A
Women don’t talk more than men. Really, they don’t. Women speak 20,000 words a day, compared to the average man’s 7,000. But a study published recently denies this old rule. Both men and women use about 16,000 words a day, says the new research in Science magazine. “It’s been a common belief, but it just didn’t fit,” says James Pennebaker, the researcher of the seven-year study. Pennebaker and his colleagues analyzed (分析) recorded conversations of 396 university students age 18 to 29 in the USA and Mexico, including 210 women and 186 men. The study didn’t look at vocabulary or word use, but rather word count. Pennebaker says two-thirds of participants spoke 11,000 to 25,000 words a day, with the average for both sexes about 16,000 words. The finding may seem surprising in a popular culture where women are often thought of as talkative and men as silent.
Most recently, psychiatrist (精神病学家) Louann Brizendine used the 20,000 and 7,000 comparison in her 2006 book The Female Brain, as evidence for brain differences. After the book came out in August, the data was widely reused. “That hits a nerve (神经). It’s been surprising to me that this little point is the point people pick out,” says Brizendine. But experts in neurolinguistics(神经语言学) thought that the data was uncertain. Mark Liberman, a linguistics professor at the University of Pennsylvania, says that after

B. It is open during winter.
Brizendine’s book came out, he tried to find evidence to support her claim, but failed. 21. According to the new research in Science magazine, how many words do women use a week?
A. 140,000. B. 47,000. C. 112,000. D. 28, 000.
22. What did Pennebaker and his colleagues focus on in their study? A. The use of words. B. The structures people used.
C. The speed of speaking words. D. The number of words people used.
23. We can know the comparison used in The Female Brain was ______. A. seldom reused by others
B. accepted as a truth by most scientists C. considered untrue by most scientists
D. considered as evidence for sex brain similarities
24. It can be inferred from the passage that at the beginning, Mark Liberman ______. A. succeeded in finding the evidence to support Brizendine’s claim B. didn’t believe Brizendine’s data in her 2006 book The Female Brain C. thought Brizendine’s data in her 2006 book The Female Brain was true
D. cared little about Brizendine’s claim in her 2006 book The Female Brain

Football, to me, is more than just a game. I have probably learned more valuable lessons from it than from school.
When I joined the team freshman year, I didn’t realize what I was getting into. Even though I had been playing since fourth grade and knew it was hard work, nothing would prepare me for the effort I would put into football that year. We worked all summer in the weight room and ran on the track to get in physical and mental shape before the season. See, football is more of a mental sport than anything else, so running on the track wasn’t only about getting in shape. We would push our minds by running as hard as we could even if we were going to pass out. At the beginning, I was immature（幼稚） and only thought of myself, sometimes even gave up when I was tired or hurt. Then after the third game I had a season-ending injury. Imagine working all summer and then only being able to play three games! I needed surgery on my arm and at least five months to recover.
Needless to say, I missed the rest of the season, but this actually helped me realize that since you never know when your last play will be, you should try your hardest in football and life.
After freshman year I decided that I would always give my best effort. Playing varsity(校队的) football has taught me so much more than just what my assignments are on a particular play or how to block. I have learned to think about others first, and realized how important working hard is. Being with all my friends, even sweating and bleeding with them, really made us bond as a group of hard-working young men who I know will succeed in life. 25. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. What sport the author likes best. B. When the author began to play football. C. How the author dislikes the game of football. D. How the author has changed his attitude to football.
26. In the third paragraph, the underlined phrase “getting in shape” probably means “______”.
A. becoming healthy
B. losing weight
D. measuring the track
5
C. designing the playground
