READING

9. Read the following text. Then, answer the questions

Addicted to the Mall

What do you do for recreation? Do you swim, dance, play cards, garden, or read? Many people
today prefer to spend their free time shopping. These people are called recreational shoppers.
Recreational shoppers do not always buy something. They really enjoy the shopping experience.

Of course, many people like going to indoor malls. However, for recreational shoppers, the mall is
more than stores. For them, the mall represents happiness and fulfillment. For these people, a visit
to the mall is an adventure. In fact, for many recreational shoppers the art of looking for and buying
something is more fun than owning it.

Recently, a group of psychologists studied recreational shopping. First, they used tests to identify
recreational shoppers. Then they compared recreational shoppers with ordinary shoppers. The
psychologists discovered that the two groups were different. Recreational shoppers were usually
younger, less self-confident, and more often female. In addition, they were more interested in
material things and had less self-control.

The recreational shoppers also went shopping when they felt worried, angry, or depressed.
Ordinary shoppers didn't. Most of the recreational shoppers said buying something helped them
feel better-it made them happv. Their negative feelings went away. Many recreational shoppers
also did something unusual while they were shopping. They pretended that they were different
people with different lives.

Of course, shopping is an important part of our contemporary consumer society. We spend a lot of
time in malls. In a recent study, people spent most of their time at home, at work, and in school.
Shopping malls ranked fourth. However, in the future, will we think of recreational shopping as an
addiction like smoking or drinking?
