READING: Read this article and do tasks A and B 5 x 0.2 = 1 mark

Love stories generally build up to a romantic climax and then end, leaving us with the impression that the couple lived happily ever after. Sadly, the reality is rarely as rosy as this.

In the first flush of love nothing much matters beyond being together - no sacrifice is too great if it helps you spend more time with the person whose mere presence intoxicates you. But

when the intoxication starts to wear off, as it does unfortunately, little misunderstandings start occurring, causing friction, irritation, long cold silences or angry rows.

Why is there this friction between men and women? John Gray thinks he knows the answer. The root cause of the problem, apparently, is that men and women don't understand just how

different they are emotionally. Men and women respond to problems in very different ways and consequently have very different emotional needs. When people insist on their own needs and
fail to properly appreciate the needs of their partners there is bound to be friction.

Whereas women want to talk and talk about their problems, men withdraw into the caves of their mind to focus on solving the problem. A man's self-esteem is built on a sense of how
competent he is, so he feels he must develop the skills to solve his problems on his own. Asking for help or idly expressing how terrible you feel is perceived as an admission of weakness

and incompetence. Rather than looking for understanding, men want their partners to admire them for the way they achieve their goals.

Task A Complete the phrases 1 to 3 with the corresponding ending a to e according to the text. There are two extra endings.
B B

1 Romantic love a even though they are emotionally very similar.
