    What would you do if your wallet became harder to open as your spending approached or【C1】______ your budget? Would you think twice about where your money was going?
    Part of the reason so many people spend too much, or fail to【C2】______ self-imposed budgets, is because spending money has become an abstraction in our increasingly cashless society. Credit cards provide immediate satisfaction, but no immediate【C3】______. So many researches suggest taking【C4】______ dollars from your wallet is more painful, and leads you to spend less.
    But there are plenty of mental【C5】______ and strategies that can make your budgeting more sustainable now. In fact, the best strategy is not to think about it as budgeting at all.【C6】______, set up broad goals and automate all savings.
    "Self-control is wonderful, but it’s just not【C7】______," said Meir Statman, a finance professor. Start by becoming more【C8】______ of your spending, whether you write it down in a notepad or on Web sites.

选项
答案F
解析 空格前的连词or提示此处应填入一个与approached并列的动词，且为过去式。由上文的your wallet becameharder to open(难以打开钱包)和approached your budget(接近预算)可知，此处说的是开支超预算，因此选exceeded，指在大小、数量、程度上“超过，超出”。备选项中surpassed“胜过，强过”指在质量、速度、技术等方面超过对方，因此不选。
