Different ways of speaking are part of gender. As adults, men and women sometimes face difficulties in their communication with each other. Studies of communication show that if a woman tells her husband about a problem, she will expect him to listen and offer sympathy. She may be annoyed when he simply tells her how to solve the problem. Similarly, a husband may be annoyed when his wife wants to stop and ask a stranger for directions to a park or restaurant. Unlike his wife, he would prefer to use a map and find his way by himself.
Language is also part of the different ways that men and women think about friendship. Most men believe that friendship means doing things together such as camping or playing tennis. Talking is not an important part of friendship for most of them. Women, , usually identify their best friend as someone with whom they talk frequently.

The Goose and the Golden egg
There was once Countryman who possessed the most wonderful Goose you can imagine, for every day when he visited the nest, the Goose had laid a beautiful, glittering, Golden egg.
The Countryman took the eggs to the market and soon began to get rich. But he grew impatient with Goose because she gave him only a single Golden egg a day. He was not getting rich fast enough.
Then one day, after he had finished counting his money, he thought that he could get all the Golden eggs at once by killing the Goose and cutting it open. But when he killed her, he didn’t find a single Golden egg and his precious Goose was dead.

Leitores vorazes
Para satisfazer fãs cada vez mais ansiosos, editoras encurtam intervalos entre livros de séries
Não é só a maneira de ver séries televisivas que está mudando com as chamadas maratonas, em que todos os episódios são vistos de uma vez só. Os leitores também estão cada vez mais ansiosos para saber como continua a história dos personagens de livros.
A pressão do público pela sequência de títulos que compõem séries vem influenciando os lançamentos editoriais no exterior e no Brasil.
“As pessoas estão consumindo cada vez mais rápido o livro, então conseguimos um intervalo menor do que um ano para lançar um segundo volume”, diz Alessandra Ruiz, da editora Gutenberg, que pretende diminuir o espaço entre seus lançamentos para seis meses a partir de 2015.
Pascoal Soto, diretor da Leya, observa que o comportamento do leitor brasileiro está ficando cada vez mais parecido com o do americano. Ele diz: “Os livros, especialmente os best-sellers, têm essa dinâmica rápida há muito tempo nos mercados mais maduros, isso é muito próprio dos produtos de massa.
Para o professor da Unesp João Luís Ceccantini, isso pode revelar “um apego à quantidade e ao mais do mesmo”.
