三、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题
Researchers say that men and women have different communication styles(风格). That's why they sometimes cannot communicate well with each other. Here are some differences between them.
Men's communication style is more direct. They usually take a direct way to solve a problem and suggest a solution(解决办法). Men often make decisions more quickly than women. They also like to make decisions by themselves. Women's communication style is to discuss problems and ask other people for their opinions. Women like to talk with other people before they make a decision.
The topics of conversation are also different between men and women. Women like to discuss personal topics and talk about their feelings. They can express what they think while talking about problems. It is important to women in the friendship. Men are less comfortable discussing their feelings. They like to talk about the latest news, business, and personal success. Men form friendships by doing activities together while women form friendships by sharing feelings.
These differences of communication styles cause problems in their relationships. What are the results First, women may think it is important to discuss how they feel about a problem. Men, however, like to come to a solution. Second, men often think that women are complaining(抱怨), because women are always talking about their feelings. Men offer a solution to a problem, and then want to talk about something else. Third, women often think that men don't want to discuss things. In fact, they just want to discuss different things.
As men and women learn more about their different communication styles, they can better understand each other.
