When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. Men can either talk or watch the screen---they can't do both---and they don't understand that women can. Besides , women think that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships--not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.\nDuring the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot(the story that is told in a novel or play or movie etc.) and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the small body language signals that show how the characters are feeling emotionally . Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully because they want to keep relationships. For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For men, to talk is to connect to the facts.\nMen see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a way of keeping relationship. A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.\nThere is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls' mothers talked them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr. Michael Lewis, author ofSocial Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at baby girls more often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents reply to the brain differences of their children. Since a girl's brain is better organized to send and receive speech, we talk to them more. As a result, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short complaints in reply.\n\n<question>:\nWhile watching TV with others, women usually talk a lot because they _ .\n\n<options>:\nA are afraid of silence with their families and friends\nB can both talk and watch the screen at the same time\nC think they can have a good time and develop relationships\nD have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands\n\n<answer>:\n",

When we have a talk with someone, we may use more body language than words. However, the same body language may mean different things in different countries. That's why people sometimes do not understand each other correctly. Pointing to one part of the body can mean differently in different cultures. For example, in the USA people point to their heads when they think someone is clever. However, in Europe it means \"He or she is stupid or something is wrong with his or her head\" .In China, nodding heads means \"Yes\" and shaking heads means \"No\". However, in parts of Greece and Turkey, they mean just the opposite. In England or the USA, when you raise your hand and make a circle with the thumb and the second finger, it means \"Everything is OK.\" However, if you do this in France or Belgium, it means \"You're worth zero.\" In Greece or Turkey, you should not make this gesture, or you are thought to be very rude.\nThe meaning of gestures can also change over time. In the 1960s, the V sign meant \"peace\". However, during World War II, it meant \"victory\".

I also advise you to keep your ear to the ground. This means to be interested in what is happening around you and what people are thinking.\nAnother expression about ear is to play it by ear. Someone is able to play a song or a piece of music by remembering the tune and not by reading the music.\nThere are many other expressions about different parts of our body.\nFor example, if someone is playing a joke on you, you can say, \"You are pulling my leg. \" And to turn your hand to something means to begin to do something.
