題組三：請閱讀下列段落，根據文意回答相關子題，並將答案寫在答案卷上。
Modern society is deeply shaped by advertising and consumer culture, which constantly
encourages people to desire more than they truly need. Through repeated exposure to
brands, slogans, and images, individuals are subtly influenced to associate consumption
with identity and success. As a result, people often pursue material goods in an attempt to
achieve happiness or social belonging. This consumer-driven mindset not only affects
personal values but also has broader consequences. Natural resources are heavily
exploited to sustain production, leading to environmental degradation. At the same time,
corporations have gained significant influence, sometimes shaping government policies
and public behavior. Consumption becomes a form of participation in this system,
reinforcing its power. Ultimately, the gap between what people have and what they
believe they should have reflects not merely an economic issue but a deeper moral
concern. Without critical reflection, society may continue down a path with serious longterm consequences.
