He knows what he wants, and his aim is to find it and buy it. Most men simply walk into a shop and ask someone for what they want. If the shop has it, and the price is good, they often finish shopping in less than five minutes, to everyones satisfaction.For a man, some problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants. At that time, the salesman tries to sell the man something else. He offers something that is almost the same as the article the man wants. Good salespeople say, I know this jacket is not what you really want, sir, but would you like to try it for size. It happens to be the color you like. Most men dont care about this and may answer, This may be the right color and the right size, but I wont waste my time trying it on.For a woman, it is different. Most of the time, she goes shopping not because she needs something. She hasnt decided what she wants before she goes shopping. She just goes to have a look around. At first, she thinks about finding something that everyone will say It looks good on you. Most women are always looking for bargains(特价商品). A woman may easily spend an hour looking at dresses before she wants to try on. It is a tiresome（令人厌烦的) process. Most clothes stores provide chairs for the waiting husbands.（1）According to the underlined sentence in the first paragraph, we know that men decide what they want . A . before they go shoppingB . after they go into shopsC . right awayD . after thinking about it for a while（2）What does but I wont waste my time trying it on mean in the second paragraph? A . The jacket is not the right color.B . The man has no time.C . The jacket is not what the man wants.D . The man doesnt want to buy anything at all.（3）The underlined word article in the second paragraph is . A . a piece of writingB . a part of an agreementC . a thingD . a jacket（4）Which of the following is NOT true according to the text? A . Men buy clothes faster than women.B . Most women always look for bargains.C . Most women like to have a look around.D . Most clothes stores provide chairs for the children.5. （10分）根据短文理解，选择正确答案。Imagine the situation. You are driving along a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device(装置) which uses satellites (卫星) to find the users position(位置). It can find your position to within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates(计算) its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate(精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.（1）According to the passage, with the help of the GPS, people _.A . cant be lost in a new cityB . cant find their way in different countriesC . can learn about the culture of an unknown placeD . can spend the least time getting to another place（2）We can learn from the passage that _.A . there are three parts to the GPSB . a GPS cant be put into a watchC . a GPS can help you start your carD . the GPS are becoming more and more expensive（3）The underlined word “They” in paragraph 3 means “_”.A .
