21、Are you a compulsive (强迫性的) spender, or do you hold on to your money as long as possible? Are you a bargain hunter? Would you rather use charge accounts than pay cash? Your answers to these questions will reflect your personality. According to psychologists, our individual money habits not only show our beliefs and values, but can also stem from past problems.
Experts in psychology believe that for many people, money is an important symbol of strength and influence. Husbands who complain about their wives’ spending habits may be afraid that they are losing power in their marriage. Wives, on the other hand, may waste huge amounts of money because they are angry at their husbands. In addition, many people consider money a symbol of love. They spend it on their family and friends to express love, or they buy themselves expensive presents because they need love.
People can be addicted to different things — for example, alcohol, drugs, certain foods, or even television. They are compulsive in their addictions, i.e. they must satisfy these needs to feel comfortable. In the same way, according to psychologists, compulsive spenders must spend money. For people who buy on credit, furthermore, charge accounts are even more exciting than money: in other words, they feel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasures in spending enormous amounts are actually greater than those 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, etc. 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: they give them “assignments”. If a person buys something in every store that he enters, for instance, a therapist might teach him self-discipline in this way: on the first day of his therapy, he must go into a store, stay five minutes, and then leave. On the second day, he should stay for ten minutes and try something on. On the third day, he stays for fifteen minutes, asks the salesclerk a question, but does not buy anything. Soon he will learn that nothing bad will happen to him if he doesn’t buy anything, and he can solve the problem of his compulsive buying.

25、The first time I ordered takeout in New York, two things surprised me: the last speed with which the food _________ and the fact that, after I’d paid for it, the man from the Chinese restaurant and I stood on either side of the threshold(门槛) _________ each other, though only one of us understood_________. After a minute of this, I closed the door. An American friend sat on the sofa, open-mouthed “Wait—did you just close the door?”
In London, you don’t tip for _________. A man on a motorbike arrives and hands over an oil-soaked bag, or a box. You give him the _________ amount of money it costs or wait and look at your shoes while he _________ change. Then you close the door.

What they never, ever do,____________ is tell me to have a nice day. “Have a good one”—said slowly with a slightly sad air, as if avoiding the far greater ____________ of an evil “one”—is the most you tend to hear.
But I’m not going to complain about Britain’s ____________ of a service culture. I don’t think any nation should ____________ service to the status of culture.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Feeding the Hungry
Last Sunday I visited the Emergency Food Shelf in the city of Burlington, where volunteers help to provide daily meals for those who have difficulty purchasing enough food to avoid hunger.
60 or so men and women were gathering outside of the building. Inside, volunteer students from the University of Vermont (UVM) were working busily to bake chicken. re-heat donated pizza, chop vegetables, make peanut butter and sandwiches and put bananas and beverages (饮料) within easy reach of anyone who came through the door.
Six nights a week, the Salvation Army makes dinner for the hungry. But on Sunday, the Army's day of rest, the UVM kids take over and make sure that anyone who's hungry gets fed.
"This year the program is headed by a tall, blonde chemistry major. At age 22, senior Carly Hodgins has been a part of this group for four years and is a masterful organizer.
"Time to open up!" Carly yelled.
The door swung open. Men and women who had been waiting outside silently flowed into the building. Ten steps inside the door each man or woman picked up a waiting plate and the students started piling it with food. Every person got a portion (一份) of meat, vegetables, salad, potatoes, and pizza.
Carly stood at the end of the food line offering a beverage. "Apple juice?" she asked, looking straight into the eyes of each diner. "Orange juice?" Her smile was a flash of sunshine.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
What impressed me most was the volunteer's enthusiasm for their work.
