Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping_1_he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in _2_. He knows what he wants, and his goal 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 doesn’t have what he wants. In that_6_,the salesman tries to sell something else----he_7_the nearest to the article required.A good salesman brings out such a substitute(替代品)_8_and he may say,”_9_know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It_10_to be the color you mentioned.” Few men have_11_with this treatment, and the usual response is :“This is the right color and may be the right size, but I shouldn’t be_12_my time and yours by trying it on.”
For a woman, buying clothes is always done in the_13_way.
Her shopping is not often_14_on need.She has never fully decided what she wants, and she is only “having a look round”.
She is always_15_to persuasion, willing to try on any number of things. Deep in her mind is the thought of finding something that_16_thinks suits her. Most women have an excellent sense of value and are always on the look out for the unexpected_17_.Faced with a roomful dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another_18_selecting the dress she wants to try on. It is a tiresome process, but apparently a(n) _19_one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting_20_.

The transition from old fuels to new will be slow, as will the development of new technologies that present feasible alternatives to fossil fuels or help eliminate food and water problems. All current technologies are inadequate, and new ones will probably not be commercially possible by 2025
