Topic：Addiction Structure：spend，pay，get bankrupt，get sent to prison，be addicted to
[1] The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs，but in modern-day society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions．Some people are compulsive （難以自制的） shoppers．Others find it impossible to pull themselves away from their work．Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games．
[2] Over the years，shopping has become a very common activity．Many people enjoy going to stores more and more every day，but it's more than a common hobby for some of them．They have turned into shopaholics．They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it． They are hooked on shopping and usually buy things that they don't need． Even though they don't have enough money，they buy everything they want．
[3] The question is，why do they have this addiction？There isn't a specific answer．Some people go shopping when they are sad，worried，upset or lonely and they want to feel better．They use this activity as a way to forget their problems．Shopaholics say that they feel more important and better after they buy something．They also tend to have this addiction when they feel guilty．
[4] Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction，but it can_________．Some of them can be psychological．If this is the case，people addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit．However，the process，like for most addictions，is long，and they suffer a lot．It can also cause financial problems．They just think about satisfying their feelings，so they spend money they don't have．They get deep in debt，and they can even go bankrupt and get sent to prison．

Know who your friends are．（3）This means people can search to see if you're online and add you as a friend．It's important to remember that sharing your location with people you've never met in real life is risky，so you should carefully manage friend requests and share your location only with people you know and trust．

2．Walk Out of the Comfort Zone and Try New Things For most high school students，free periods （課、節(jié)） are useless.From what I have seen，few do homework. （1）
.This makes it impossible for those who actually want to do work to complete any.As a senior next year，I think extra periods should be used to take optional subjects.
（2）.Now is the time for us students to choose a suitable one.We will experiment in different fields of study.We will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject if we don't try it.
In my 8th grade，I was told that I had to take an art class as a graduation requirement；so in the 9th grade I took Studio and Art.One of the projects was to build a clay pot，but I built mine incorrectly，so it broke in the kiln （窯）. （3）.Now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist.However，the class was one of my favorites that year.I was able to try new activities and test my ability.
（4）!College is when we should focus on a specific major，but high school is when we have to figure it out.
Half of all college students change their major at some point.By doing that hundreds of dollars are wasted on classes that they would have never needed to take.So use our extra periods to find out what we want to do in college. （5）.
A.Our school offers many classes
B.We should find out what we are good at
C.I've avoided anything related to art since then
D.Instead，many are on their phones and talking
E.I found out that I have no artistic ability at all
F.Walk out of our comfort zone and try new things
G.The classes we choose can influence us in the future發(fā)布：2025/1/1 18:0:1組卷：7引用：5難度：0.5 -
