Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly shows it, and the business of trying it on follows at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is 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 does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else, he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute(替代品)impolitely; he does so with skill: "I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the colour you mentioned. Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: “This is the right colour 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? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only "having a look round". She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary(相反的) to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lockout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro(來回地), often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.

【解析】

試題分析:本文介紹了男性和女性在購買衣服的時候的差別,男性是因為需要買衣服,女性不管需不需要都會買的。

1.語義理解題。根據(jù)第1段第 2、3、4 句 A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it 可知男人因為需要而買東西,他買東西的目的預先訂下來,他知道他需要什么,而且他的目標是找到他需要的東西并買下來。由此可推斷只要東西合適,是他需要的,價格則是次要的事情。故答案為 C。

2.細節(jié)題:從第三段的句子:She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her,可知婦女會歡迎很多人的建議。選A。

3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第3段首句 For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. 和末句This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on 可知雖然價格和顏色都合適,但如果不是他想要的東西,他認為“試穿是浪費時間”,因此可推知他不會買。故答案為 B。

4.推理題:從第三段的句子:Contrary(相反的) to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lockout for the unexpected bargain. 可知和笑話相反的是,很多婦女能用很少的錢買到很好的東西,也就是說這些笑話是說女性浪費錢買了很多劣質的東西,選A

5.推理題:從第一段的句子:All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.可知男子購物的時間很短,最后一段的句子:a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro(來回地), often retracing her steps,而女性要花很長時間,所以他們最明顯的差異是用的時間不同。選D

考點:考查社會現(xiàn)象類短文

Making Peace with Your Parents
As a teen, you’re going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests are expanding.   【小題1】  .
Here is the challenge: Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers that are out in that world. These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts can’t be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.
For instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted, or hungry. A good time to talk is when you’re all relaxed. Timing is everything. If the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you’d better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation --- for now. 【小題2】  . Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you’re listening.  【小題3】  .
Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each others’ feelings can disagree without things getting ugly.
   【小題4】   . How do you build trust? Trust comes by actually doing what you say you’re going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule-makers --- they’re interesting people who like to watch movies, and go shopping --- just like their teenagers!
What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky?  【小題5】  . You can find supportive adults, such as a teacher or a coach, who can lend an ear.
Remember you can only change your own behavior. You parents are the only ones who can change theirs.

A.It also gives them a chance to clear things up if you’re not on the same page.
B.You can pick it up again when everyone’s more relaxed.
C.And then you’ll be able to accept what your parents say.
D.Faced with the challenge, children don’t know what to do.
E.You are more likely to get along with your parents and have more independence if your parents believe in you.
F.And your desire to take control of your own life is growing.
G.You may consider seeking outside help.
