III. Read the passage and answer the questions:
Conversation
Some recent research into conversation between men and women has produced results
which will surprise few women. Men are always interrupting women when they talk. One
researcher feels that men regard female talk as a kind of conversational housework. They
expect women to play a supporting role. So a man interrupts in a display of dominance or
control. Men also have a much more unpleasant listening style. Whereas a woman uses
gestures or says “Mm”, a man will say such things as “right” or “OK”, thus, setting the
stage for an interruption.
Conversation of this kind is, then, hardly meaningful communication. Male talk is often
argumentative while women are more tentative, asking more questions and tending to
build up their replies on what the other person has said. The research would indicate that
women are better listeners than men. Yet, listening secretly to conversations between
groups of women, one has the impression of several simultaneous monologues into which
no man would be able to get a chance to speak.
