artistic work created before the 20th century is not copyrighted because it was created before
the copyright law was passed.
The two common ways of infringing upon the copyright are plagiarism and piracy Plagiarizing the work of
another person means passing it off as one’s own The word plagiarism is derived from the Latin plagiarus, which
means “abductor” Piracy may be an act of one person, but, in many cases, it is a joint effort of several people
who reproduce copyrighted material and sell it for profit without paying royalties to the creator Technological
innovations have made piracy easy and anyone can duplicate a motion picture on videotape, a computer program,
or a book Video cassette recorders can be used by practically anyone to copy movies and television programs,
and copying software has become almost as easy as copying a book Large companies zealously monitor their
copyrights for slogans, advertisements, and brand names, protected by a trademark.
