2．解析：A正确
这篇文章主要说的是什么？

3．解析：B正确
文章最后一段说了心理学家对有购物癖的人和有买便宜货嗜好的人的治疗方法，这是可以直接判断出来的。A项不对，因为他们的行为的确不可理喻，但是不能说他们人本身不可理喻，理解是有偏差的。（重庆MBA）
参考译文：
人们会对不同的东西上瘾——例如酒精，药物，某些食物，甚至是电视。一些人强迫性地拥有某种癖好：他们有强烈的心理需要感觉他们必须得到满足。据心理学家所说，许多人有购物癖。他们觉得自己必须花钱。这种冲动，和大部分欲望一样，无法给予合理解释。对于使用信用卡消费有购物癖的人的人来说，赊账比现金更有刺激感。换句话说，有购物癖的人感觉使用信用卡可以做任何事。他们花大笔钱所带来的愉悦感实际上比他们买到东西带来的快乐要大的多。
买便宜货甚至也有一种特殊心理。当然为了省钱，大多数人都会买便宜的东西，低价产品和有折扣的产品。到处寻找便宜货的人却经常买他们不需要的东西，只是因为它们价格便宜。他们试图相信这是在缩减自己的预算，但是他们在玩一场刺激游戏。当他们买的东西比别人买的便宜时，他们就感觉自己是赢家。大多数人，专家表示，行为有两个解释：一个是为做的事找到的好理由，和真正的理由。
不仅是科学家，当然了商家们也了解这种消费习惯的心理。店铺、公司和广告商利用心理提高自己的业务额。他们在广告和销售手段当中考虑到人们对爱、力量或是影响力、基本价值观、信仰和观念等等的需求。
心理学家经常使用一种称为“行为疗法”的方法来帮助人们解决自身的个性问题。同样地，他们可以帮助人们知道他们在金钱方面有问题。

2014.5.27英语习题
阅读理解：
Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turned around and ,sure enough, someone was looking right at you!
Parapsychologists(灵学家)say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a “sixth sense”really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist(心理学家)at the University of Kentucky, performed two experiments.（重庆MBA）
In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later, when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.
For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind a two way mirror in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they weren’t. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren’t .Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were started at than if they had just guessed.
Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they’re being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”
