Suppose you want to bring home a new cat and are looking for a way to really make it feel at home. Actually, all you need to do is buy some nice cat furniture and have it in place by the time you bring it into your home.
The first thing that you should prepare is a cat house. Two to three feet off the ground is the best height. If you don’t have enough room for a cat house, a cat bed is also a nice choice.
Once you have a nice spot where your cat can go to feel safe, then it’s time to get cat furniture that offers your pet a nice place to play. One nice choice is cat trees. Scratching posts (猫抓板) are another great idea if you are short on space, but still want to give your cat a nice place where it can claw (抓) at instead of your own furniture.
If you’re looking for a great way to shop for cat furniture, simply turn on your computer and do some online shopping. In no time will you be able to browse (浏览) all the offerings from many online stores. What’s great is that you can easily compare products and their prices, so you can get what you want at the best possible price. And, probably the nicest thing about online shopping is that your purchases may be shipped right to you, so you don’t have to waste time making a trip to the store.
So, if you have brought a new cat into your home, make sure that home is an inviting one by buying some new cat furniture. Without it, your cat might feel lost and unsafe, which you definitely do not want to happen.
63. What should you do first before you bring a cat home?

Compulsive（强迫的）shoppers may have a new psychological excuse to blame for their wild shopping. Psychologists at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand are studying the “shop-till-you-drop” habit as a behavioral disorder similar to compulsive eating. Compulsive shoppers frequently buy more than they can afford or more than they need, and it causes them distress (苦恼).
“It becomes a problem when you are out of control,” psychology lecturer Neville Blampied said. “When you are feeling bad and blue, what do you do? Some people eat chocolate cake and ice cream. Some people take the credit card and go out to the shop.” Bank managers understand the problem because they have to deal with people who have to be persuaded to stop using their cards drawing money.
Compulsive shopping was first discovered in 1915, although it was then known as monomania. Few studies have been done on the problem.
An advertisement in a Christchurch paper, calling for people to take part in an experimental treatment program designed by Mr. Wilson, attracted 10 replies. But the problem, said Mr. Wilson, is “clearly not rare”. He thinks that compulsive shopping should be treated with drugs. “As psychologists we are interested in non-drug treatments for behavioral difficulties,” Mr. Wilson said.
Compulsive eaters or shoppers get a kick from their habit. “Both activities provide an immediate kind of kick and you feel a bit better,” he said. “You have long-term problems, but human beings are extremely good at not seeing long-term problems and are very sensitive to short-term benefits,” he said.
The aim of the treatment was to help people find better ways of managing their emotions. The program, consisting of 10 one-hour weekly lessons and two follow-up treatments, is loosely based on teaching stress management. “You often have to start to get people to correctly recognize their emotions. Not being able to know what you
really feel weakens your ability to solve the problems connected with what’s making you feel that way,” Mr. Wilson said.
67. What is this article mostly about?
A. Signs of compulsive shopping.
B. Studies of compulsive shopping.
C. comparison of compulsive shopping and compulsive eating.
D. An experimental treatment program designed by Mr. Wilson.
68. The underlined word“it”in th e first paragraph most probably refers to ______.
A. compulsive eating
B. a new psychological excuse
C. the study done by Blampied
D. the behavior of wild shopping
69. Which of the following is considered important in treating compulsive shoppers?
A. Teaching them to manage their money better.
B. Teaching them to understand their emotions.
C. Persuading them not to draw money from the bank.
D. Treating them with right drugs.
70. When the writer says that compulsive shoppers get a kick from their habit, he means that they ______.
A. feel distressed after their wild shopping
B. feel better after treatment from psychologists
C. are better able to deal with stress problems
D. have a feeling of excitement after shopping
第二节：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Every boy and every girl expects their parents to give them pocket money. Why do their parents just give them a certain amount? 71
The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. 72 Some children get weekly pocket money. Others get monthly pocket money.
First of all, children are expected to make a choice between spending and saving. Then parents should make the children understand what is expected to pay for with the money. At first, some young children may spend all of the money soon after they receive it. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until it is the right time. 73
In order to encourage their children to do some housework, some parents give pocket money if the children help around the home. Some experts think it not wise to pay the children for doing that. 74
Pocket money can give children a chance to experience three things they can do with the money. They can spend it by giving it to a good excuse. They can spend it by buying things they want. 75 Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice（牺牲）. Saving can also open the door to future saving and investing （投资）for children.
A. They can save it for future use.
B. Timing is another consideration（考虑）.
C. As helping at home is a normal part of family life.
D. Some children are not good at managing the pocket money.
E. Learning how to get money is important for children.
F. One purpose（目的）is to let kids learn how to manage their own money.
G. By doing so, these children will learn that spending must be done with a budget（预算).
