    Part of the reason so many people spend too much, or fail to【C2】______to self-imposed budgets, is because spending money has become a(n) 【C3】______in our increasingly cashless society. Credit cards provide immediate satisfaction, but no immediate【C4】______. So many researches suggest taking【C5】______dollars from your wallet is more【C6】______, and leads you to spend less.
    Following a budget feels too much【C7】______dieting. And we often fail at both【C8】______the same reasons: too much focus on the【C9】______, not enough attention to fun.【C10】______it’s not surprising when people end up spending more or【C11】______more calories.

【C4】
选项 A、importance
B、differences
C、consequences
D、significance
答案C
解析 考查名词辨析。importance“重要性”；difference“区别”；consequence“结果”；significance“意义”。空格前的but no表明此空所缺的词与satisfaction形成对比，结合前面说到的cashless society可推断信用卡带来了及时的满足感。但开支超出预算这种“后果”不易被马上意识到，故选C。
