(Reactivos 6-15) READING: Read the article and choose A, B, or C.
We all
know that men and women have their differences. But do they really think differently? Some people
might argue that they don’t, but I disagree. In my opinion, men and women still behave in the
same way that they were designed to centuries ago. We have different interests, different ways of
speaking, of showing how we feel, and of coping with stressful situations.
In
today’s society, where the sexes are considered to be equal, we sometimes forget how different
we are. This can have a negative effect on our relationships. We often become angry or frustrated
with the opposite sex because we expect them to behave and communicate like we do.
So why does a
man behave as he does? There is evidence to suggest that men were programmed with the instinct to
hunt silently for animals. They had to be able to focus their attention on one thing. This might
explain why it’s so difficult to have a conversation with a man when he’s watching TV!
And also why he’s so good at reading maps and giving directions.
Why does a woman act the
way she does? Women are usually very good at multi-tasking (doing more than one job at once), but
often find it harder than men to concentrate fully on one thing. In the past, women would have worked
in groups, which required a lot of communication, so they’re generally more talkative and
sensitive to other people’s feelings. A woman can return from a party knowing everything about
everyone, but a man will probably have discussed less personal topics like football.
Research has
shown that men and women use different parts of their brains for language. Women usually score higher
in writing tests. Men are seven times more likely to score in the top 5% in scientific exams.
They’re often talented at problem-solving and making quick decisions, whilst women are good at
organization, comforting, and giving advice.
Of course,
women still do dangerous sports, and men can multi-task without any problem after a strong cup of
coffee! I’m not saying that women and men are not equal; it’s just that there are some
natural differences – and that’s fantastic! We should appreciate and accept them as being
what makes us special.
