Something Men Do Not Like to Do

Eric Brown hates shopping. "It's just not enjoyable to me," said the 28-year-old

Chicago man who was carrying several shopping bags along the city's main street,

Michigan Avenue. 'When I'm out_______(1), I basically know what I want to get. I rush in. I buy it. I_______ (2)"

Common wisdom says that guys hate to shop. You can ask generations of men. But people who study shopping say that a number of social, cultural and economic factors are now_______(3) this "men-hate-to-shop" notion.

When women shop, "they're doing it in a way where they want _______(13) to be very happy," says McGrath. "They're kind of shopping for love."

In fact, it is in clothing where we see a male-female_______(14) most clearly. Why, complain some men, are all male clothes navy, black or brown？ But would they wear light green and pink (粉红色的)？

These days, many guys wear a sort of "uniform", says Paco Underhill, author of "Why We Buy". "It's been hard for them to understand what it means to be fashion-conscious (时常意识) in a business way. It becomes much, much easier _______(15) you narrow your range of choices."

Observe a child: any one will do. You will see that not a day passes in which he does not

find something or other to make him happy, though he may be in tears the next moment. Then look at a man: any one of us will do. You will notice that weeks and months can pass in which every day is greeted with nothing more than resignation, and endured with polite indifference. Indeed, most men are as miserable as sinners, though they are too bored to sin—perhaps their sin is their indifference. But it is true that they so seldom smile, that when they do we do not recognize their face, so distorted it is from the fixed mask we take for granted. And even then a man can not smile like a child, for a child smiles with his eyes, whereas a man smiles with his lips alone. It is not a smile, but a grin: something to do with humor, but little to do with happiness. And then, as anyone can see, there is a point(but who can define that point？)when a man becomes an old man, and then he will smile again. It would seem that happiness is something to do with simplicity, and that it is the ability to extract pleasure from the simplest things such as a peach stone, for instance.

Is dentistry the career for you？ Today's dentists have many more opportunities than they u

sed to. In the past, a dentist's life was predictable.

听力原文：M：Do you think women are generally better at certain things than men？

W：Well，it seems to me women are much better at dealing with more than one thing at a time．I don't know whether this has to do with the difference in their brain or whether it's just how they have to cope more often with more than one thing．For example，it is usually women who work，have babies．look after the babies and take the main, responsibility for looking after the home．And maybe it's practicing all that makes women be better able to do more than one thing at a time．Men，it seems to me，can only concentrate on one thing at a time，including boring domestic things like washing the dishes．If a friend of mine who is a man washes the dishes he'll find it quite difficult to conduct a conversation at the same time．whereas if I'm doing the dishes I'm always talking to someone．probably cooking something as well，and finding that not too stressful．

M：Do you think women are more interested in personal relationships than men？

W：Generally，yes，though again I don't know if this is because that from an early age they are taught to please other people，whereas men are always taught to please themselves．I think relationships are more central to most women's lives．For example．I think men don't have very good conversations with each other．whereas women do．If you listen to women talking，often they will be having，after a relatively short time of knowing each other，fairly personal and truthful conversations，whereas men have conversations not about what I'd call real things．They will talk about their work in a very superficial way，or their interests in a very superficial way，for example，and football is me—um—just a sort of way for men to relate to each other without actually saying anything important，it appears to me．

According to the woman,why women are much better at dealing with more than one thing at a time？

A．She doesn't know the reason exactly.

B．Because women are smarter than men.

C．Because women have more things to deal with than men.

D．Because men always refuse to deal with more than one thing at the same time.

听力原文：M: Do you think women are generally better at certain things than men？

W: Well, it seems to me women are much better at dealing with more than one thing at a time. I don't know whether this has to do with the difference in their brain or whether it's just how they have to cope more often with more than one thing. For example, it is usually women who work, have babies, look after the babies and take the main responsibility for looking after the home. And maybe it's practicing all that makes women be better able to do more than one thing at a time. Men, it seems to me, can only concentrate on one thing at a time, including boring domestic things like washing the dishes. If a friend of mine who is a man washes the dishes he'll find it quite difficult to conduct a conversation at the same time, whereas if I'm doing the dishes I'm always talking to someone, probably cooking something as well, and finding that not too stressful.

M: Do you think women are more interested in personal relationships than men？

W: Generally, yes, though again I don't know if this is because that from an early age they are taught to please other people, whereas men are always taught to please themselves. I think relationships are more central to most women's lives. For example, I think men don't have very good conversations with each other, whereas women do. If you listen to women talking, often they will be having, after a relatively short time of knowing each other, fairly personal and truthful conversations, whereas men have conversations not about what I'd call real things. They will talk about their work in a very superficial way, or their interests in a very superficial way, for example, and football is the—um—just a sort of way for men to relate to each other without actually saying anything important, it appears to me.
