8、is not the same experience for a man as it is for 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

9、the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on proceeds at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly and chat and to everyones satisfaction.For a man, slight

10、problems many 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 elsehe offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute bluntly;

11、 he does so with skill and polish: “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 s

12、hould 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 had never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round“. She is alway

13、s 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 to a lot of jokes, most women have an excelle

14、nt sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lookout 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, often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a labor

15、ious process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provides chairs for the waiting husbands.（分数：7.00）(1).When a man is buying clothes he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right things.A. Right B. Wrong C.

19、fties childhood, I was fed well and healthily. The milkman came daily, the grocer, the butcher, the baker, and the ice-cream man delivered two or three times a week.

20、troubled by rotten food. Thirty years on, food deliveries have ceased, fresh vegetables are almost unobtainable in the country.The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation. A vast variety of well-tried techniques already existed-natural cooling, drying

21、, smoking, slating, sugaring, bottling.What refrigeration did promote was marketing-marketing hardware and electricity, marketing soft drinks, marketing dead bodies of animals around the globe in search of a good price.Consequently, most of the worlds fridges are to be found, not in the tropics wher

It is true that some cities dont permit buildings to go above a certain height. But these are cities concerned

38、with the past. The first thing any city does when it wants to tell the world that it has arrived is to build skyscrapers.When people gather together in cities, they create a demand for land.

41、e pulley system the Egyptians used to create the Pyramids. What Otis did was attach the system to a steam engine and develop the elevator brake, which stops the lift falling if the cords that hold it up are broken. It was this that did the most to gain public confidence in the new invention, In fact

42、, he spent a number of years exhibiting lifts at fairgrounds, giving people the chance to try them out before selling the idea to architects and builders.A lift would not be a very good theme park attraction now. Going in a lift is such an everyday thing that it would just be boring. Yet psychologis

43、ts and others who study human behavior fund lifts fascinating. The reason is simple. Scientists have always studied animals in zoos. The nearest they can get to that with humans is in observing them in lifts.“It breaks all the usual conventions about the bubble of personal space we carry around with

44、 us and you just cant choose to move away,“ says workplace psychologist, Gary Fitzgibbon. Being trapped in this setting can create different types of tensions, he says.
