M: Ah, you may not realize you're working on a complicated philosophical issue.
W: I know exactly that men and women are different. They sometimes don't understand each other at all.
M: 1 agree. Men and women are interested in different topics when they are talking. Last weekend, John and I went to a ball game. When we're at the game, we talked about the players and what's going on in the game and nothing else. I think women wouldn't do that.
W: You bet! Yesterday, a friend and I sat at a caf6 and talked about nothing, and everything! Um…about my sister's new baby…and about when she could go back to work…and you know, who should take care of the baby… things like that.
M: When a woman talks with a man, [20] she'll often feel as though he wasn't really listening or that he wasn't really having a conversation, right?
W: Yeah, that sounds very familiar to me.
M: And I think a man doesn't understand what the woman really wants from him.
W: I guess he probably wonders "what's her point?", "where's this conversation going?"
M: To speak from experience, for a man, talking is generally more straightforward—it's about giving and getting facts. Men generally don't base their friendships on talking, but on doing—getting together with buddies, playing sports or hanging out.
W: Well, for me, [21] a best friend is someone I can be close with and talk to. I can talk with her in detail about everyday events in our lives. We share feelings and secrets. This offers a chance to better understand our world and ourselves.
(20)
A.Looking for a person to talk to.
B.Working on a troublemaking talking.
C.Trying to understand the two genders.
D.Trying to understand friendship between women.
Jane was worried. She had a job interview, and she wanted to look good. She decided to get some new clothes. The store owner, Pallas Hansen, helped Jane find a suit. But when she left the store, she didn't pay for the suit! How could Jane do this? She was in a special store called Career Closet in San Jose, California. Pallas Hansen and Charlotte Krumwiede started this nonprofit store to help women. They knew that many women don't find jobs because they don't have the right clothes for a job interview. Women who don't have a lot of money have to use their money to buy food and clothes for their children. They can't buy clothes for themselves. Pallas and Charlotte started the store in 1992 after they heard about a store like this in Chicago. Volunteers work in the store. Working women donate most of the clothes to the store. This makes it possible for the customers at Career Closet to get clothes for free. Career Closet has helped 2,500 San Jose women, but clothes aren't the only things women get at the store. They also get confidence. Jane is 36 years old. Her husband was hurt in an accident, and Jane needed a job to support her seven children. She went to Career Closet and got a jacket, a skirt, and a blouse. “The whole day made me feel special,” she said. Jane was a success at her interview, and she got the job. One reason why she got it was that she was wearing the right clothes for the workplace. Pallas says,” I love this job. Sixty percent of the women get jobs. It's like being a fairy god-mother.” 6. What do the women get besides clothes at Career Closet?
A、Confidence
B、Shoes
C、Money
D、Beauty

听力原文: A few months ago, [32] a team of interviewers were sent to schools to find out why children are prejudiced against science. Their answer provided this surprising picture of a typical scientist: they thought [33] a scientist is a rather dull person who spends all day working in a laboratory, wearing a white coat and making things that smell bad. They thought that scientists usually aren't very interesting and don't talk about anything but science. They don't play games well and they aren't attractive to the opposite sex. They also did not realize that women are as capable of becoming scientists as men.
On the other hand, [34] an art graduate is seen as a much livelier person. Arts graduates are thought to have a better sense of humor, to be interested in sports and pop music and to be considered attractive. When you understand these misconceptions which children have, it is only logical that most of them want to study arts rather than science.
(33)
A.Scientists.
B.Art graduates.
C.Children.
D.Women.
At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph. D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement—jobs, research papers, awards—was viewed through the lens of gender(性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus(相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture(培育) , I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.
Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations: I don't talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn't want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don't study sociology or political theory.
Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women's college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don't dismiss those concerns. Still, I don't tell them "war" stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that's a sight worth talking about.
Why doesn’t the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again?
A.She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields.
B.She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination.
C.She is not good at telling stories of the kind.
D.She finds space research more important.
