Eric Brown hates shopping. "It’s just not enjoyable to me," said the 28-year-old. Chicago man who was carrying several shopping bags along the city’s main street, Michigan Avenue. "When I’m out(1), I basically know what I want to get. I rush in. I buy it. I(2)."

"(4)social class, ethnicity, age — men say they hate to shop," says Sharon Zukin, a City University of New York sociology professor. "Yet when you ask them deeper questions, it turns out that they(5)to shop. Men generally like to shop for(6), music and hardware. But if you ask them about the shopping they do for books or music, they’ll say ’Well that’s not shopping. That’s(7) .’" In other words, what men and women call "buying things" and how they approach that task are(8). Women will(9)through several 1,000-square-metre stores in search of the perfect party dress. Men will wander through 100 Internet sites in search of the(10)digital camcorder. Women see shopping as a social event. Men see it as a mission or a(11)to be won.
"Men are frequently shopping to win," says Mary Ann McGrath, a marketing professor at Loyola University of Chicago. "They want to get the best deal. They want to get the best one, The last one and if they do that it(12)them happy."
When women shop, "they’re doing it in a way where they want(13)to be very happy," says McGrath. "They’re kind of shopping for love."
In fact, it is in clothing where we see a male-female(14)most clearly. Why, grumble some men, are all male clothes navy, grey, black or brown? But would they wear Light green and pink?
"These days, many guys wear a sort of uniform", says Paco Underhill, author of Why We Bye, "It’s been hard for them to understand what it means to be fashion-conscious in a business way. It becomes much, much easier if you(15)your range of choices."

选项
A、brings
B、causes
C、makes
D、keeps
答案
C
解析
这个句子要表达的是“这会使得他们快乐”。makes是正确的。如果用brings,须改原文:it brings them happiness.或it brings happiness to them.如用“causes”,也须改原文:it causes them to be come happy.“It keeps them happy.”是可以的,但它的意思是“他们原来就快乐”。但是,是否如此?文章没有说。
