When asked if he has the cnfidence t break the recrd this year, Chevalier says that the threshld(临界点) differs frm persn t persn. "I’m nt sure actually. Mine is bviusly very lw. But the frecast might nt be in my favr," he adds.

[2023河南郑州一测]Have yu ever had such an experience — ging shpping and buying mre than yu need when yu feel upset? 1

Mre than half f the 1,000 cnsumers interviewed by Credit Karma said they had shpped t deal with feelings f stress r anxiety. 2
In fact, shpping t reduce stress can actually help yu live a healthier life by making sure that yur bld pressure is lwered. Shpping t relieve stress is als jkingly called "retail therapy(购物疗法)" as a frm f regulating stress. 3 And that feeling fllwing thse purchases was lng-lasting.
Hwever, the side effect f retail therapy, fr many, can be relatively harmless at first but in the lng term it culd pssibly use up savings and cause cnflicts, thus adding a significant amunt f stress t a persn’s life.
Preparing a list befre shpping is the best way t avid the side effect f retail therapy. Whether yu’re purchasing presents r buying grceries, having the items yu need written dwn will make yu quite clear and sensible while yu’re shpping. 4 That way yu’ll be mre likely t cmmit t it. Yu can buy a cup f cffee while shpping r plan a fun activity when yu return hme.
5 Everyne’s financial situatin is different. Cmparisn usually leads t debt and dissatisfactin with what yu already have. Appreciate what yu currently have by practicing gratitude.

作者在文章中分析了过度消费的优点和缺点,并结合例子给出了合理的建议。
1.C 由空前的"ging shpping and buying mre than yu need when yu feel upset"可推知,空处内容应与过度消费相关;结合下文提到的"一项研究表明购物可以让人们不那么悲伤"可知,此处应该与过度购物是否会让人们开心有关以引出下文,故选C。
2.G 由空前的"Mre than half f the 1, they had shpped"可知,空处内容应与被采访的消费者有关,G项符合语境,且G选项中的"them"与空前一句中的"cnsumers"相对应。
3.F 空格所在段主要在讲购物疗法的好处,再由空后的"And that feeling fllwing thse purchases was lng-lasting"可推知,空处内容应与某种情感相关,F项中的"a psitive feeling"与空后的that feeling相呼应,故选F。
4.A 由语境可推知,空处内容应与让自己更加忠于购物清单的方法有关;结合空后第二句可知,该方法是奖励自己,故A项(对自己坚持按清单购买商品给予奖励)符合语境。
5.E 由空后内容可知,每个人的财务状况不同,比较通常会带来不利后果,所以本段主要在讲不要比较,故E项"放弃与你的邻居和朋友们攀比的欲望"符合语境。
