问题     You have probably seen ads(广告) in newspapers or on television for mail-order companies. Perhaps a catalog ue(商品目录) has been sent to you. Why do people buy things they have not seen in person? Some people believe that things can be bought more cheaply by mail. Another good thing about buying by mail is that it is easier and more enjoyable to sit at home and work through a catalogue than to shop around the stores. With a catalogue trom a large company, you have your own shop window for almost everything you want to buy.
    Buying from a catalogue is so easy.  It saves the shopper time and trouble.  Sometimes, it saves the shopper money, too. But people often buy more than they can really afford(付得起) or need, because many things look so good to them. They can probably pay a certain part of the full price—a down payment. Then they pay a certain amount of money every month until the goods is paid for in full. But by then they often find what they have bought are of no use at all.
Why do people buy things without seeing them in person?
选项 A、To enjoy themselves.
B、To save money and trouble.
C、To get more than they need.
答案B
解析 分析推理题。短文第一段首先指出了人们邮购商品的事实，接着在第三句直接提出了与本题题目相同的问题：人们为什么要邮购。然后，该段第四句说明了第一个原因：Some people thinks...more cheaply by mail(一些人认为通过邮购可以买到更便宜的东西)，它对应于[B]项中的save money；而第五、六句说明的则是另一个原因，综合起来就是[B]项中(save) trouble(减少麻烦)的意思。而且，第二段第二、三句也再次重复了这一意思，故本题答案就是综合了这两个方面的[B]项。
