READINGPassage 1Read the passage carefully and choose the best parts to fill in the blanks What exactly is a tornado? The general picture is familiar enough. The phenomeno n usually occurs on a hot,sticky day with south wind and an ominous sky. From the base of a thunderhead, a funnel-shaped cloud extendsa violently twisting spout toward the Earth. As it sucks in matter in its path, the twister may turn black, brownor even white. The moving cloud shows an almost continuous display of sheet lightning . It lurches along i n ameandering path, usually northeast ward, at 25 to 40 miles per hour. Sometimes it picks up its finger from theearth for a short distance and then plants it down again. The funnel is very slender; its wake of violenceaverages about 400 yards wide. As the tornado approaches, it is heralded by a roar as a hundreds of jet planes orthousands of railroad cars. Its path is a path of total destruction. Buildings explode as they are sucked in by thetornado’s low-pressure vortex ( where the pressure drop is as much as 10 percent ) and by its powerful whirlingwinds ( estimated at up to 500 miles per hour ). The tornado’s lifetime is as brief as it is violent. Within a fewtens of miles ( average about 16 miles), it spends its force and suddenly disappears.1. Tornadoes usually occur on ………….. .

However, linguist DeborahTannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women , says that this is a stereotype . Accordingto 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 useconversation to exchange information and gain status. Tannen points out that we can see these differ ences evenin children. Little girls often play with one “best friend”, their play includes a lot of conversation. Little boysoften play games in groups; their play usually involves more doing than talking. In school, girls ar e often betterat 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 studiedconversation between children age 3-6 and their parents. They found evidence that parents talk very differentlyto their son than they do to their daughters. The startling conclusion wa s that parents use more language withtheir girls . Specifically, when parents talk with their daughters , they use more descriptive langu age and moredetails. There is also far more tal ...
