问题     A considerable amount of work in linguistics has gone in looking【S1】______
at the distribute of talk between women and men, and there is some【S2】______
evidence that men intend to talk more than women in mixed sex【S3】______
conversations. Scholars have suggested that the reason why it is
accepted that women are talkative sex is that the amount they talk is【S4】______
not comparing with the amount that men talk, but with silence,【S5】______
arguing that in fact silence is the preferred state for women in a
patriarchal society. There is certainly some support for the hypothesis
at least in our dramatic heritage: Some of Shakespeare’s characters
implicitly regard silence in women as a virtue. Coriolanus, for【S6】______
example, greets his wife as " My gracious silence, hail!" King
Lear grieves on his daughter Cordelia, and praises her quiet voice:【S7】______
" Her voice was ever soft, / Gentle and low — an excellent thing in a
woman". According to some further researches, for the part of some
contemporary woman playwrights, the issue of women’s rights to【S8】______
speak in drama has been handled skillfully. Female characters who
appear strong in plays generally achieve their appearance of strength
by manipulating the kinds of discourse they use, and adapt the【S9】______
stereotypes of masculine and feminine behaviors to serve their own【S10】______
ends.
【S5】
