     Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice ,we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world,in rich and poor
countries, choice is a luxury , something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think
th ey are exercising their right to make choices , the whole  system  is merely an illusion , a false idea
created by companies and advertisers hoping to sell their products.
     The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people's lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot
is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness
in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just  buying  an  unsuitable  item
(商品) that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought
in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or
trusted into the hands of the professionals ,lifestyle instructors , or advisors.
      It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of
products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products
also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers , which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing:  no choice, no anxiety.

2. Why do more choices of goods give rise to anxiety?     
A. Professionals find it hard to decide on a suitable product.
B. People are likely to find themselves overcome by business persuasion.
C. Shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items.
D. Companies and advertisers are often misleading about the range of choice.
3. By using computers as an example, the author wants to prove that___________.  
A. advanced products meet the needs of people
B. products of the latest design flood the market
C. competitions are fierce in high-tech industry
D. everyday goods need to be replaced often
