　　The idea of conspicuous consumption implies some amount of showing off. You buy stuff to demonstrate, in conspicuous fashion, just how well you are doing. But a set of new studies show that buying high-status goods isn’t only about showing off. You might also be willing to purchase expensive goods for entirely internal reasons-specifically, to help repair harmed self-worth.“Individuals conspicuously consume to signal their wealth. ” That’s the opening line in a paper published in Journal of Experimental Social Psychological written by Niro Sivanathan, an assistant professor at the London Business School, and Nathan C. Pettit, of Cornell University. But that’s just too simple and too straightforward an explanation for why people buy luxury, or “high-status” goods.For one thing, Sivanathan and Pettit hoped to explain why it is that poor people tend to spend a much larger amount of their income on status purchases compared to those who are well off. Through a series of studies, the psychological pain, in other words, to make you feel better when you’re feeling depressed.“The economical explanation-that people purchase conspicuous goods because they want to signal positive things about themselves to others—felt incomplete,” says Sivanathan. We wanted to study what causes people to act out their urge to purchase conspicuous goods, and more importantly what causes that urge in the first place. Our research shows that part of what is behind these consumption decisions is the desire to change the way they feel about themselves.1. The underlined word “conspicuous” (Para. 1) means ______.A. noticeable B. wealthy C. attractiveD. impressive

　　The poverty line is the lowest income that people need for an acceptable standard of living. People with income below the poverty line are considered poor. Economists study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem.About ten percent of the people in the United States are below the poverty line, However, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of living. Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs.For one thing, more than half of the people in the United States are not qualified to work. Over 40 percent of the poor people are children. By law, children less than 16 years old cannot work in many industries. And a large number of poor people are old. Many companies do not hire people over 65 years old.Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons: they are sick, they have family problems, or they do not believe that they can find a job. Other poor adults look for a job but cannot find one. Many poor adults never went to high school. Therefore, when they look for jobs, they have few skills that they can offer.At the present time, the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways.First, if the national economy grows, companies hire more workers. Some of the poor may find a job, and they will no longer be below the poverty line.Second, if the government spends money on social programs, education and training for the poor people, the poor will have the skill to offer. Then it is more likely that they can find jobs.Finally, if the government distributes society's income differently, it will raise some poor people above the poverty line. The government collects taxes from the non-poor and gives money to the poor. These payments to the poor are called welfare.Some economists are looking for better solutions to the poverty problem. However, at the present time, many people still depend on welfare to live a poor life.
