问题    People can be addicted to different things—e. g. , alcohol, drugs, certain foods, or even television. People who have such an addiction are compulsive (难以抑制的) : i. e. , 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 irrational—impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive spenders who buy on credit, 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 enormous 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, 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.
According to the writer, compulsive bargain hunters are in constant search of the lowest possible prices______.
选项 A、because they want to save money to help their budgets
B、because they can openly boast of their triumph over others in getting things for less
C、and will not have money problems if they can keep to their budgets
D、and they may feel satisfied if they can get things for less than others
答案D
解析 根据第二段第三句可知，A项错误；根据第二段第五句可知，B项错误；根据第二段第四句“They want to believe that they are helping their budgets，but they are really playing an exciting game．”可知，他们以为自己在省钱，其实只是在玩一个令人兴奋的游戏，也就是说，这些购物狂因为买了很多便宜但不需要的东西反而花了更多的钱，如果继续这样的话，他们将会面临财政问题，所以排除C项。故选D。
