Choose the best answer (根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案) (每题2分，共12分) Have you ever bought something and felt happy right away? There’s a reason for that! Here’s why shopping can be fun and how to do it wisely. Many people talk about shopping therapy. It means shopping can make you feel better. When you buy something nice, your brain makes chemicals that help you feel happy. That’s why buying a little can cheer you up when you’re having a bad day. Buying something new can give you quick happiness. Whether it’s a new coat, a coffee or a phone, spending money can make you feel good for a short time. But the feeling doesn’t last long. It’s important to shop carefully. Sometimes we shop because of our feelings, not because we really need something. This is called emotional shopping. Maybe you buy things when you feel sad, bored or stressed. When you notice this, you can try to stop and think first before buying. It’s nice to treat yourself to something small, which can be a good way to make yourself happy. Just remember not to spend too much or buy things you don’t really need. Have you ever bought something and then felt bad later? This is called buyer’s regret. It happens when people buy too much or choose things they don’t truly want. Thinking before you buy can help you avoid this feeling. Shopping can bring a bit of happiness, but it’s important to think about what you buy. A small gift for yourself can be fun, but shopping too often or spending too much won’t make you happy for long. The best way is balance—have fun shopping, but shop smart! 25. What does “shopping therapy” mean in the text? A. A medical treatment you get at shops. B. Shopping to help you feel better. C. A special type of shopping discount. D. Shopping for health products. 26. According to the text, why does shopping make us feel happy? A. Because it helps us forget bad feelings for a while. B. Because we can reward ourselves after hard work. C. Because our brain makes “feel-good” chemicals. D. Because spending money shows our success. 27. What is “emotional shopping”? A. Shopping for gifts for people you love. B. Shopping for special occasions only. C. Shopping without thinking about the hidden cost. D. Shopping based on feelings rather than real needs. 28. What advice does the writer give about treating yourself? A. Never buy anything just to feel happy. B. It’s okay to treat yourself, but find a balance. C. Treat yourself if it can make you feel better. D. Only buy yourself gifts when there’s a sale. 29. What does “buyer’s regret” mean? A. When you feel bad after buying something. B. When you can’t find what you want to buy. C. When shops don’t accept returns or give refunds. D. When you forget to buy something important. 30. What is the main idea of the text? A. Shopping can bring short-term happiness, but it should be done wisely. B. Shopping can be enjoyable when it helps people relax or feel better. C. Shopping can cause regret if people buy more than they need. D. Shopping can make people happy, but not everyone feels the same way. 【答案】25. B 26. C 27. D 28. B 29. A 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了购物带来快乐的原因，以及如何明智购物的建议，包括购物疗法、情绪购物、买家后悔等概念。 【25题详解】 第二段明确指出：“Many people talk about shopping therapy. It means shopping can make you feel better”，说明购物疗法是指通过购物让自己感觉更好。 【26题详解】 第二段明确指出：“When you buy something nice, your brain makes chemicals that help you feel happy”，说明购物让我们快乐是因为大脑产生让人快乐的化学物质。 【27题详解】 第四段明确指出：“Sometimes we shop because of our feelings, not because we really need something. This is called emotional shopping”，说明情绪购物是指基于感受而非实际需求进行购物。 【28题详解】 最后一段指出“A small gift for yourself can be fun, but shopping too often or spending too much won’t make you happy for long. The best way is balance—have fun shopping, but shop smart”，说明可以奖励自己，但要找到平衡。 【29题详解】 倒数第二段明确指出：“Have you ever bought something and then felt bad later? This is called buyer’s regret”，说明买家后悔是指购买后感到糟糕。 【30题详解】 全文讨论了购物带来的短期快乐，同时强调了明智购物的重要性，因此主要观点是购物能带来短期快乐，但应明智地进行。 C.

Nothing makes me happier than finding a great deal, so I always check for discounts and special offers. Last week, I bought a lovely dress online -it was half price!

Choose the best answer (根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案) (每题2分，共12分) Have you ever bought something and felt happy right away? There’s a reason for that! Here’s why shopping can be fun and how to do it wisely. Many people talk about shopping therapy. It means shopping can make you feel better. When you buy something nice, your brain makes chemicals that help you feel happy. That’s why buying a little can cheer you up when you’re having a bad day. Buying something new can give you quick happiness. Whether it’s a new coat, a coffee or a phone, spending money can make you feel good for a short time. But the feeling doesn’t last long. It’s important to shop carefully. Sometimes we shop because of our feelings, not because we really need something. This is called emotional shopping. Maybe you buy things when you feel sad, bored or stressed. When you notice this, you can try to stop and think first before buying. It’s nice to treat yourself to something small, which can be a good way to make yourself happy. Just remember not to spend too much or buy things you don’t really need. Have you ever bought something and then felt bad later? This is called buyer’s regret. It happens when people buy too much or choose things they don’t truly want. Thinking before you buy can help you avoid this feeling. Shopping can bring a bit of happiness, but it’s important to think about what you buy. A small gift for yourself can be fun, but shopping too often or spending too much won’t make you happy for long. The best way is balance—have fun shopping, but shop smart! 25. What does “shopping therapy” mean in the text? A. A medical treatment you get at shops. B. Shopping to help you feel better. C. A special type of shopping discount. D. Shopping for health products. 26. According to the text, why does shopping make us feel happy? A. Because it helps us forget bad feelings for a while. B. Because we can reward ourselves after hard work. C. Because our brain makes “feel-good” chemicals. D. Because spending money shows our success. 27. What is “emotional shopping”? A. Shopping for gifts for people you love. B. Shopping for special occasions only. C. Shopping without thinking about the hidden cost. D. Shopping based on feelings rather than real needs. 28. What advice does the writer give about treating yourself? A. Never buy anything just to feel happy. B. It’s okay to treat yourself, but find a balance. C. Treat yourself if it can make you feel better. D. Only buy yourself gifts when there’s a sale. 29. What does “buyer’s regret” mean? A. When you feel bad after buying something. B. When you can’t find what you want to buy. C. When shops don’t accept returns or give refunds. D. When you forget to buy something important. 30. What is the main idea of the text? A. Shopping can bring short-term happiness, but it should be done wisely. B. Shopping can be enjoyable when it helps people relax or feel better. C.
