解析
本题主要考查对词汇的理解和在具体语境中的运用能力。解题时需要根据句子的逻辑关系、上下文语义以及固定搭配来选择合适的单词。
- 根据“whether they should spend the money that they have earned or save that money for the future”可知，人们面临着是花钱还是存钱的选择，处于一种“两难”的境地，所以应填“dilemma”。
- 结合语境，对于这个问题没有“明确的”答案，因为不同人有不同看法，“explicit”有“明确的”意思，符合题意。
- “different people have different...on life”表达不同的人对生活有不同的“视角”，“perspectives”表示“视角、观点”，故填此词。
- 由“while”可知前后形成对比，前面说有些人花光钱，这里说其他人“保持”对钱的控制，“retain”有“保持、保留”的意思，所以填“retain”。
- “if they like a(n)...car, mobile phone, or laptop”表示如果他们喜欢“某一特定的”汽车、手机或笔记本电脑，“particular”意为“特定的、特别的”，符合语境。
- “satisfy their growing material...”表示满足他们日益增长的物质“欲望”，“appetites”有“欲望”的意思，因此填“appetites”。
- “saving helps people...their personal finances”，存钱有助于人们“管理”个人财务，“manage”是“管理”的意思，所以填“manage”。
- “saving helps an individual better plan for future...needs”，存钱能帮助个人更好地为未来的“紧急”需求做计划，“urgent”表示“紧急的”，故填“urgent”。
- “individuals who can...their spending save money successfully”，能“调节”支出的人能成功存钱，“regulate”有“调节、控制”的意思，所以填“regulate”。
- “they delay their purchasing decision and are not easily...by commercial ads”，他们不轻易被商业广告“操纵”，“manipulated”是“manipulate（操纵）”的过去分词形式，符合被动语态的语境，所以填“manipulated”。
