听力原文： Sam had worked 30 years for the same company and now he had to retire. As a sign of gratitude, the company held a dinner in his honor. "Sam," announced his boss, "it is my great honor to present this gift to you on behalf of the company." Sam walked down to the front of the table and accepted the gift with pride. It was a gold watch and on it was written "To faithful Sam for 30 years of service," Sam wept. "I am at a loss for words." When Sam got back home, his wife looked at the gold watch critically. "For this you worked 30 years？ A cheap gold-plated watch？" "It's the thought, dear," answered Sam. "The important thing is that I am not working any more." His wife held the gold watch to her ear and said. "Neither is your watch."

These differences continue into adult life. In public conversations, men talk more and interrupt other speakers more. In private conversations, men and women speak in equal amounts, although they say things in a different style. For women, private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy. 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, he wants to show that he has more knowledge, and hence more power in conversation. He uses his language to show this. When a woman teaches another woman, however, she is more likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her student to join in.
But it doesn't suggest that women are naturally more helpful. Actually, women feel they achieve power by being able to help others.

听力原文： The National Center for Education Statistics did its latest research and found that more than one million American students learned at home. That was more than two percent of the school-age population.
The report said the number of home-schooled students had increased. In 1999, about 850,000 students were considered home-schooled. This meant they were taught at home instead of at school for at least part of their education. The students' time spent in public or private schools could not be more than twenty-five hours a week. Michael Viscardi, for example, has been taught mostly at home, but with advanced math classes at a local university.
The researchers asked parents why they home-schooled their children. 31% said the most important reason was concern about the environment of the local schools. 30% said it was to provide religious instruction. 16% said they were not satisfied with the quality of the instruction in the local schools.
Critics of home-schooling say children need to attend school to help them learn social skills. They also say that some home-schooled children do not get a very good education. Still, all fifty states and the District of Columbia permit home-schooling. But some require more parent preparation or student testing than other states do.
