One afternoon, in Paris, I took a trip to an art museum .I was looking forward to a quiet view(观赏) of some great paintings of excellent artists.
A young couple looking at the paintings in front of me were talking non-stop. I watched them a moment and found the woman was doing all the talking. In fact, I was surprised at the man for putting up with her long speech. Bored by their noise, I moved on. Each time I heard her voice, I moved away at once.
I was standing at the museum gift shop when the couple walked to the exit(出口).
“He’s a brave man ,” said the shop assistant. “Most of us would give up if we became blind at such a young age. But he and his wife come in whenever there’s a new art show.”
It explained the non-stop talk! A sudden sense of shame (愧疚感) came to my heart for what I was thinking just now. “But shat does he get out of the art?” I asked. The shop assistant answered, “His wife describes each painting so that he can see it in his head. ”
At that moment I realized what patience and love really mean. And I felt their love as I watched them walking away holding each other’s hands.
【小题1】We can learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 that the writer      .

　　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（存货）, the salesman produces（呈出）it, and the business of trying it on proceeds（继续进行）at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly chat and to everyone's satisfaction.

　　For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else. No good salesman brings out such a substitute bluntly（直率地）; 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 color you want.” Few men have patience with this treatment. And the usual response（反应，回答）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? She does so in a different way, Her shopping is not based on need, She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round”. She will try on any number of things. In her mind there is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Faced with a roomful（一室所能容纳之量）of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour looking around before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.
