Question

3．Why do some clothes fit us and some don't？It became clear to Louise Wannier in a fashion design class．"We were learning to draw body proportions （比例） just from one model，"Wannier，53，says．"Since women come in all sizes and shapes，I asked the teacher when we would learn about other body proportions．And she said，‘We don't．There are 5，000 designers，and each one designs only for his own model．'"
   Suddenly，Wannier understood why fitting rooms（试衣间） everywhere are full of frustrated women．"I knew right then that there was a business in helping women quickly find clothes for their shape and that it needed to be online．"
Wannier，who had already started two successful technology companies，rushed home to begin working on the idea．Two years later，in October 2006，she set up myshape．com．Customers go online to enter their measurements and are given one of seven body types based on their body proportions．
Seeing models of various shapes and sizes，many businessmen were impressed with Wannier's idea and put up 32 million，helping her develop the business plan．
 Once Wannier set up an online survey for potential customers．Within 24 hours，she got over 700 responses （响应） and a third of them signed up．"We were astonished，"recalls Wannier．"It made us believe there was really a demand．"
 Today，with 700，000 customers and 300 designers，the site has proved its usefulness．"For some weeks，"says Wannier，"we get 100-percent customer satisfaction．And designers are very happy：they get a new channel to sell their products and more customers．"
While My Shape continues to sign up customers and designers，the company isn't yet profitable （盈利的）．"We just get one percent of the price of the clothes，"says Wannier．"In order to make money，we have to attract more customers that will come back again and again．"

点评 做阅读时经常犯错的主要原因是，仅凭读过文章后残留在脑海中的一丝印象来勾选答案，这样便很容易掉入出题人故意设布下的题目陷阱．所谓阅读理解，对于题目的理解一定要忠实于原文，因此，每一道题都应该与原文作全面的对比与核查，再得出答案．也就是说，阅读理解的每一道题目，在原文都应该有明确的出处，我们把这一出处叫做原文相关句，（1）排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项（2）排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项  （3）排除用于过于极端或负面的选项（4）注意结合文章主旨和主题去排除．
