Over the years, shopping has become a very common activity. Many people enjoy going to malls or stores more and more every day, but it is 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 like shopping very much and usually buy things that they don't need. Even though they don't have enough money, they buy everything they want. Some people go shopping when they are sad, worried 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. Sometimes husbands might buy very expensive presents for their families to try to make up for their lack of love for them. We usually think women enjoy shopping more than men, but according to some studies, that's not true. Men really like shopping because they feel they have power and control. They get whatever they want. Also, men usually buy big items while women spend their money on clothes, cosmetics, decorations for their houses, or things for family. What does the word "shopaholics" in the first paragraph probably mean? A. A person who usually buys a lot of things he doesn't need.B. A person who doesn't have enough money but likes buying things.C. A person who enjoys going to malls or stores every day.
