       Nearly two decades has passed , I still remember my favourite professor, James Sehwartz. Whenever he smiles ,it’s as if you’d just been told the funniest joke on earth .Almost all his students are his friends, and almost all his students know his life story.

       When James was a teenager ,his father   36   him to a fur factory where he worked . This was during the Great Depression. The   37  was to get James a job.

       He entered the factory ,and immediately felt as if the   38   had closed in around him. The room was dark and hot , the windows covered with dust, and the   39   were packed tightly together ,running like trains. The fur hairs were flying ,   40   a thickened air ,and the workers,

  41   the pieces of fur together , were bent over their needles   42  the boss marched up and down the rows ,searching for them to go faster .James could hardly   43  . He stood next to his father ,frozen with fear ,hoping the boss wouldn’t   44  at him , too.

       During lunch break ,his father took James to the boss and pushed him in front of him,   45 if there was any work for his son. But    46  there was barely enough  47  for the adult labours ,for no one would give it up once he takes a job.

       Thus , for James, it was a   48  . He hated the place. He made a   49  that he kept to the end of his like: he would never do any work that brought    50  to someone else ,and he would never allow himself to    51   money off the seat of others.

       “What will you do?” his mother , Eva , would ask him.

       “I don’t know,” he   52  say. He ruled out law ,because he didn’t like  53   , and he ruled out medicine , because he couldn’t take the    54  of blood.

       “What will you do?”

55  , my best professor I ever had became he thought it was the job not to hurt anybody.

       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 an d 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 self0control.

63．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.

64．According to the passage, what may not result in addictive 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.

65．What does the author suggest to control our shopping behaviour?

       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.
