单项选择题
Passage One
According to psychologists, most people buy things ______.
A.to meet their basic needs in life
B.to enjoy spending money
C.for a different reason from the one they claim
D.to satisfy their inexplicable psychological needs
答案
参考答案:C
解析:
[分析]: 事实细节的找寻和判断。 关于人们购物的原因,原文认为购物者认为他们买便宜货有利于家庭节约开支,但实际上他们在玩一场令人心动的游戏:如果他们买的东西比别人便宜,他们便认为自己是赢家。原文因此得出结论Most people,experts claim,have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason 由此可见,C项内容“大部分人购物的真实原因与他们声称的不同”与原文意思相符,是正确答案。[解题关键] 通过上下文掌握语义。
