    阅读下面一篇短文，根据所读内容在文后表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意：每一个空只填一个单词。

    　　People can be addicted to(沉溺于)different things, e．g．alcohol, drug, certain food, or even television．People who have such an addiction are compulsive(强迫的)：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 impossible to explain reasonably．For compulsive spenders who buy on credit(以赊欠方式)，are even more exciting than money．In other words, compulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can do anything．Their pleasure in spending large amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy．

    　　There is even a special psychology(心理学)of bargain bunting．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(预算)，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：good reason for 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．

    　　A 16-year-old Beijing boy, named Bart Simon online, dislikes QQ uses．“I used to chat on QQ, but I found that most people were talking about foolish things,” he said．Now he chats online in English, using MSN．“I only chat online because I've got friends in Japan, the US and Singapore,” he said．“I want to learn more about foreign cultures．” But he spends little time chatting on QQ as he sees it as a waste of time and money．
