27、the New York Times. His common job is to use information to tell interesting stories. In December 2013, Katz built a quiz on the Times website. It asked people about the words they use to describe things and events. It also asked how they pronounced common words. The quiz then used peoples answers t
28、o decide where in the United States they were from.The quiz got more than 350, 000 results. Katz turned the results into a book. In Speaking American, he studies regional(区域的 ) differences in how Americans talk.“A lot of people s language shows who they are and where they are from, in a very persona
29、l way” Katz said.Katz says people are often surprised to learn that the way they talk can show where they grew up. Most Americans dont realize the use regionalisms -or words and phrases specific to a particular part of the country. But just about everyone does. Almost every major U.S. city has a few
30、 unique terms. For example, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the night before Halloween is known as Mischief Night. Anyone who calls it that is likely to be connected to the city. Katz himself was surprised by how many common words are regional. “There are a lot of words I use that I just thought were
31、 standard words, “he says. “Then I found out some of these words were actually a product of my upbringing(养育 ).”For example, he says, “I thought everyone said sneakers(运动鞋) and not tennis shoes.“ But it turns out sneakers is connected mostly to the Northeast. That s where Katz is from.Some scholars
32、think that language in the U.S. is growing more homogeneous(同类的). But Katz disagrees. “These regional differences are here to stay” he says.Not only are people still using common regionalisms, but there are new ones appearing all the time, according to Katz. Theres no way to predict how language wil
33、l change in the future. But Katz sees more change coming. “The only sure thing about language is that its going to keep moving,” he says29. What s the purpose of the quiz?A. To test people on common knowledge.B. To find out what words are mostly used.C To help people learn about their hometown bette
34、rD. To see whether peoples language shows their backgrounds30. How do most Americans look at their using regionalisms?A. They are proud of it.B. They do it unintentionally.C.

37、hen groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. Men can either talk or watch the screen -they cant do both-and they dont understand that women can. Besides, women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and devel
38、op relationships-not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle(微妙的,细微的) body language signals that
39、show how the characters are feeling emotionally. Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships. For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build rel
40、ationships and make friends. For men, to talk is to relate the facts.Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a means of bonding(黏合). A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girl friend and talk for another two h
41、ours.There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning(训练，熏陶), the fact that girls mothers talked to them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr. Michael Lewis, author of Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to
42、and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents respond to the brain bias(偏好) of their children. Since a girls brain is better organized to send and receive speech, we therefore talk to them more. Consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually
43、disappointed to receive only short grunts(嘟哝声) in reply.33. While watching TV with others, women usually talk a lot because they _.A. are afraid of uncomfortable silence with their families and friendsB. can both talk and watch the screen at the same timeC. think they can have a good time and develo
