Question

【題目】The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs. 【1】 Some people are compulsive (難以自制的) shoppers. Others find it impossible to pull themselves away from their work. Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games.

【2】 Many people enjoy going to markets or stores more and more every day, but it’s more than a common hobby for some of them. They have turned into shopaholics.

Even though they don’t have enough money, they buy everything they want.

The question is why they have this addiction. There isn’t a specific answer. Some people go shopping when they are sad, worried, upset or lonely. 【3】 Shopaholics say that they feel more important and better after they buy something. They also tend to have this addiction when they feel guilty.
