When shopping gets too expensive

Shopping is one of the most popular spare time ________________ (ACTIVE) . Magazines
are full of
pictures of celebrities ______________ (LEAVE) exclusive boutiques, with armfuls of bags
bearing
distinctive designer logos. Millions of us head off at the weekend to shopping malls
near city centres. For the _______________ (MAJOR) of shoppers , the biggest
problems are finding
somewhere to park or getting information from _________________ (HELP) shop
assistants.

But for some, the love of shopping can lead to more serious problems . An estimated one in
every five people is ______________ (ABLE) to keep their spending habits under control.
Teenagers are twice as likely as adults to become compulsive shoppers .

Experts who specialize in peoples’ shopping habits view it as an _________________

(ADDICT) .
However, they point out two important differences between shopaholism and other types
of addictive ______________ (BEHAVE) . Firstly, it is not taken ________________
(SERIOUS) by
society, even though it can happen to anyone from any social background. Increasing
numbers of men are seen going on uncontrollable shopping sprees, although, when asked,
they refer to themselves as “collectors” rather than shopaholics. The second is that, unlike
drugs, alcohol or gambling, shopping is socially _____________ (ACCEPT) and therefore
easily available. We are
constantly bombarded with advertisements _______________ (PERSUADE) us to buy items
we
really don’t need.

Doctors in the United States have prescribed anti-depressants to shopaholics who cannot
stop themselves spending, despite already having enormous debts. In the UK
_________________ (MEDICINE) experts prefer to send such people to places where
they are taught money
_________________ (MANAGE).

However, there is one glimmer of light on the horizon: doctors believe that while Internet
shopping is on the rise, it won’t make the problem worse. Shopping addicts need the buzz of
the shopping centre to satisfy their wishes. That may explain why we never see pictures of
celebrities logging onto Amazon or eBay.
