问题     You have probably seen ads(广告) in newspapers or on television for mail-order companies. Perhaps a catalog ue(商品目录) has been sent to you. Why do people buy things they have not seen in person? Some people believe that things can be bought more cheaply by mail. Another good thing about buying by mail is that it is easier and more enjoyable to sit at home and work through a catalogue than to shop around the stores. With a catalogue trom a large company, you have your own shop window for almost everything you want to buy.
    Buying from a catalogue is so easy.  It saves the shopper time and trouble.  Sometimes, it saves the shopper money, too. But people often buy more than they can really afford(付得起) or need, because many things look so good to them. They can probably pay a certain part of the full price—a down payment. Then they pay a certain amount of money every month until the goods is paid for in full. But by then they often find what they have bought are of no use at all.
What is the problem with mail-order?

选项 A、People have to work through a catalogue.
B、People may buy more than they are able to pay for.
C、People have to pay every month.

答案B

解析 细节题。短文第二段第四句指出了邮购的一个不利之处:But people often buy mote than they can really afford or need(但是人们常常购买超过其购买能力或者超过其需要的商品),这与[B]的意思一致。
