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 proceeds at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly and chat and to everyone's satisfaction. For a man, slight problems many 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 bluntly; he does so with skill and polish: "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 colour you mentioned. "Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: "This is the right colour 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 had 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 laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provides chairs for the waiting husbands.

单选题New Product Will Save Lives Drinking water that looks clean may still contain bugs, which can cause illness.

单选题The Difference between Man and Computer What makes people different from computer programs? What is the missing element that our theories don"t 1 account for?

These goals can be held by computers too; a computer might "want" to find out the 13 of a restaurant, and read a guide in order to do so in 14 way as a person might. While such a goal would not arise out of hunger in the 15 of the computer, it might well arise out of the "goal" to learn more about restaurants.

单选题How a Terrible Battle helped to Change Europe Ninety years ago on a sunny morning in Northern France, something happened that changed Britain and Europe forever. At half past seven on the morning of July 1, 1916, whistles blew and thousands of British soldiers 1 their positions to attack their German enemies. 2 the end of the day, 20, 000 of them were dead, and another 30,000 wounded or missing. The Battle of the Somme, 3 it is called, lasted for six months. When it ended, 125,000 British soldiers were dead. They had gained five kilometers of ground. This was one of a series of great battles during the WWⅠ. The 4 on the Somme was staged to relieve pressure on the French, who were 5 in a great battle of their own at a place called Verdun. By the time the battle ended, over a million French and German troops had been killed. About 17 million people were killed in WWⅠ. There have been wars with greater numbers of dead.

Local farmers working in the land still 7 the bodies of those who died in that battle.
