The President and First Lady throw a party for thousands of guests mostly kids on the White House South Lawn and nearby. There is plenty to do at this all-day affair-everything from storytelling and stage shows to art activities-and plenty to eat. But it is the egg rolling that attracts the most attention. Easter involves eggs, and the White House celebration has lots of them. Thousands of hard-boiled eggs are dyed different colors, and guests go home with special wooden eggs.Washington. D,C has been hosting egg parties for quite some time. Some say Dolley Madison and also Abraham Lincoln held egg rolling parties.

Hayes was president. Two years later, it was a regular event there.The Easter parties are never the same. In the late 1880s, John Philip Dousa, a famous director, started performing at them. In the late 1920s, he even wrote a musical composition called “Easter Monday on the Write House Lawn”. In those years, guests played Egg Ball, toss and catch or Egg Croquet (槌球戏). Sometimes they went on an egg bunt. While egg rolling was a big part of every party, egg rolling races didnt begin until the early 1970s. And it wasnt until 1969 that the While House Easter Bunny was invited. He has been a every party since then. Only a lew things can stop the White House Easter event.

People who have such an addiction are compulsive (强迫的); they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must satisfy. According to psychologists, many people are compulsive spenders. They feel that they must spend money. This compulsion, like others, is impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive spenders who buy on credit, charge accounts are even more exciting than money. In other words, compulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasure in spending large amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy.There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting. To save money, of course, most people look for sales, low prices, and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy things that they dont need just because they are cheap. They want to believe that they are helping their budgets, but they are really playing an exciting game. When they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winning. Most people, experts claim, have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason.It is not only scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also business people. Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business. They consider peoples needs for love, power, or influence, their basic values, their beliefs and opinions, and so on in their advertising and sales methods.Psychologists often use a method called behavior therapy(疗法) to help individuals solve their personality problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money.60According to the psychologists, a compulsive spender is one who spends large amounts of money _.

Some will shout: “Kick the ball!” But others will encourage the team to take a chance. “Go for it!” they will scream.In the nineteen eighties, people began using this expression in many kinds of situations to encourage someone to act bravely.
