A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is clear and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is the second place for consideration(考虑). All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it, the salesman quickly produces it, and the man begins to try it at once. For a man, small 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 will try to sell the customer something else. Very often, he offers the nearest thing that he can produce.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 of what she wants, and she is "having a look round". She will still be satisfied even if she has bought nothing11.How does a man go shopping to buy something in a shop?A) He will often ask help from the shop assistant.B) He will look at it carefully and wait for a while.C) He has made a plan before he wants to buy it.D) He will discuss it with his wife and then buy it.12.What is a man's attitude to the price of goods?A) He cares much about it.B) He pays little attention to itC) He is often not sure of itD) He likes to ask his wife's opinion.13.What does a man do when he can't get exactly what he wants?A) He often looks round the shopB) He will ask the shop assistant for advice.C) He will decide to buy something instead.D) He doesn't buy anything else.14.What does a woman usually do when she is going to buy something?A) She never arranges a plan for what she is going to buy.B) She does not ask the shop assistant to help her.C) She seldom asks about its price.D) She will not try it in the shop15.What is this passage mainly about?A) Men's way of buying thingsB) Women's attitude towards shop assistantsC) The difference between men and women in buying things.D) Men are better in choosing what they will buy阅读（二）The laptop computer(便携式电脑) is popular all over the world because it is small enough for us to put the upper part of our legs.
