            People can be addicted to different things— e.g.alcohol, drug, certain foods,or eventelevision.People who have such an addiction are compulsive: they have a very powerfulpsychological need that they feel they must satisfy.According to psychologists, many peopleare compulsive spenders.They feel that they must spend money.This compulsion, like mostothers, is impossible to explain reasonably.For compulsive spenders who buy on credit, chargeaccounts are even more exciting than money.In other words, compulsive spenders feel thatwith credit, they can do anything.Their pleasure in spending large amounts is actually greaterthan the pleasure that they get from the things they buy.

There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting.To save money, of course, mostpeople look for sales, low prices, and discounts.Compulsive bargain hunters,however, oftenbuy things that they don't need just because they are cheap.They want to believe that they arehelping their budgets, but they are really playing an exciting game.When they can buysomething for less than other people, they feel that they are winners.Most people, expertsclaim, have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for the things that they do and thereal reason.

It is not only scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, butalso 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 andopinions, and so on in their advertising and sales methods.

阅读《说“勤”》,回答下面问题。(10分)

说“勤”

林家箴

①中国有句俗话,叫做“一勤天下无难事”。唐朝大文学家韩愈也曾经说过:“业精于勤”。这就是说,学业方面的精深造诣来源于勤奋好学。  

②勤,对好学上进的人来说,是一种美德。我们所说的勤,就是要人们善于珍惜时间,勤于学习,勤于思考,勤于探索,勤于实践,勤于总结。看古今中外,凡有建树者,在其历史的每一页上,无不都用辛勤的汗水写着一个闪光的大字——“勤”。  

③勤出成果。马克思写《资本论》,辛勤劳动,艰苦奋斗了四十年,阅读了数量惊人的书籍和刊物,其中做过笔记的就有一千五百种以上;我国历史巨著《史记》的作者司马迁,从二十岁起就开始漫游生活,足迹遍及黄河、长江流域,汇集了大量的社会素材和历史素材,为《史记》的创作奠定了基础;德国伟大诗人、小说家和戏剧家歌德,前后花了五十八年的时间,搜集了大量的材料,写出了对世界文学和思想界产生很大影响的诗剧《浮士德》;我国年轻的数学家陈景润,在攀登数学高峰的道路上,翻阅了国内外的有关上千本资料,通宵达旦地看书学习,取得了震惊世界的成就;上海女知识青年曹南薇,坚持自学十年如一日,终于考上了高能物理研究生。可见,任何一项成就的取得,都是与勤奋分不开的,古今中外,概莫能外。  

④勤出聪慧。传说古希腊有一个叫德摩斯梯尼的演说家,因小时口吃,登台演讲时,声音浑浊,发音不准,常常被雄辩的对手所压倒。但是,他气不馁,心不灰,为克服这个弱点,战胜雄辩的对手,便每天口含石子,面对大海朗诵,不管春夏秋冬,雨雪风霜,坚持五十年如一日,连爬山、跑步也边走边做演说,终于成为全希腊最有名气的演说家。我国宋代学者朱熹也讲过这样一个故事:福州有一个叫陈正元的人,一篇小文章也要读一二百遍才能读熟。可是他不懒不怠,勤学苦练,别人读一遍,他就读三遍、四遍,天长日久,知识与日俱增,后来终于“无书不读”,成了一个博学之士。这说明,即使有些天资比较差、反映比较迟钝的人,只要有勤奋好学的精神,同样也是可以弃拙为巧,变拙为灵的。  

⑤实践证明,勤奋是点燃智慧的火把。一个人的知识多寡,关键在于勤奋的程度如何。懒惰者,永远不会在事业上有所建树,永远不会使自己变得聪明起来。唯有勤奋者,才能在知识海洋里猎取到真智实才,才能不断地开拓知识领域,获得知识的酬报,使自己变得聪明起来。高尔基说过:“天才出于勤奋。”卡莱尔也说过:“天才就是无止境刻苦勤奋的能力。”这就是说,只要我们不怠于勤,善求于勤,就一定能在艰苦的劳动中赢得事业上的巨大成就。我想每一个渴望能得到真知灼见的人,是一定能够体会到“勤”的深刻含意的。
