Men and women may have different experiences in shopping for clothes.
A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in __1__. He knows what he wants, and his __2__ is to find it and buy it. All men __3__ walk into a shop and ask the shop assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock (库存), the deal can be done and __4__ is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat to everyone’s __5__.
For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants. In that __6__， the salesman tries to sell the customer something else — he __7__ the nearest to the article required. A good salesman brings out such a substitute (替代品) __8__； he may say, “I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It __9__ to be the color you mentioned.” Few men have __10__ with this treatment, and the usual answer is：“This is the right color and may be the right size, but I shouldn’t be __11__ my time and yours by trying it on.”
For a woman, buying clothes is always done in the __12__ way. Her shopping is not often __13__ on need. She has never fully decided what she wants, and she is only “having a look around”. She is always __14__ to persuasion, willing to try on any number of things. Deep in her mind is the thought of finding something that __15__ thinks suits her. Most women have an excellent sense of value and are always on the lookout for the unexpected __16__. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another __17__ selecting the dress she wants to __18__. It is a tiresome process，but clearly a(n) __19__ one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting __20__. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了男性和女性在购物方面的不同表现。
