But even in his cornered panic, he was no 51 for the two athletic men.Reggie Miller, a worker of the local newspaper, heard the screams, too.

Professor Deborah Tanmen of Georgetown University has noticed the difference in the style of boys' and girls' conversations from an early age. She says that little girls' conversation is less definite than boys' and expresses more doubts. Little boys use conversation to establish status with their listeners.These differences continue into adult life, she says. In public conversations, men talk most and interrupt other speakers more. In private conversations, men and women speak in equal amounts ---- although they say things in a different style. Professor Tannen believes that, for women, private talking a way to establish and test intimacy(亲近，亲密). For men, private talking is a way to explore the power structure of a relationship.Teaching is one job where the differences between men's and women's ways of talking show.When a man teaches a woman, says Professor Tannen, he wants to show that he has more knowledge, and hence (因此，所以）more power in conversation. When a womanteaches another woman, however, she is more likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her student to join in.But Professor Tannen does not believe that women are naturally more helpful. She says women feel they achieve power by being able to help others. Although the research suggests men talk and interrupt people more than women, Professor Tannen says, women actually encourage this to happen because they believe it will lead to more intimacy and help to establish a relationship.Some scientists who are studying speech think that the brain is pre-programmed for language. As we are usually taught to speak by women, it seems likely that the brain must have a sexual bias(倾向性）in its programming, otherwise male speech patterns阅读表达Good sleep is needed for good health. During sleep, your body repairs itself. Your immune system is built up. Don't shortchange yourself of the sleep you need. Here are some of an expert's tips for getting a good night's sleep.1. Make sure your room is dark. Pull down the shades. Let no light of any kind in.2. Before you go to sleep, ask your family not to turn on a light. Light breaks the sleep rhythm. Once broken, it's hard to get the sleep clock running right. As a result, you will not sleep well. You will wake up tired.3. A hot bath just before bed is good. It makes you relax. You are at peace. This starts the desire for sleep.4. During the day, get some exercise. Even a mild program will show good results. How about a good long walk? This will get your body to work. You will find that toward evening you will get that nice, tired feeling. _________________________. Added to5. Here is what to do when you get up. Open the shades or blinds.
