Rather than talk about how he feels, often a man would express his love by buying the woman cosmetics (化妆品), or bringing home a flower, or giving up the control of the remote (遥控器).

And when men do talk, they’d prefer to talk about actions rather than emotions. For example, a lot of men would choose to express their long-range faith in a relationship by talking about next summer’s vacation plans, not by starting a conversation about undying love.

Men just prefer to say their plans with plane tickets, rather than poetry. It’s one of the reasons why men are more comfortable talking at work (the practical world) than they are at home (the castle that emotion built). But you can bring out his great communicator by making him feel more like he’s operating in the work mode, even when the topic at hand is your love life.

When men talk less and women want more, the conflict can escalate. Like when a policeman is questioning an unwilling witness, more silence equals more questions. A full 65 percent of men we surveyed recently told us that they don’t want their partners to ask them more questions about themselves.

It’s clear that some men are just tired of feeling like they’re on the witness stand. They’re not necessarily hiding anything; many men simply prefer not to have to tell confusing feelings that they may not even understand themselves.

An age-old method can make things better: back off a little, give him room to operate in a conversation, and he’s more likely to open up.

1.According to the author, men feel more comfortable when talking ________.

A．actions                               B．feelings

A．They may give men a surprise by buying plane tickets.

B．They can ask men if they have a great time during working.

C．They might create a warm home environment first of all.

D．They can give men the feeling that they are talking at work.

3.The underlined word “escalate” has the similar meaning to________.

A．decrease          B．disappear         C．change           D．increase

4.From the text it can be inferred that________.

A．women are better at writing poems about emotions than men

B．it is natural for women to be fond of finding the faults of men

Most British people prefer to live in a house rather than a flat and one of the reasons is that houses usually have gardens. The garden is a place where people can be outside and yet private.

If a house has a front and back garden, the front is likely to be formal(正规的) and decorative(装饰性的), with a lawn (an area of grass) or fancy flower borders. The back garden usually also has a lawn and flower beds, and sometimes a vegetable plot(菜地) fruit trees. There’s often a bird table, on which food is put for birds, and a small simple house in which garden tools are kept.

Many British people spend quite a lot of money on their gardens and even the smallest may contain different kinds of flowers and plants. For them gardening is a hobby and they take pride in their gardens. Some towns and villages have competitions for the best-kept small garden. People with a small garden, or no garden at all, can rent a piece of land, on which most grow vegetables.

There are garden centers near most towns, selling everything a gardener might need, from flower pots to fish ponds as well as many types of plants.

The British interest in gardening affects the appearance of whole towns. Public parks and some roads often have bright displays of flowers in summer and public buildings have windows boxes(窗口花坛) and hanging baskets. Towns and villages enter for the Britain in Bloom competition every year.

1. According to paragraph 2, a back garden _________.

A．is also formal

B．has flower beds

C．doesn’t have a lawn

D．has beautiful flower borders

2.What do we know about garden centers?

A．They are in the centre of the town.

B．Each town has a garden center.

C．Gardeners can buy tools there.

D．They have gardens for rent.

3.From the last paragraph we know that _________.

A．gardening improves the appearance of British towns

B．British parks are full of flowers all year round

C．the British interest in gardening is decreasing

D．Britain in Bloom is a worldwide competition
