3 . Shopping therapy （疗 法）is the practice of using the shopping experience to help overcome depression or other emotional problems.     1     Actually, it really works.

    2     One of the most obvious things is the enjoyment people get from the items they buy. When people shop, they often buy things they really care about on some level. For example, when people come home with a new shirt or a new computer, they assume that the item is going to improve their lives in some way. This can help reduce many feelings of unhappiness.

    3     Some experts think humans are linked with the need to constantly achieve and fight for improvement. People make a decision to buy something, and then actually follow through this plan. This is one way people can take action to directly change their own lives for the better.

People who don't actually have any money to buy things still benefit from shopping therapy. For them, simply browsing （浏览）can be a nice experience. That's because it helps them form future shopping plans.     4    

The simple act of leaving home and spending time around other humans is another possible reason for the effectiveness of shopping therapy.     5     Many people even use shopping as a specific social activity by bringing friends along with them and turning the process into a pleasant one.

A．So why not shop until you start feeling better?

B．So how do people benefit from shopping therapy?

C．These plans offer great expectation and hope in their life.

D．Many people shop for this reason without even realizing it.

E．People can have the feeling of achievement after shopping.

F．Many people have gone into debt due to shopping addiction.

G．There is sometimes a sense of community in the shopping experience.

4 . Shorts may feel nice and casual on your legs on a warm summer’s day, but they’re not so gentle on your wallet.     1     Usually the fact that one obviously uses less cloth than the other makes it hard to be accepted So what gives?

It turns out clothing sellers aren’t trying to cheat you by charging you too much money. They’re just pricing shorts according to what it costs to produce them.    2     Extra material does go into a full pair of pants but not as much as you may think. As experts explain, shorts that don’t fall past your knees may contain just a fifth less cloth than ankle-length trousers.    3    

Those same details that end up accounting for most of the material—pockets, belt loops, waist bands—also require the most human labor to make.    4     The physical cotton in blue jeans accounts for just a small part of its price Jag. Most of that money goes to pay the people stitching (缝合) it together, and they put in roughly the same amount of time whether they’re working on a pair of pants or some shorts.

    5     For another example, short-sleeved shirts cost roughly the same as long-sleeved shirts. There are also numerous invisible factors that make some shorts more expensive than nearly identical pairs, like where they were made9marketing costs, and the brand on the label. If you don’t want to spend $40 on something that covers just a small piece of leg, stay at home with your wallet!

A．More or less, shorts almost cost what pants do.

B．This is where the true cost of a garment is determined.

C．This price trend becomes popular across the fashion field.

D．This is because most of the cloth is sewn into the top half.

E．In general, a pair of shorts isn’t any cheaper than a pair of pants.

F．To tell you the truth, it is a real bargain to pay for a pair of shorts.

G．Customers are willing to purchase a pair of shorts if it is at a reasonable price.
