television. People who have such an addiction are compulsive(强迫的): they have a very powerful
psychological need that they feel they must satisfy. According to psychologists, many people are
compulsive spenders. They feel that they must spend money. This compulsion, like most others, is
impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive spenders who buy on credit(以赊欠方式), 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 large amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that
they get from the things they buy.
There is even 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 that they
don"t need just because they are cheap. They want to believe that they are helping their budgets(预算),
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 the 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 values, their beliefs and opinions, and so on in their advertising and sales methods. Psychologists often use a method called "behavior therapy(疗法)" to help
individuals solve their personality problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money.
B. in order to satisfy his or her basic needs in life
C. just to meet his or her strong psychological need
D. and feels he or she is cheated
B. Business people and advertisers can use the psychology of people"s spending habits to increase sales.

C. A special psychology of bargain hunting.
D. The use of the psychology of spending habits in business.
B. need special treatment
C. are really beyond drugs
D. can never get any help to solve their problems with money
These days, people are concerned about the growing number of kids who are overweight.
Do you know why? Kids know it"s a problem, too. We recently asked 1, 168 boys and girls about
the problem. More than half of them (52%) said that too many kids were overweight.
"This is important because knowing there is a problem is the first step to solve the problem," said
Dr Sandra Hassink, a doctor in Delaware who helps kids with weight problems.
What does "overweight" mean? Most people who are overweight have too much body fat. The
person who is overweight weighs more than a healthy person, considering age, height, and whether
the person is a boy or a girl.
When asked why some kids were overweight, many of the kids (54%) said it was because
overweight kids didn"t exercise enough or eat right. Others said that kids were overweight because
fast food restaurants served the wrong foods.
The research also asked the kids some questions about themselves. Most of the group (78%) said
they were either the right weight or underweight. The rest of the group thought they were overweight,
with 4% of the kids saying that they were very overweight.
The research results don"t prove that 4% of the kids were very overweight, but it shows that 4%
of the kids believed they were overweight and answered in that way. On top of that ,54% of the kids
said they worried or stressed out about their weight, with more girls feeling in this way. Of those who
said they never worry about their weight, 59% were boys and 33% were girls.
older stay connected using sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, according to new research.
"The latest data tells us that more and more social networking is becoming a part of everyday life
for Americans 50 plus," said Kevin Donnellan, the chief communications officer at AARP, which
released the report.
Nearly a quarter of older Americans are on Facebook and 73 percent said they use it to stay in
touch with relatives, but not just their children and grandchildren. "They are using the Internet to keep
up with the world and the people who are important to them," said Jean Koppen, the author of the
report. She added that older adults are also on Facebook to stay connected, not only with their family,
but with their friends and those in the same age group. Almost 50 percent of older adults were
introduced to the social networking sites by a family member, mainly a child or grandchild. "Just under
one-fifth of adults aged 50 and older say they do not use the Internet," according to the report.
The findings are based on a telephone survey of 1,863 adults. In addition to keeping up on Facebook
and Twitter older adults are aware of the latest technology. Eighty-three percent had heard about the
Apple iPad and 11 percent intended to buy one.
Despite the popularity of the Internet among the over 50s, they still mostly go to print newspapers
and magazines for news. Only one percent said they followed blogs.

professors can remember, large numbers of freshmen were arriving with enough knowledge of
the Chinese language to start in second- or third-year Chinese language class, rather than basic
Chinese.
The American interest in China is not just at the university level. In the 2006 school year, high-school
students will be offered an Advanced Placement test, which is one of the national exams American
students take for university admission, in Chinese. This is the first time Chinese is offered in the
Advanced Placement test, which is usually limited to the most important subjects that high school
students take.
What is surprising is that earlier last year, an organization that tracks university students surveyed
high schools throughout America, asking if they planned to offer the language courses that prepare
students for the language Advanced Placement test. They expected that only a hundred high schools,
mostly in California, New York, and a few other places with large immigrant populations, would show
interest in each of the new language programs. Although that was true for the courses in Italian, Russian
and Japanese, it was not true for the Chinese language course. There were thousands of American
high schools that indicated that they planned to build their Chinese programs to levels where students
could take the Advanced Placement exam for Chinese language. The demand for courses in Chinese is
rising so rapidly that it is rapidly overtaking all other foreign languages except Spanish.
B. needn"t learn Chinese any more
C. take courses in the Chinese language
D. go to university to study Chinese
B. learn more than one foreign language
C. take the Advanced Placement Test
D. used to have a test in Chinese
B. Americans will know more about China
C. the U.S. government pays much attention to language studies
D. Chinese may take the place of English in American universities
In the past decade the popularity of rock climbing has greatly increased, and so has the number of
injuries. It has been estimated that rock climbing is now enjoyed by more than 9 million people in the US
each year. Study findings revealed a 65 percent increase in the number of patients that were treated in US emergency departments for rock climbingrelated injuries between 1991 and 2008.
The study, published in the online issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, found that
about 40, 000 patients were treated in US emergency departments for rock climbingrelated injuries
between 1991 and 2008. The most common types of rock climbingrelated injuries were fractures (骨折)
and sprains (扭伤). The ankle was the most common body part to be injured (40 percent). Climbers in the study ranged in age from 2 to 74, with an average age of 26. The study also found that women took up a
quarter of the injuries.
Falls were the primary reason for injury with over threequarters of the injuries occurring as the result of a fall. The severity of fallrelated injuries had a lot to do with the height of the fall. Patients who were injured after falling from a height over 20 feet were 10 times more likely to be treated than patients who were
injured falling from 20 feet or lower.
"We found that the climbers who fell from heights higher than 20 feet took up 70 percent of the patients treated for a rock climbingrelated injury," explained the study author Lara McKenzie, PhD, director at
the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Hospital." This trend, combined with the fact that rock climbers have a higher hospitalization rate than other sports and recreational injuries, demonstrates the need to increase injury prevention efforts for climbers."

D. About 10,000.
