If an economist was asked which one of the three groups borrows most—people with 1 incomes, stable incomes, or declining incomes—he would 2 answer: those with declining incomes. Actually, in the years 1947-1950, the answer was: people with rising incomes. People with declining incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This 3 us that traditional assumptions about earning and spending are not always 4 . Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect prices to go up, they will 5 to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they will postpone 6 . But research surveys have shown that this is not always true. The expectations of price increases may not stimulate buying. One typical 7 was expressed by the wife of a mechanic in an interview at a time of rising prices, "In a few months," she said, "we’ll have to pay 8 for meat and milk; we’ll have less to spend on other things. " Her family had been planning to buy a new ear but they postponed this purchase. Furthermore, the rise in prices that has already taken place may be resented and buyer’s resistance may be evoked. This is shown by the following typical 9 : "I just don’t pay these prices; they are too high. " The condition most beneficial to spending appears to be price stability. If prices have been stable and people consider that they are 10 , they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that the common business policy of maintaining stable prices is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology. A. attitude F. hasten K. luckily B. shows G. rising L. probably C. comment H. reasonable M. buying D. reliable I. different N. controls E. beauty J. more O. energy
