The popularity of Buy Now,Pay Later(BNPL) plans has soared.They promise freedom and flexibility,but the ease of use can trick our minds.When payment is divided into smaller payments,we are wired to feel less emotionally tired.Although the ￡15 payments seem insignificant,they quickly add up.Psychologists found that when the act of paying is separated from the act of purchasing,we experience less “pain of paying”,which makes us more likely to overspend.In societies where digital credit is easily accessible but financial education is limited,this behaviour can fall into lasting debt.Stress over money doesn’t stay in the bank.It follows us into our homes and even our sleep.Researches have shown that personal debt is strongly associated with depression and anxiety. That’s why we need to talk about money more often—not just how to make it,but how we feel about it—in families,schools,workplaces,and therapy rooms.Therapists should be able to ask about financial stress with confidence.Financial education ought to be treated as essential in schools.Additionally,we should normalize debt-related conversations to relieve people’s feelings of shame.Financial stress can make you feel helpless.But by addressing the emotional side of money and building healthier habits,we can move from crisis to confidence. We live in a world where money is invisible.But the emotional burden it takes is very real.If we start noticing that cost,we might finally treat money not only as a resource,but as something deeply psychological. 1.What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1? A.Klarna and Clearpay help people save money. B.Digital payments are now relatively preferred. C.Invisible payments have improved mental health. D.Installments ease the emotional spending burden. 2.What may BNPL result in? A.Improved financial knowledge. B.Easy access to digital credit. C.Overspending and long-term debt. D.Decrease of small-amount expenses. 3.How can we build healthier financial habits? A.Value financial education. B.Hide feelings of shame. C.Mask people’s financial stress. D.Highlight debt-related problems. 4.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Cash Shopping:The Healthy Way of Consumption B.Money’s Emotional Cost:Beyond Invisible Payments C.BNPL:A New Approach to Boost Consumer Spending D.Financial Education:The Core to Cutting Expenses B (2026广东惠州高二期中) The study,published in the Journal of Child Psychology & Psychiatry,compared survey results of parents with their children in England and Wales from the ages of 16 months to 13 years.The research team found that average levels of food fussiness(挑食) were relatively stable during this period,peaking somewhat around the age of 7 and declining slightly after that.They concluded that genetic differences in the population accounted for 60% of the variation in food fussiness at 16 months,rising to 74% and over between the ages of 3 and 13. Lead author Dr Zeynep Nas said,“Food fussiness is common among children and can be a major source of anxiety for parents and caregivers,who often blame themselves for this behaviour or are blamed by others.We hope our finding that fussy eating is largely inborn may help to ease parental blame.This behaviour is not a result of parenting.” Senior author Dr Clare Llewellyn said,“While genetic factors are the major influence for food fussiness,environment also plays a supporting role.Environmental factors,such as sitting down together as a family to eat meals,may only be significant in toddlerhood(蹒跚学步期);While environmental factors,such as individual personal experiences(e.g.,having different friends),become more influential in later years.” This suggests that interventions(干预) to help children eat a wider range of foods,such as repeatedly exposing children to the same foods regularly and offering a variety of fruits and vegetables,may be most effective in the very early years.Unique environmental factors accounted for about a quarter of individual differences between children in fussy eating by ages 7 and 13,the researchers estimated. Among the study limitations,the researchers noted that there were fewer participants at age 7 compared to other time points and that the study sample(样本) had a large percentage of white British households of higher social economic backgrounds compared to the general population of England and Wales.In future,the team said,research should focus on non-western populations where food culture,parental feeding practices and food security may be quite different. 5.According to paragraph 1,what does the study tell us? A.Teenagers over 13 years old have a balanced diet. B.Children at 7 have the highest level of food fussiness. C.Variation in food fussiness causes genetic differences. D.Children become more particular about food with age. 6.What did Dr Zeynep Nas suggest? A.Parents should be blamed for children’s food fussiness. B.Food fussiness is mainly caused by genetic factors. C.Children should be forced to eat various foods. D.Parents should avoid eating with their children. 7.According to Dr Clare Llewellyn,which of the following is important for young children’s eating habits? A.Having meals with family. B.Making more friends. C.Stick to a single food. D.Exercising regularly. 8.What is the limitation of the study? A.It only focused on children in England and Wales. B.It didn’t consider the influence of environment. C.It had a small number of participants at age 7. D.It didn’t distinguish between different genders. 知识积累卡 一、重点单词 1.witness v.　　　　　  2.profoundly adv.　　　　　  3.normalize v.　　　　　　　　　　　  4.relatively adv.　　　　　  5.estimate v.　　　　　  二、熟词生义 1.exit　本文义:v.　　　　　　　其他义:n.　　　　　　  2.soar　本文义:v.　　　　　　　　　 　其他义:v.　　　　　　  3.peak　本文义:v.　　　　　　　　　　　其他义:n.　　　　　　　  三、词块速记 1.fall into lasting debt 　　　　　　　　　  2.be strongly associated with depression and anxiety 　　　　　　　　　　　　  3.account for 60% 　　　　　  4.blame themselves for this behaviour 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  四、长难句分析 Psychologists found that when the act of paying is separated from the act of purchasing,we experience less “pain of paying”,which makes us more likely to overspend. 分析:本句是主从复合句。that引导　　　　　　从句;在从句中,when引导　　　　　　　从句;which引导　　　　　　从句。  句意:　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 参考答案 Ⅰ.1.towel　2.relied　3.switched　4.profile　5.fundraising Ⅱ.1.to stay　2.security　3.on　4.doing　5.distraction 6.to　7.constantly　8.on Ⅲ.1.Step away from the computer　2.make full use of the most extensive educational resources　3.make it a popular tourist attraction　4.with their hearts beating wildly　5.leaving me into deeper anxiety Ⅳ.Activity 1 1.a sense of uneasiness slowly crept over him　2.had to switch his old mindset　3.occupied his every thought;motivating him to strive for better　4.to access more knowledge and skills 5.couldn’t rely on others　6.With a determined glint in his eyes Activity 2 As he stood at the crossroads of life,a sense of uneasiness slowly crept over him.He knew he had to switch his old mindset.The burning desire to succeed occupied his every thought,constantly motivating him to strive for better.Eager to access more knowledge and skills,he realized he couldn’t rely on others but himself to grow.With a determined glint in his eyes,he took the first step towards the unknown path of self-improvement,ready to face whatever challenges awaited.
