Question 12 – 14
Dolphins are regarded as the friendliest creatures in the sea and stories of them helping
drowning sailors have been common since Roman times. The more we learn about dolphins,
the more we realize that their society is more complex than people previously imagined. They
look after other dolphins when they are ill, care for pregnant mothers and protect the weakest
in the community, as we do. Some scientists have suggested that dolphins have a language
but it is much more probable that they communicate with each other without needing words.
Could any of these mammals be more intelligent than man? Certainly the most common
argument in favor of man’s superiority over them that we can kill them more easily than they
can kill us is the least satisfactory. On the contrary, the more we discover about these
remarkable creatures, the less we appear superior when we destroy them.

than they can kill us
A. Means that they are better adapted to their environment than we are
B. Shows that dolphins have a very sophisticated form of communication
C. Proves that dolphins are not the most intelligent species at sea
D. Does not mean that we are superior to them
Although there is a great deal of variation within each gender, on the average, men and
women discuss a surprisingly different range of topics. According to some studies, women
and men ranging in age from seventeen to eighty described the range of topics each discussed
with friends of the same sex. Certain topics were common to both men and women; work,
movies, and television proved to be frequent topics for both groups. The differences between
men and women were more striking than the similarities. Female friends spent much more
time discussing personal and domestic subjects, relationship problems, family, health and
reproductive matters, weight, food and clothing. Men, on the other hand, were more likely to
discuss music, current events, sports and business. Women were more likely to gossip about
close friends and family. By contrast, men spent more time gossiping about sports figures and
media personalities. These differences can lead to frustration when men and women try to
converse with one another
