do for books or music, theyll say, well, thats not shopping. thats research.”in other words, what men and women call “buying things” and how they approach that task are different.women will wander through several 1,000squaremetre stores in search of the perfect party dress. men will wander through 100 internet sites in search of the perfect digital camcorder. women see shopping as a social event. men see it as a special task or a game to be won.“men are frequently shopping to win,” says ann, a marketing professor at loyola university of chicago. “they want to get the best deal. they want to get the best and latest one and if they do that, it makes them happy. when women shop, theyre doing it in a way that they want everybody to be very happy,” says ann. “theyre kind of shopping for love.”“teenage girls learn to shop from their mums and elder sisters, and they also learn to shop by examining articles in magazines like seventeen,” zukin says. “and although mens magazines such

by girls,” says zukin, “to help make clothing and toiletry choices.”“of course, there are men who love to shop and are proud of it,” ann says. and that is important no matter whether you buy a car or

选g涂ad）how to learn english effectivelyhave you ever tried to study english, but it turned out its too difficult for you? well, let me tell you that the language is easy once you keep in mind these golden rules: always study and review phrases, not individual words.did somebody give you a dictionary when you started learning your native language as a child? no? then why do you keep using it when studying a foreign language? memorizing individual words has absolutely no sense without the context. _16_ dont study grammar.when you start thinking about what construction to use, you begin to stammer, stop sounding natural. your responses should become automatic to master the language, so instead of studying theory take more practice! when you speak, you dont have time for considering what tense is appropriate, one hundred percent correct. _17_ grammar is important in writing, not in speaking._18_one of the most common mistakes when studying a foreign language is relying solely on textbooks. thanks to them you may know a lot of grammar and vocabulary, but youre still not capable of conducting a conversation. it is because you should learn english by listening and not by reading. if you listen more, youll grasp useful vocabulary and grammar without even realizing it and without memorizing! learn english deeply.remember its always about quality, not about quantity. _19_ when memorizing the phrases (remember the first rule!) slowly, you put them into the deeper parts of your brain so they dont fade away quickly. listen and answer, not listen and repeat._20_if you practice listening with a podcast or a video, pause it every 20 30 second and summarize what has been said. you have to think quickly, so you stop bothering yourself with useless grammar and start to speak the real, living language!a. studying grammar is the quickest way to slow down your progress.b. instead of learning dozens of new words in a short time, try repeating one, but dozens of times.c. but you dont need to think about that.d.learning whole phrases is much more effective.e. you should answer the questions as
