2. Read the following passage, then answer the questions:

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.
