    The differences between men and women clarify why they have different expectations about communication in marriage. For women, talk【C1】________ intimacy. Marriage is an orgy (狂欢) of closeness: you can tell your feelings and thoughts, and still be loved. Women’s greatest【C2】________ is being pushed away. But men live in a hierarchical world, where talk maintains independence and status. They are on【C3】________ to protect themselves from being put down and pushed around.
    This【C4】________ the paradox of the talkative man who said of his silent wife, "She’s the talker."
    In【C5】________ settings, he feels challenged to show his intelligence and【C6】________ his understanding. But at home, where he has nothing to prove and no one to defend against, he is free to remain silent. For his wife, being home means she is【C7】________ from the worry that something she says might offend someone, or spark disagreement, or appear to be showing off; at home she is free to talk.
