One day,a friend told me about his problem. He has been spending more time 41 lately — he goes to the mall every weekend,and once or twice in the week as well. The shop windows are really 42 for him and it's true that he 43 a few things when he is there. Besides,he can51 44 shopping during sales. His wife tells him they don't need all those things,  45 he thinks they are so cheap and good ... Now my friend's wife has decided to get his credit card cancelled. Life is getting for him!

    This sounds like a(n) 47 of compulsive(强迫性的) shopping,and hundreds,maybe thousands of people have the same 48. 1’m afraid there's no easy 49 ,although there are a number of methods we can suggest.

     One thing you could do is to try making a 50   before you go out. You won' t buy so many things if you think first about what you really 51 .

    Another good  52 would be to check your budget. How much can you 53 to spend? If you can't control your 54 ,don't take your credit card with you!For example,take £50 and say: UI can buy what I want,as long as it doesn’ t cost more

than £50.? 55,you can do this 56 once a week,or once a month!

     57,if you still can't control things,maybe you should just 58 going to the shops. There's a lot more to life than just shopping. Try not to spend your family's moirey,59 , spend time with them. Be sociable!60 a hobby,such as cycling or swimming,or going out with your friends. But let someone else dq the shopping.

         Everybody gets angry,but out-of-control anger isnt good for you or those around you. So here are five simple strategies to help you learn how to manage your anger:

         • Relax. Breathe deeply,from your stomach. 36 Repeat it to yourself and visualize a relaxing time and experience.

         • Change the way you think. When youre angry,your thinking can get exaggerated(夸大的). 37 For instance, instead of telling yourself, “Oh,it's terrible! Everything's ruined,”tell yourself, “It's understandable that I'm upset about it,but it's not the end of the world."

         • 38 Statements like “This never works." or

“You’ re always forgetting things." will make you feel your anger is justified and theres no way to solve the problem. They might upset people who might be willing to work with you on a solution.

         • Have a better communication. Angry people tend to jump to conclusions. If you are in a heated discussion,slow down. 39 And take your time before answering. Instead of saying the first thing that comes into your head,think carefully about what you want to say.

         • Use humor. Psychologists say that highly angry people tend to think ^things ought to go my way!” “Silly humor” can help you get a more balanced perspective. So,when you feel that anger coming the next time,picture yourself as a king or queen,walking around,admired by everybody,and getting your own way in every situation. The more detail you can get into your imaginary scenes,the more likely it is to put a smile on your face. 40

   A. Be carefUl with words like “never” or “always”.

   B. Listen carefully to what the other person is saying.

   C. Try replacing these thoughts with more reasonable ones.

   D. Avoid using these strategies when you’ re in a tense situation.

   E. Then slowly repeat a calm word or phrase such as “take it easy”.

   F. Try changing the topics so your talks wont turn into arguments.

   G. That will help you realize that the things youre angry about are really not very important.
