单选题 I remember quite clearly the first time I was really shaken by my wife's intuition.
We were looking; for a second-hand car, and I had been much taken by a rather nice drop-head with a well-cared-for appearance.
"Well, she runs nicely,” I told my wife after the try-out. “Good start-up, engine sounds sweet, low mileage and the right price. What do you think?"
"I don't like it"
"Why not?"
"I don't know. There's just something about lie salesman that I don't believe. "
A few weeks after we had bought another car elsewhere, I happened to find out the history of the drop-head. It had been seriously damaged in a crash before we saw it, and cleverly done up. The car was, indeed, a very bad risk.
Of all the things about women that their husbands do not understand, perhaps the biggest question is this: How can she often be right about things of which she has absolutely no knowledge? How does a woman's intuition work? What is this strange power that tells her exactly when her husband isn't working late on business, however honest he pretends to be? Is it guesswork, or some sixth sense that men don't have?
