Do most men hate shopping with women? Forum(论坛)readers share their opinions
25、.YinsXZ (US)Hey, that is an absolutely nice idea. I like it. It also makes it easier for women who have lots of bags to be able to drop them off at the nursery for boyfriends to watch over while they return to shop for more! Set it up with wifi too and you have a perfect hang out spot. And most impo
26、rtantly, dont have to wait for complaints from the woman when I stop to look at computers or tools!Sunnylin01 (China)Most women like shopping while most men dont. Men generally dont spend hours deciding color, comparison shopping or finding the sale prices. They know what they want, get in, buy them
27、 and get out. 10-15 minutes and theyre done. This is quite different from how a woman shops. Going from store to store, trying to find the best ones. The trying will spend hours.Seneca (a foreigner in China)Many women view shopping as an entertaining way to get down from high stress levels. My wife
28、is one of those. Stress comes too naturally to her; driving a car, doing her job, dealing with workmates all lead to some rising of her stress level. So shopping ideally happens every day. For me, that amount of shopping is stressful.Blonde Amber (Ireland)Some men take hours comparing products, tryi
29、ng things out, finding sales prices. They dont always know what they want but enjoy just looking. Men can shop the same as women for things they are interested in and spend hours doing it. Equally not all women like shopping and go in, 10-15 minutes and they are done. People are not black and white,
30、 and dont fit into boxes.51. According to forum readers, which is not the benefit of opening a “husband nursery”?A. Women can finish their shopping in a shorter time.B. Women can enjoy shopping more with bags left in mens care.C. Men can escape the complaints from women.D. Men can relax themselves w
31、hen women are shopping.52. Which saying below can best describe Sunnylin01 and Senecas opinion?A. A good wife makes a good husband.B. Joy and sorrow are next-door neighbors.C. One mans meat is another mans poison.D. Experience is the mother of wisdom.53. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph
32、 implies that _.A. black people and white people are different in sizeB. people shouldnt draw general conclusion blindly C. people with different skins have different viewsD. shopping is not suitable for all kinds of peopleBWhen young people begin to live independently, home-hunting can be difficult
33、. But they would do well to remember that a new choice is available - micro-homes.Fondly called “tiny houses,” these houses have all living necessities in a small package, including kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Generally under 50 square meters, most tiny houses can hold just one or two people thou
34、gh some claim the space for more. Whats lost in size is not lost in design(设计) as these homes are often quite modern in design.Besides an attractive appearance, tiny houses can also have practical features. Making the best of urban space, the 72-to-122-centimeter-wide Keret House in Warsaw, the worl
35、ds narrowest home, filled in an alley(小巷). The home Ecocapsule uses solar power, wind power and rainwater collection to enable its owner to live practically anywhere. Although micro-homes are attractive, there are a few disadvantages to consider before getting comfortable on a minicouch. Moving into
36、 a tiny house, you should throw away unnecessary things. It is also mostly impossible to invite guests. And finally, a micro-home is likely a temporary(暂时的) living choice for most people since they will probably start families and own more things.Though the limitation will scare some, there is usual
37、ly a benefit. A small size results in low prices and small bills, making tiny houses easier to save up for. And though you wont have many things around the house, it makes it easy and simple to keep it clean. Micro-homes are also eco-friendly, which cant be matched by other homes. They probably aren
38、t for everyone or forever, but when it comes to your next (or first) home, they could be just what you need.54. What can be learnt about micro-homes from Paragraph 2?A. These houses are convenient though tiny in size. B. All of the houses can hold more than two people.C. People cant take a package i
39、nto the tiny houses.D. Such houses are poorly designed due to the small size.55. The author develops Paragraph 3 mainly _.A. by order in spaceB. by comparisonsC. by examples D. by causes and effects56. Micro-homes are especially suitable for _.A. a young person who has many thingsB. a family hoping
40、to settle down in a cityC. a couple who want to protect environmentD. a person who doesnt have much money 57. What can be the best title for the text?A. East or west, home is the best.B. Tiny or large, this is a choice.C. Home-hunting - no easy matter!D. Micro-homes - more than tiny! CThe Bermuda Tr
41、iangle is an area in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean, near Florida in the USA, where a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared mysteriously. The earliest suggestion of unusual disappearances in the Bermuda area appeared in a September 17, 1950 article. Two years later,
42、 Fatemagazine published “Sea Mystery at Our Back Door”, covering the loss of several planes and ships, including the loss of Flight 19. Flight 19 alone would be covered again in the April 1962 issue of American Legion magazine. In it, author Allan W. Eckert wrote that the flight leader had been hear
43、d saying, “We are entering white water. Nothing seems right. We dont know where we are.” In the February 1964, the article “The Deadly Bermuda Triangle” argued that Flight 19 and other disappearances were just part of strange events in the area. Triangle writers have used a number of supernatural ideas to explain the events. One explanation refers to leftover technology from the mysterious lost continent of Atlantis. Some of the Triangle writers related the events toUFOs. This idea was used by Steven Spielberg for his science fiction film Close Encounters of the Thir
