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.
From the passage we may safely conclude that compulsive spenders or compulsive bargain hunters______.
选项 A、are really unreasonable
B、need special treatment
C、are really beyond remedy
D、can never get any help to solve their problems with money
答案B
解析 根据最后一段“Psychologists often use a method called‘behavior therapy’…help people who feel that they have problems with money．”可推知，心理学家经常用“行为疗法”来帮助有金钱困扰的人，而购物狂和购买便宜货上瘾的人正是需要接受治疗的这一类人。故选B。
