英语美文：男人女人日常行为的相同和不同之处
To see what patterns of behavior most Americans consider "normal", I asked an ad agency--whose researchers are experts in uncovering consumer buying habits and motivation--to tell me how Americans wash their hair, go to bed, change a tire. In some instances, the results are entirely predictable; in others, downright surprising.

为了了解什么是大多数美国人眼中的“正常”行为，我询问了一家广告代理公司。那里的研究人员是揭示消费者消费习惯和动机的专家。他们告诉了我美国人洗头，就寝和换胎时的习惯。这些习惯中，有些结果是能预测到的，而另一些则完全出人意料。
Four times as many men as women hug their spouse first thing when they walk in the door after work. When no one's around, men are also more likely to drink straight from a carton or bottle. And they're more likely to salt food without tasting it first.
下班走到家门口的时候，第一件事便是拥抱配偶的男人要比女人多出
3
倍。旁边没人的时候，男人更乐意拿来软包装或者瓶子直接对嘴喝。他们也更习惯于不先尝一尝食物就加盐。
There are some other glaring male/female differences. Who'd have guessed women are more likely to squeeze the toothpaste tube from the middle--or worse, from the top!
男女之间还有其他一些明显的不同。有谁能想到女人比男人更可能从牙膏管中段——甚至更糟，从牙膏管顶端挤牙膏！
Although both men and women swear an average of 16 times a day (much more if we have kids), courtesy lives in America. Most men let women get off the elevator before them. When it comes to opening the car door for the opposite sex--a sign of chivalry--a full 70% of men usually do. And most people acknowledge a sneeze: only 13% remain mute. (Most folks prefer "God bless you.")
尽管男人女人每天都会骂人
16
次（如果有孩子的话频率更高），但美国人还是很有礼貌的。大多数男人会让女士先出电梯。
70%
的男人也
It's on the road where we really demonstrate good manners. If upset with another driver, 54% of us do nothing. Less-popular responses: shouting dirty words (17%), making angry gestures (16%), and the rest: flashing our lights.
