A man goes shopping because they need 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 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 produced 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 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 implied, tries to sell customers something else- he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute bluntly; 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 happen to 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? In almost every respect she does so in the possible way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up what she wants, and she is only “ having a look round”. She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets a 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, she thought of finding something what anyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of when they buy clothes. They are always on the lookout for the unexpected bargain. Face 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 want to try on. It is laborious process, but apparently any enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands. When a man is buying clothes, a. he buys cheap things, regardless of quality b. he chooses things that other recommend c. he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right things. d. he buys good quality things, so long as they are not too dear What do men care about the fit of new clothes? a. They like their clothes to be bigger than the average size b. Most men just assume that the size is right for them c. They make sure a thing fits before they buy it d. They do not worry whether a thing fits well or not What does a man do when he does not get exactly what he wants? a. He buy a similar thing of the color he wants b. He usually does not buy anything c. At least two of his requirement must be met before be buy d. So long as the style is right, he buys the thing. What does the passage tell us about women shoppers for clothes? a. They welcome suggestions from anyone b. Women rarely consider buying cheap clothes a. Women often buy things without giving the matter proper thought d. They listen to advice but never take it What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers? a. The fact that men do not try clothes on in a shop b. Women bargain for the clothes, but men do not c. Women stand up to shop, but men sit down d.
