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] According to the author, compulsive bargain hunters are in constant search of the lowest possible price ______.
选项
A、because they want to save money to help their budgets
B、because they can openly boast of their triumph over Others in getting things for less money
C、and will not have money problems if they can keep to their budgets
D、but they seldom admit they feel satisfied if they can get things for less money than others
答案
D
解析
A 和C 虽在第二段中被提到了,但不是追求便宜货者买便宜货的根本原因,因为"(They) of- ten buy things they don’t need just because they are cheap.”。作者在第二段第四句中提到“…they feel that they are winning.”,而并未提及"they can openly boast of their triumph over others in getting things for less money",所以B 也非
