填空题Margaret Stephens:
On the job, we expect equal pay for equal work. Work gives a man identity and status. The same often holds true for a woman. We want our husbands take our jobs as seriously as they take their own. I worked as a nurse, he, a sales-execu- tive. I followed him around the country. Each time he was transferred, I found a new position for myself. It wasn"t until I received an award from my hospital that he realized how emotionally attached I was to my profession.
Barbra Stern:
Men and women solve problems in different ways. A man tends to be direct-line up all his options, select one, and then proceed. Women can be direct, too, but they may also choose a less obvious path. What women really want is for men to respect the special ways they have of analyzing problems. When men struggle with a problem, they stay right with it, but often getting more and more upset. Women are more likely to simply let problems solve themselves.
Cindy Rodgers:
Men tend to be romantic, often falling in love more quickly than women, who tend to focus on practical considerations in choosing a mate and look for long-term qualities in a partner. Far more than men, they allow their heads to control their hearts. Even though women may ache for love, they carry around an inner evaluator who asks, "Can I count on this man?" So any man who hopes to sweep a woman off her feet had better lengthen his timetable
Nora Kent:
Men are often more uncomfortable than women about being alone and tend to get bored more easily. Some men want to control their wives and they get anxious when their wives are off on their own, beyond reach. Women need "down time" to shop, read, recharge batteries, and a man shouldn"t feel hurt if his spouse doesn"t want to spend every free minute with him. When a woman takes time to be alone, she"s expressing a need to be autonomous.
Jessica Vicino:
A woman wants most everything a man wants: success, power, status, money, love, marriage, children, happiness and fulfillment. Few women relish being a mother, secretary or general picker upper for their husbands. A woman wants the man in her life to be a true equal, someone who respects her strengths, treats her weakness with kindness. In short, she wants a friend, a lover and a partner who understands her.
