33、的目的就是找到那个东西并买下来，价格倒在其次。”可见，男士不怎么会考虑价格，故选 D。62A 定位：根据题干信息 agood salesman 可将答案定位到第二段第二句。解析：第二段开头提到：“对于男人来说，如果商店没有他想买的东西或者并不完全符合他心里的条件，可能会引发一些小问题。在那种情况下，导购就要像自己的职业名称(导 购)所暗示的那样，尝试卖给顾客别的东西：他把跟顾客要求最接近的东西推荐给他。”可见，一名优秀的导购是能成功将其他东西推销给顾客的，故选 A。63B 定位：根据题干信息 cannot get exactly what he wants 可将答案定位到第二段第一句。解析：第

34、二段描述的是如果商店没有与男人想象的完全一样的商品时，会出现什么情况。题干的重点在于男人的反应，因此寻读到第二段结尾处，此处作者提到：“对于这种情况，男人很少会买账，他们一般都会说：也许衣服的颜色和大小都合适，但要是让我试穿的话，既浪费了你的时间，也浪费了我的。”可见，在这种情况下，男人一般是什么都不会买的，故选 B。64C 定位：根据题干信息 when shopping for clothes，women 可将答案定位到第三段。解析：第三段中提到：“女人总是肯听他人的劝说，她重视女店员的话，甚至是同伴的话。她会什么都试穿一下。在她内心深处，她要找的衣服，是所有人都认为适合她的。”可见，女士很
