四、新素材 如何避免过度消费 (2025·南京玄武外国语、科利华中学期末)阅读理解(15分)
你平时能够合理地使用你的零花钱吗?如果不能,那就试着改变一下吧!
It all started with a promise(承诺) not to overspend(超支), and for the first couple of days, I managed to keep it. The good times, however, didn't last. On the fourth day, I pulled out my credit card and did exactly what I'd promised not to do. I felt ashamed(惭愧的) and promised myself I would never do it again.
But then... oops! I did it again!
Does this sound familiar? If you are too young to spend freely, think about your favourite snack. We often know what we should do, but why do we keep doing the opposite(相反)?
Many people turn to financial experts(专家) for advice. They are told to stay off social media and avoid friends who overspend so as to control the stimulus(刺激因素). Then, the experts suggest controlling your response: Cut up your credit cards. Make spending painful.
Such advice works until it doesn't any more. Let's face it: You can't avoid every ad pushing you to buy something.
Here's a secret that has helped me break my terrible spending cycle. Between the stimulus and our response to it, there's a space. In that space is our power to choose.
Most of us aren't aware(意识到) of this space. We see a social media post about a book with a link to the shopping website. One quick click, and the book is on its way. That's how I ended up with unread books all over my office. Now I follow the "72 - hour rule". When I see an interesting book, I put it on a list. If I still want it 72 hours later, I will go ahead and buy it.
By creating this little "spending space", I give myself the chance to change my response. How you create space is up to you, but once you get good at it, you can fix your spending(or eating) habits.
