M: Well, although nine out of ten parents use smacking as a punishment, half of them feel guilty about using it. The other half do smack their children and think they are right. It seems most parents we talked to smack their children more than once a week and 5% actually smack their children every day.
W: The report suggests that parents should make more efforts to understand their children and that smacking isn't always the best solution if children are naughty.
M: Yes, parents should try harder to understand how their children feel when they react in certain ways. For example they might be jealous of a new baby brother or a sister or they might feel insecure. Any number of things might make the child react badly.
W: So in those kinds of situations it would be better not to smack children?
M: Yes, obviously because when a child's behaving badly, it needs love and attention, not anger and violence. I think parents should think really carefully before they smack their children.
W: Maybe parents should find an opportunity to communicate with their children.
M: That's right.

M: Ah, you may not realize you're working on a complicated philosophical issue.
W: I know exactly that men and women are different. They sometimes don't understand each other at all.
M: 1 agree. Men and women are interested in different topics when they are talking. Last weekend, John and I went to a ball game. When we're at the game, we talked about the players and what's going on in the game and nothing else. I think women wouldn't do that.
W: You bet! Yesterday, a friend and I sat at a caf6 and talked about nothing, and everything! Um…about my sister's new baby…and about when she could go back to work…and you know, who should take care of the baby… things like that.
M: When a woman talks with a man, [20] she'll often feel as though he wasn't really listening or that he wasn't really having a conversation, right?
W: Yeah, that sounds very familiar to me.
M: And I think a man doesn't understand what the woman really wants from him.
W: I guess he probably wonders "what's her point?", "where's this conversation going?"
M: To speak from experience, for a man, talking is generally more straightforward—it's about giving and getting facts. Men generally don't base their friendships on talking, but on doing—getting together with buddies, playing sports or hanging out.
W: Well, for me, [21] a best friend is someone I can be close with and talk to. I can talk with her in detail about everyday events in our lives. We share feelings and secrets. This offers a chance to better understand our world and ourselves.
(20)
A.Looking for a person to talk to.
B.Working on a troublemaking talking.
C.Trying to understand the two genders.
D.Trying to understand friendship between women.
M: Yes. I thought it was quite interesting, but I don't quite understand the column entitled change. Can you explain what it means?
W: Well, I think it means the change from the year before. I am not a mathematician, but I assume the rise from 70p to 90p is a rise of 25 percent.
M: Oh, yes, I see. And the inflation rate is there for comparison.
W: Yes. Why do you think the rise in pocket money is often higher than inflation?
M: I am sorry I've no idea. Perhaps parents in Britain are too generous.
W: Perhaps they are. But it looks as if children were not better off in 2001 than they were in 2002. That's strange, isn't it? And they seem to have been better off in 2003 than they are now. I wonder why that is.
M: Yes, I don't understand that at all.
W: Anyway, if you had children, how much pocket money would you give them?
M: I don't know. I think I'll probably give them 2 pounds a week.
W: Would you? And what would you expect them to do with it?
M: Well, out of that, they have to buy some small personal things, but I wouldn't expect them to save to buy their own socks, for example.
W: Yes, by the way, do most children in your country get pocket money?
M: Yeah, they do.
