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 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 goes forward at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction. For a man, slight 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, 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 without least consideration; he does so with skill and polish（完美）: “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 color you mentioned." Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: “This is the right color 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 has 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 tiresome process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.

解析试题分析：本文介绍了男性和女性在购买衣服的时候的差别，男性是因为需要买衣服，女性不管需不需要都会买的。
【小题1】语义理解题。根据第1段第 2、3、4 句 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 可知男人因为需要而买东西，他买东西的目的预先订下来，他知道他需要什么，而且他的目标是找到他需要的东西并买下来。由此可推断只要东西合适，是他需要的，价格则是次要的事情。故答案为 C。
【小题2】细节题：从第二段的句子：Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her.可知妇女想要买大家都认为合适自己的衣服。选A。
【小题3】推理判断题。根据第3段首句 For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. 和末句This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on 可知虽然价格和颜色都合适，但如果不是他想要的东西，他认为“试穿是浪费时间”，因此可推知他不会买。故答案为 B。
【小题4】主旨大意题。文章首句 Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman 点题男人买衣服和女人买衣服是不同的经历。然后下文分别阐述男人和女人买东西的不同。故答案为B。
考点：考查社会现象类短文
点评：文章内容难度适中，结构清楚，学生容易理解，以主旨题推理题的考查为主，解此类题除了注意细节，也需要结合上下文提供的语境和信息进行的概括和判断。

Making Peace with Your Parents
As a teen, you’re going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests are expanding.   【小题1】  .
Here is the challenge: Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers that are out in that world. These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts can’t be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.
For instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted, or hungry. A good time to talk is when you’re all relaxed. Timing is everything. If the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you’d better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation --- for now. 【小题2】  . Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you’re listening.  【小题3】  .
Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each others’ feelings can disagree without things getting ugly.
   【小题4】   . How do you build trust? Trust comes by actually doing what you say you’re going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule-makers --- they’re interesting people who like to watch movies, and go shopping --- just like their teenagers!
What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky?  【小题5】  . You can find supportive adults, such as a teacher or a coach, who can lend an ear.
Remember you can only change your own behavior. You parents are the only ones who can change theirs.

A．It also gives them a chance to clear things up if you’re not on the same page.
B．You can pick it up again when everyone’s more relaxed.
C．And then you’ll be able to accept what your parents say.
D．Faced with the challenge, children don’t know what to do.
E.You are more likely to get along with your parents and have more independence if your parents believe in you.
F.And your desire to take control of your own life is growing.
G.You may consider seeking outside help.
