Read the following passage and choose the best choice for each question.
Money and the economy may cause stress because we have to devote a lot of brain power to making financial decisions, whether it's thinking about paying the mortgage, buying groceries, or saving money. These financial decisions, big or small, require willpower.
Willpower is like a muscle that can become tired and lose strength when overused. Research indicates that people whose willpower is run down are more likely to spend an increased amount of money and purchase additional items than those who haven't recently exerted their willpower.
People who are constantly faced with tough financial decisions, such as those who are less financially stable, more quickly deplete their willpower. One study suggests that shoppers with less money often use more willpower than richer shoppers because they face more frequent and difficult spending decisions. The result is that they are less likely to resist the temptation of buying things they can't afford.

题目解答
答案
根据图片中的文章内容，我们可以进行如下推理来解答这道题：
- 定位关键信息：题目问的是“在什么方面意志力（willpower）类似于肌肉（muscle）？”我们需要在文章中找到将两者进行比较的句子。
- 分析原文：文章第二段的第一句话明确指出：“Willpower is like a muscle that can become tired and lose strength when overused.”（意志力就像一块肌肉，过度使用后会变得疲劳并失去力量。）
- 对比选项：
- A选项：Willpower can be stretched or extended.（意志力可以被拉伸或扩展。）原文并没有提到“拉伸”这一概念。
- B选项：The more you use your willpower, the better it can perform.（你使用意志力越多，它表现越好。）这与原文“过度使用会疲劳”的意思相反。
- C选项：Willpower can be exhausted after being used too much.（意志力在过度使用后会被耗尽。）这与原文中“become tired and lose strength when overused”（过度使用时变得疲劳并失去力量）的意思完全一致，“exhausted”对应“tired/lose strength”，“used too much”对应“overused”。
- D选项：The stronger you are, the more willpower you can have.（你越强，你拥有的意志力就越多。）原文没有提到身体强壮程度与意志力的关系。
综上所述，选项C准确地表达了原文中意志力像肌肉一样，过度使用后会被耗尽的相似之处。
因此，正确答案是 C。
