In Britain, greetings cards are sold in chain stores and supermarkets, in newsagents’ shops, corner
shops and, increasingly, in shops that specialize in the sale of cards and paper for wrapping presents in.
The most common cards are birthday and Christmas cards. Many Christmas cards are sold in aid of
charity and special ‘charity card shops’ are often set up in temporary premises in the weeks before
Christmas. A wide variety of birthday cards is available to cater for different ages and tastes. Some,
especially ones for young children or for people celebrating a particular birthday, have the person’s age
on the front. Many have comic, often risqué, messages printed on them, and cartoon-style illustrations.
Others are more sober, with reproductions of famous paintings or attractive original designs. The usual
greeting on a birthday card is ‘Happy Birthday’, ‘Many Happy Returns’ or ‘Best Wishes for a Happy
Birthday’.
Some people also send special cards for Easter and New Year. Easter cards either portray images of
spring, such as chicks, eggs, lambs, spring flowers, etc, or have a religious theme.
Cards are produced for every ‘milestone’ in a person’s life. There are special cards for an
engagement, a marriage, a new home, a birth, success in an examination, retirement, a death in the
family, etc. Some are ‘good luck’ or ‘congratulations’ cards. Others, for example ‘get well’ cards for
people who are ill, express sympathy.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer for each of the questions from 61 to 70.
Who talk more – men or women? Most people believe that women talk more. However, linguist
Deborah Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women, says that this is a
stereotype. According to Tannen, women are more verbal – talk more in private situations, where they
use conversation as the “glue” to hold relationships together. But, she says, men talk more in public
situations, where they use conversation to exchange information and gain status. Tannen points out that
we can see these differences even in children. Little girls often play with one “best friend”, their play
includes a lot of conversation. Little boys often play games in groups; their play usually involves more
doing than talking. In school, girls are often better at verbal skills, boys are often better at mathematics.
A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference. Researchers
studied conversation between children age 3-6 and their parents. They found evidence that parents talk
very differently to their sons than they do to their daughters. The startling conclusion was that parents
use more language with their girls. Specifically, when parents talk with their daughters, they use more
descriptive language and more details. There is also far more talk about emotions, especially sadness,
with daughters than with sons.
