People can be addicted to different things—e.g., alcohol, drugs, certain foods, or even television. People who have such an addiction are compulsive, i.e., they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must satisfy. According to psychologists, many people are compulsive spenders: they feel they must spend money. This compulsion, like most others, is irrational—impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive spenders who buy on credit, charge accounts are even more exciting than money. In other words, compulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasure in spending enormous amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy.
There is a special psychology of bargain hunting. To save money, of course, most people look for sales, low prices and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy things they don’t need just because they are cheap. They want to believe that they are helping their budgets, but they are really playing an exciting game: when they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winning. Most people, experts claim, have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for things that they do and the real reason.
It is not only scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also business people. Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business: they consider people’s needs for love, power, or influence, their basic value, their beliefs and opinions, and so on in their advertising and sales methods.
Psychologists can often use a method called "behavior therapy" to help individuals solve their personality problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money. [br] Which of the following is TRUE?
选项
A、All people spend money for exactly the same reason that they need to buy things.
B、Business people and advertisers use the psychology of spending habits to increase sales.
C、Business people understand the psychology of compulsive buying better than scientists do.
D、Compulsive bargain hunters do not have problems with money.
答案
B
解析
A 和D 与文章的内容正好相反。而文章第三段提到不但科学家而且商人也"understand the psychology of spending habits",但并未说明谁了解得多一些,谁了解得少一些,所以C 也不是正确答案。只有B 与第三段正好相符,因此B 为正确答案。
