Shopping used to be my favourite activity. It started when I was a teenager and I
worked in a clothes shop. At that time I had a staff discount in the shop and I used to spend all
my wages buying clothes. When I got a job in an office I carried on spending all my spare
money buying clothes even after I had got married, bought a house and had children!
I used to go shopping every weekend and I probably spent about £500 a month buying
clothes. It wasn’t something I only did when I wasn’t very happy, I always went shopping
however I felt. Sometimes I’d look for ages to find what I wanted. Other times, I’d just buy the
first thing I saw. Most of the things I didn’t need. One day I bought three pairs of boots, even
though I already had another ten pairs at home. I never even took the most expensive pair out
of the box!
I realised I had a problem when one day my five-year-old daughter looked into my
wardrobe and asked me why I had so many handbags. I counted them. I had seventy-five
handbags and they must have cost me thousands of pounds. I couldn’t believe what I’d done!
First of all, I threw away my credit card. Then I gave away all the clothes that I’d never worn.
After that I made arrangements every Saturday to visit friends or go on a day trip, so I
wouldn’t be able to go shopping. Now I’m happy because I’m not a shopaholic any more.
Question 21. The word a shopaholic in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _____ .
A. a compulsive shopper B. a shopper window
C. a shop assistant D. an online shopper

C. she continued spending unwisely D. she became depressed about her spending
Question 23. The writer felt shocked when she knew she had _______ .
A. 13 boots B. 75 handbags C. 3 boots D. 10 handbags
Question 24.What is the writer’s main aim in writing the text?
A. to advise people how to shop sensibly. B. to talk about her expensive way of living.
C. to talk about different fashions. D. to describe her addiction to shopping.

Shopping used to be my favourite activity. It started when I was a teenager and I
worked in a clothes shop. At that time I had a staff discount in the shop and I used to spend all
my wages buying clothes. When I got a job in an office I carried on spending all my spare
money buying clothes – even after I had got married, bought a house and had children!
I used to go shopping every weekend and I probably spent about £500 a month buying
clothes. It wasn’t something I only did when I wasn’t very happy, I always went shopping
however I felt. Sometimes I’d look for ages to find what I wanted. Other times, I’d just buy the
first thing I saw. Most of the things I didn’t need. One day I bought three pairs of boots, even
though I already had another ten pairs at home. I never even took the most expensive pair out of the box!
I realised I had a problem when one day my five-year-old daughter looked into my
wardrobe and asked me why I had so many handbags. I counted them. I had seventy-five
handbags and they must have cost me thousands of pounds. I couldn’t believe what I’d done!
First of all, I threw away my credit card. Then I gave away all the clothes that I’d never worn.
After that I made arrangements every Saturday to visit friends or go on a day trip, so I
wouldn’t be able to go shopping. Now I’m happy because I’m not a shopaholic any more.
Question 21. The word “a shopaholic” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _____ . A. a compulsive shopper B. a shopper window C. a shop assistant D. an online shopper
Question 22. After the writer had got married, ________ .
A. she tried to stop spending so much

Question 24.What is the writer’s main aim in writing the text?
A. to advise people how to shop sensibly.
B. to talk about her expensive way of living.
C. to talk about different fashions.
D. to describe her addiction to shopping.
