B When you want to go shopping, decide how much money you can spend on new clothes. Think about the kind of clothes you really need. Then look for those clothes you really need.

A sweater label may tell you to wash in cold water. The label on a coat may say “dry clean only”, for washing may ruin this coat. If you do as the directions (说明)on the label, you can keep your clothes looking their best for a long time. Many clothes today must be dry cleaned. Dry cleaning is expensive.

I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique(古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception(接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair. The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth ---- so I decided that my approach must be wrong. I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, Sir?” “20 pounds,” I said, “OK,” he said, “I will give you 20 pounds.” “It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, it’s nothing.” Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I will buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? You have just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know. But I have changed my mind. I am sorry; I will give you 27 pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You are right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said ‘would you mend this chair for me?’” “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I will mend this for you, shall we say for a five?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing. 64. We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer .
