问题     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. He knows what he wants and he just finds it and buys it, but cares little about the price. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it, the salesman quickly takes it out, and the business of trying it on follows at once.  If all is well, the deal (买卖) can be and is often completed in less than-five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone’s satisfaction.
    For a man, small 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 tries to sell the customer something else--he offers the nearest he can to the thing asked for. He would say, "I know this jacket is not the style you want, Sir, but would you like to try it on for size? It happens to be the color you mentioned." Few men have patience (耐心) with this treatment, and the usual answer is, "This is the right color and may lie the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on."
    Now how does a woman go about buying clothes7 In almost every respect (方面) she does so quite differently. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind about what she wants, and she is only "having a look around". She is always open to what the salesman tells her, even to what her friends tell her. She will try on any number of things. What is most important in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Besides, most women have an excellent sense of value when’ they buy clothes. They are always ready for the unexpected bargain (便宜贷). Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one counter to another before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It takes time, but surely it is enjoyable to women shoppers.  Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.
What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers?
选项 A、The fact that men do not try clothes on in a shop.
B、Women bargain (计价还价) for their clothes, but men do not.
C、Women stand in a shop, but men sit down.
D、The time they take to buy clothes.
答案D
解析 此考题为推理题。选项A和C显然与事实相矛盾。文中未提及男人不在乎价格的高低而女人喜欢买便宜货，但文中并未暗示喜不喜欢讨价还价是男顾客与女顾客之间最明显的差别。从文章中可以看出两者最明显的区别应在于他们花在购买衣服上的时间长短，故应选D。
