Are you a problem shopper? The answer is “Yes”, if you or someone else thinks that you sometimes get carried away with shopping. In other words, do you or does someone else think you are occupied in extreme shopping? If people have regrets later about their shopping, or have an “out-of-control” feeling about the quantities of what they buy or the amount of credit they use, they may be considered to be problem shoppers.
Extreme shopping can lead to a more serious problem — addictive shopping. Addictive shoppers feel driven by the desire to shop and spend money. They experience great tension which drives them to shop and spend money and they feel a “rush” during the time they are occupied with the shopping activity.
Extreme or addictive shopping may result from long-time unpleasant feelings, of which anxiety, pain and shame are common ones. When we feel bad inside, we often do something to make ourselves feel better. In this case, we often go shopping.
A few people shop to relieve their boredom or emptiness. For some people, the motivation is a desire for status, power, beauty or success. Some love to shop as it makes them feel valued in the eyes of the shop assistants. Others shop simply because it makes them forget, at least temporarily, tension, fear or unhappiness in their life.
Besides, shopping malls are designed to encourage continual shopping. For instance, there are some malls where you can’t see clocks displaying the time because they don’t want you to become too aware of the time you spend there. What’s more, food courts, coffee shops and restrooms are provided, so you don’t have to leave the mall because of your physical needs.
Therefore, once you become aware of how market forces work, you will certainly come to control your shopping behavior. For example, how much time you will spend and what areas you will visit can be decided before you enter the mall. Keep a written account of what items you will buy and how much money you will spend. Make a plan for what you are going to buy before you feel the urge to shop and then stick to it. That is vital for gaining self-control.
【小题1】Which of the following people may not be problem shoppers?
A.Those who cannot control the amount of credit they use. |
B.Those who just walk around the shopping malls. |
C.Those who are occupied in too much shopping. |
D.Those who feel sorry for their shopping. |
A.The awareness of how market forces work. |
B.The desire for status, power, beauty or success. |
C.Boredom, emptiness, tension, fear or unhappiness in people’s life. |
D.Long-time bad feelings of anxiety, pain and shame. |
A.Never going to the shopping malls because there are many tricks. |
B.Applying for a credit card before we go shopping. |
C.Making the shopping time as short as possible. |
D.Making a shopping list before we go shopping. |
A.inform the shopping malls how to attract more shoppers |
B.scold the problem shoppers |
C.provide solutions to the problem shopping |
D.tell a shopping story |

Before Alaska became part of the U.S., it had been owned by Russia. Trading posts and small settlements were scattered along the coast. The rest of land was left unexplored. The Russians were mainly interested in the wealth of furs from the vast herds of seals they found there.
By the mid-1800’s, most of the seal herds had been wiped out, and Russia no longer wanted to keep Alaska. William Seward, Secretary of State for President Johnson, believed the United States should buy Alaska from Russia. President Johnson wasn’t so sure it was a wise way to spend U.S. money, but he agreed to let Seward discuss it with the Russians. Acting quickly, Seward made a deal. On March 30, 1867, he signed an agreement for the U.S. to pay seven million dollars for the land.
Many people thought it was a foolish waste of America’s money. They called the deal “Seward’s folly”. Then gold was discovered in Alaska and public opinion changed quickly.
Seward did not live to see the true value of Alaska. He died in 1872, five years after making the purchase (购买). Each year, Alaska’s natural resources(资源) have brought in many times the $7,000,000 paid for it. Natural gas, coal, oil, lumber, seafood and other minerals, besides the gold first found, have made it a valuable addition to the United States. In 1959, Alaska be-came the 49th state of the United States.
【小题1】The Russians wanted to sell Alaska because ______.
A.they thought it wasn’t a good place |
B.they thought it didn’t belong to Russia |
C.they couldn’t find enough seals there |
D.they wanted to earn more money from the U.S. |
A.it was a successful deal | B.it had its true value |
C.he wasted U.S. money | D.he was clever |
A.Gas. | B.Coal. | C.Oil. | D.Gold. |
A.Alaska, a beautiful place | B.Alaska with natural resources |
C.Alaska, the 49th state of the U.S. | D.Alaska, home to seals |
