    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 produces it, and the business of trying it on goes forward 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 without least consideration; he does so with skill and polish（完美）: “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 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 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 to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent 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 tiresome process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.

    According to the passage, a man’s shopping is based on _______.

           A．his money B．his hobbies       C．his need    D．his friends

    Why does a lady welcome suggestions from anyone while buying a dress?

           B．Because she doesn’t know how to buy a dress.

           C．Because she doesn’t know whether to buy it or not.

           D．Because she wants to show herself off in public.

    Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

           A．Most men have patience with trying it on while buying a jacket.

           B．Most women have a poor sense of value when buying a dress.

           C．A woman’s shopping is based on her need. k+s-5#u 

           D．A man doesn’t pay much attention to the price of the clothes he wants to buy.

           A．similarities       B．differences       C．varieties    D．intentions

    C
    It is a lot of trouble to learn a new language. When we go to all that trouble, we certainly want to be understood. But understanding is based on more than speech. Sometimes misunderstanding comes not from the wrong words, but from the wrong style. In our own country, we learn the style for politeness. But this polite style may be misunderstood in another country. This can cause unexpected difficulties. Since you have spent so much effort learning this new language, it is sensible and practical to learn the politeness rules also. Even if you think some of the customs are foolish, learning them can help you to be clearly understood.
    In your country, is it considered polite to listen quietly to other people without any change of expression on the face? If this is the style you have learned, perhaps you should watch two Americans talking. Notice how the person who is listening will have frequent changes of expression. The listener may also make little remarks while the other person is talking. These little remarks may be one word, like “Really?” or they may just be a little sound, like “Uhhuh” or “Mmm.” This is the way American listeners show that they are listening in a friendly way. This is why Americans get uneasy when the listener is silent and shows no change of expression. In the American style of speaking, an unmoving face often means that the listener is unfriendly, or perhaps even angry.
    Sometimes people from two countries are uncomfortable with each other for very small reasons. Here is an example: Americans think that perspiration odor is not polite. In fact, they worry so much about this subject that they spend a great deal of money on deodorants (除臭剂) and dry cleaning and washing their clothes. If a foreign student does not follow the same rule, Americans may be disturbed and think the foreigner is not nice. The problem can be especially troublesome because Americans are so embarrassed about this subject that they do not even like to talk about it, so they are not likely to tell that person why they are uneasy.
    63. If you want to be clearly understood in another country, besides the language, you should also learn _________.
    A. its common knowledge     B. its style            C. its wrong words      D. how to make a speech
    64. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A. American listeners have frequent changes of expression.
    B. A foreign student may not get along well with Americans if he smells.
    C. An unmoving face and silence of listeners will make Americans feel unhappy.
    D. Making little remarks like “Really”, “Uhhuh” or “Mum” is impolite while listening to an American.
    65. The underlined phrase in the last paragraph probably means _________.
    A. an unpleasant smell                                     B. a good style of talking
    C. an unfriendly way                                   D. a polite expression
    66. What would be the best title for the passage?
    A. Learning a new language                  B. Different people, Different languages
    C. Body Language                                     D. Different Countries, Different Cultures

    Smart job-seekers need to rid themselves of several standard myths about interviewing before they start looking for a job. What follows is a list of some of these untruths and some tips to help you do your best at your next interview.
    Myth 1: The aim of interviewing is to obtain (means “get”) a job offer.
    Only half true. The real aim of an interview is to obtain the job you want. That often means rejecting job offers you don’t want! So before you please an employer, be sure you want the job.
    Myth 2: Always please the interviewer
    Not true. Try to please yourself. Of course, don’t be hostile—nobody wants to hire someone disagreeable. But there is plainly a muddle ground between being too ingratiating（逢迎）and being hostile.
    Myth 3: Try to control the interview
    Nobody “controls” an interview. When someone tries to control us, we resent（憎恨）it. When we try to control others, they resent us. Remember you can’t control what an employer thinks of you, just as he can’t control what you think of him. So he is ready to give and take when being interviewed; never control the interview.
    Myth 4: Never interrupt the interviewer
    Study the style of the effective conversationalists: they interrupt and are interrupted! An exciting conversation always makes us feel free—free to interrupt, to disagree, to agree enthusiastically. Just hang loose. Try being yourself for a change. Employers will either like or dislike you, but at least you’ll have made an impression. Leaving an employer indifferent（冷漠的）is the worst impression you can make.
    【小题1】To be your natural self in a job interview will__________.

    A．make your interviewer angryB．please your interviewer
    C．leave an impression on the interviewerD．leave the interviewer indifferent to you
    【小题2】     For job seekers, efforts to control the interview are likely to __________.
    A．affect the interviewer’s opinion of them
    B．lead to the offer of a job
    C．enable them to express themselves fully
    D．help to create a favorable image of themselves
    【小题3】The most important thing to keep in mind when being interviewed for a job is to _________.
    A．try to obtain the jobB．reject the job first
    C．qualify yourself for the jobD．see if it is a job you want
    【小题4】The right attitude to a job interviewer is to be _________.
    A．obedientB．hostileC．pleasingD．agreeable
    【小题5】     “hang loose” in last paragraph means to _________.
    A．stay calm and relaxedB．become weak and passive
    C．take chargeD．sit back comfortably

    Department stores sell ready- to-wear clothing, which is also called ready-made clothing. Such clothing is made in fixed sizes. Those people who find that ready-made clothing fits them well can save money by buying it. Most often, people do not fit exactly into a producer’s size. Their clothing must be altered to make it fit better. However, most alterations are not very expensive. The small cost of most alterations means that ready-made clothing can meet the needs of most customers.
    Those who can afford it often get someone to design and make their clothing. Such clothing is called custom-made. The person who makes it measures the customer, and then sews it so that it fits perfectly. Alterations are not needed. Custom-made clothing is largely sewn by hand, has better quality, better material, and is of the style you have chosen. Of course, it costs much more than ready-to-wear clothing. You need to pay the difference for the special fitting and better skill that you are receiving. This often means that you spend double or more than you would for a ready-made garment.
    Custom-made clothing is not always that much better than ready-made clothing. It costs more partly because only one garment has been made, just for you. Companies that produce ready-made products make thousands of garments at a time. This means they can buy large quantities of material. Workers cut each size by the hundreds. Companies work out ways to make the garments quickly by machine and pay workers according to their skill. Thus they can sell the finished products at a low price while still making money. Most of the clothing sold in the United States is made in this way. Customers gain from the lower prices which are made possible by mass production. It may or may not give them high quality.

      3. C.
        want to make it better
      4. D.
        can fit into the sizes
    2. 2.

      We can learn from the passage that custom-made clothing is_______.

      1. A.
        specially made
      2. B.
        fashionably designed
      3. C.
        chosen by few people
