READING COMPREGENTION
The Difference Between Men And Women
Although there is a great deal of variation within each gender, on the average men and women
discuss a surprisingly different range of topics. According to some studies, women and men ranging
in age from seventeen to eighty described the range of topics each discussed with friends of the
same sex. Certain topics were common to both men and women: work, movies, and television
proved to be frequent topics for both groups. The differences between men and women were more
striking than the similarities. Female friends spent much more time discussing personal and
domestic subjects, relationship problems, family, health and reproductive matters, weight, food and
clothing. Men, on the other hand, were more likely to discuss music, current events, sports and
business. Women were more likely to gossip about close friends and family. By contrast,

men spent more time gossiping about sports figures and media personalities.

Insects

that many species exist today in much the same form as they did 200 million years
ago. Their enormous biological success is attributed to their small size, and the
remarkable adaptive abilities of the group as a whole, shown by the enormous
variety in body structure and way of life. The mouth parts may be adapted to
chewing, sucking or lapping and the legs for running, jumping or swimming. Insects
may feed on plants or prey upon other small animals or parasitize larger ones; they
may be omnivorous or highly specialized in their diets. They display a remarkable
variety of adaptive shapes and colors that may serve either as camouflage or as
