    Usually, most women cannot keep a secret for longer than 47 hours, a new study shows. The study found that women like to tell others gossip(闲言碎语) as soon as they hear it. They will tell at least one other person in 47 hours and 15 minutes. They may tell their boyfriend, husband, best friend or mother the information at first.

    3,000 women age between 18 and 65 took part in this study. The study found that four out of ten said that they couldn’t keep a secret. It also found that wine usually gave them a help hand to speak out secrets.

    Usually English ladies heard three pieces of gossip a week, and they would tell at least one person. Six in ten said they would tell someone who had nothing to do with the secret, so the person about the secret couldn’t know. Three in ten said they had ideas to speak out the secret. Nearly half(45%) of them spoke out the secrets just for losing their pressure. However, two thirds of them said that they felt sorry after they passed on secrets. Three quarters of them said they could keep quiet about a secret. But over a quarter(27%) said they always forgot what they heard the following day.

    41. The passage mainly tells us that ______.

       A. women can live longer than men

       B. women can keep a secret for longer time than men

       C. women are good at cooking than men

       D. women are not good at keeping a secret

    42. A woman will pass on a secret in ______.

       A. less than 47 hours                               B. more than three days

    Some British and American people like to invite friends for a meal at home. You should not be upset（不安的）if your English friends don’t invite you home. It doesn’t mean they don’t like you. Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 p.m. and end at about 11. Ask your hosts（主人）what time you should arrive. It’s polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift. Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks（小吃）. If you want to be extra polite, say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember－it’s not polite to ask how much things cost. In many families, the husband sits at one of the table and the wife sits at the other end. They eat with their guests. You’ll probably start the meal with soup or something small, then you’ll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then dessert（甜点心）, followed by coffee. It’s polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it. Did you enjoy the evening? Call your hosts the next day, or write them a short “thank you” letter. British and American people like to say “thank you, thank, thank you” all the time!

    In 50 years of traveling, Colin McCorpuodale has visited every country in the world except three. And everywhere he goes, he sends himself a postcard. He always chooses a postcard with beautiful scenery (风景). Usually he writes just a short message to himself. However, he wrote an interesting story on his latest one, from the Malians Island.
    Mr. McCorpuodale lives in London. On one of the walls in his room, you can see a large map of the world. There are hundreds of little red pins (大头针) stuck in it. “These pins mean a lot to me.” says Mr. McCorpuodale, “I follow the rule. I’m allowed to stick one in only if I’ve been in a place for more than 24 hours.”
