浙江省平阳县第三中学高三英语测试题（9.15-9.21）5 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 follows at once. all being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyones 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 impolitely; 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 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 lockout 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 laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one. most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.1. the passage mainly talks about _.a. differences between men and women shoppers b. a man goes shopping because he needs somethingc. how women go about buying clothes d. women are better at shopping than men2. the underlined sentence “the price is a secondary consideration” in the first paragraph means when a man is shopping _.a. he buys good quality things, so long as they are not too dearb. he buys whatever he likes without considering its valuec. he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right thingsd. he often buy things without giving the matter proper thought.3. what does a man do when he can not get exactly what he wants?a. he buys a similar thing because of the color he wants.b. he usually does not buy anything.c. at least two of his requirements must be met before he buys.d. so long as the style is right, he buys the thing.4. what is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers?a. men do not try clothes on in a shop while women do.b. women bargain for their clothes, but men do not.c. the time they take over buying clothes.d. men go shopping based on need, but women never. b the impression you make at the beginning of an interview is very important. employers often decide to hire someone in the first three minutes of the interview. they judge you by your appearance, attitude (态度) and manners. a friendly smile when you walk into the room is important. a smile shows a confident (自信的) and positive attitude. when you introduce yourself, make eyes contact with the interviewer. some interviewers offer a hand?shake. others dont. try to be as natural as possible. but pay attention to your body language. the way you sit, walk, gesture, use your voice and show feeling on your face are all parts of your body language. it makes the interviewer know how you feel about yourself and the situation you are in. are you feeling positive about yourself?
