听力原文： There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just to give children something to do.
In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers. (33)This is true because boys and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult World.
(34)What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics and technology. It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, America, China, Japan and among the Arctic people, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. (35)Variations depended on local customs and ways of life because toys imitate their surroundings. Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles.

It is their【C7】 for talking. Women together in a car yield【C8】 ______ this need and when they talk they look into each other's faces. Simple words are【C9】______
It is necessary for them to see the expression which【C10】______ the words and so read the meaning the words left unsaid.【C11】______ two women in the front of a car repeatedly【C12】______ each other's attention from the road, and four represent an incredible danger【C13】______ the one nominally driving the car feels it necessary to see and hear not only what her companion is talking about but also, such is her【C14】______ , what those in the back are discussing in case it is anything【C15】______ which she can inject and add opinion, or in the hope of collecting fresh fuel to feed other fires on later【C16】______ .
Another factor is that women seldom use the driving mirror except for【C17】______ purposes, after which its position gives the driver little【C18】______ of the state of the road behind.
