A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is decided in advance. He knows what he wants and his purpose is to find it and buy i; the price is a secondary consideration. Almost all men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it, the salesman immediately produces it and the business of trying it on follows at once. All being well, the deal can be completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop doesn't have what he wants. In that case the salesman usually tries to sell the customer something else; he does so with skill. “I know this jacket is not the style your want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the color you mentioned. "Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is, “This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on. ”Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? Her shopping is often not based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only "having a look”. She is7/ 167always open to others' advice. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. She is always looking out for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a room full of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour walking aimlessly from one corner to another, backwards and forwards. It is a tiring process, but apparently an enjoyable one.（1）The passage is mainly about __________.A. what happened to men and women in a clothes shopB. different shopping habits of men and womenC. different shopping problems of men and womenD. a shopping guide for men and women（2）When a man is buying clothes, __________.A. he buys clothes of good quality, so long as they are not too dearB. he buys whatever he likes without considering its priceC. he does not mind so much about the price for the right clothesD. he talks with the salesman and they are both satisfied（3）What does a man do when he cannot get exactly what he wants?A. He buys similar clothes of the color he wants.B. He usually does not buy anythingC. He tries on some other clothes, but never buys anything.D. As long as the size is right, he buys the clothes.（4）What does the passage tell us about women shoppers?8/ 168A. They listen to advice but never take it.B. They often buy clothes without having the proper thought.C. They hardly consider buying cheap clothes.D. They welcome suggestions from anyone.（5）What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers?A. They take different lengths of time when buying clothes.B.
