[对应学生用书P442] Ⅰ.阅读理解 (2022·西安复习检测)Men have long been puzzled by the amount women pack when they go on holiday. They despair as they watch their beloved spend much money on extra baggage charge. Nearly half of these women admitted to lying about the weight of their cases to their partners before leaving for the airport，in fear of being made to unload some unnecessary items. But it's a fact that women pack more than they need. On average，a woman needs around 57 items in the suitcase for a two­week holiday，yet most women pack nearer to 150 items，ranging from skirts，tops，underwear to high heels. In addition，women pack more sun cream，makeup and hair appliances than they are likely to need. They all take up space in the suitcase，and only a third of them will see the light of day once at the holiday place. 79 percent of women admitted to taking extra items with them，with the reason for this being “just in case”．Women plan their holiday wardrobe months in advance. Packing enough clothes and other items to last a month is not enough for some women. They'd take a chance to shop for new items while holidaying abroad. So they'll return with even more luggage in their cases. Professor Karen Pine said，“Women are tempted to take familiar items with them on holiday，often everything except the kitchen sink. Some people find travels stressful，particularly when they're unsure about the home comforts available at their holiday place. They overpack to help cope with those feelings of stress and reduce the uncertainties.” This will come as no surprise to some men，who are used to trying to squeeze their partners' luggage into the boot of the car with their own smaller cases. On the other hand，men pack very lightly，with only an average of 40 items for a two­week holiday.
