Women are quite often competent drivers, but they are very seldom consistently first-class. At best they are a mild hazard, at worst potentially lethal. A wise male driver will always give them plenty of road and still be on the look-out for the unpredictable to happen. This deficiency has nothing to do with their lack of ability to cope with the mechanical complexities of the vehicle; it is due to an inherent, characteristic which, in certain other circumstances, may be highly desirable, but which, behind the wheel, is deadly. It is their lust for talking. Women together in a car succumb to this need and when they talk they look into each other’s faces. Simple words are insufficient. It is necessary for them to see the expression of their partners and so read the meaning the words leave unsaid. When talking instead of listening, they look to estimate the reaction their words have had. Thus two women in the front of a car repeatedly distract each other’s attention from the road and represent an incredible danger because the one nominally driving the car feels it necessary not only to see and hear what her companion is talking about but also, such is her nature, what those in the back are discussing in case it is anything into which she can inject an added opinion, or in the hope of collecting fresh fuel to feed other fires on later occasions.
Quite apart from this factor, which means that the road ahead is often an unknown quantity, women seldom use the driving mirror except for cosmetic purposes ,after which its position gives the driver little indication of the state of the road behind. A final important factor that seems to lie at the back of feminine attitudes to driving is that comparatively few women have the feel for a machine that so many men have; the satisfaction of a slick changedown means nothing to them. The co-ordination between the various manoeuvres, an operation which gives many men a boost of pride, is only a momentary lapse in their concentration on the topic in hand.
When women talk ,they ______.
选项
A、glare at each other.
B、don’t look at each other
C、try to understand each other’s thought
D、mean more than they say to their partners
答案
C
解析
由题干women talk可定位到第一段第六、七句,当女人们谈话时,她们喜欢看着彼此,试图猜测出她们未说出来的话的含义,明白彼此在想什么,因此选[C],同时排除[A]、[B]。并非女人间的每次谈话都会有言外之意,因此排除[D]。
