I:

1. sniffed    2. decidedly     3. motive

4. masculine   5. principal     6. animated

1. Clearly, there is a stigma attached to gossip among English males, an unwritten rule to the effect that, even if what one is doing is gossiping, it should be called something else.

3. 由于体育和休闲大约占10%的说话时间，所以很可能是谈论足球的时间导致了这种性别上的差异。

4. 在接下来的提问中，我发现两者的差别只存在于语义层面上而非实践层面上：男性把女性通常所说的“闲聊”定义为“信息交流”。

5. 人们认为一句恰到好处的脏话能以大家更容易接受的方式表达出男人在听到特别有趣的闲话时的震惊和惊讶。
