• 8．It's after midnight and you've been studying all day.Empty energy drinks line the table and you sigh， "Tomorrow，I'm getting ice cream.I deserve to treat myself."
      This year，the so-called "treat yourself culture" has expanded far beyond what was once a reward-based mindset.Now， "treating yourself" has become more about stress-caused indulgence（放纵）.It represents the more deep-seated issues with the stress we regularly put ourselves under.
      The root of the problem lies in our belief that we should be doing more work if it isn't hard enough.Especially at a top university，I constantly find myself wanting to do more.I want more credits，a higher-grade point average，and more responsibilities I'll later use as conversation topics in interviews.This drive is by no means a bad thing.We all are trying to eventually land in a place where we can relax and live a more enjoyable life.However，there are a lot of problems with this logic.Without sounding completely hopeless and pessimistic，it is possible that the future we imagine in our twenties will not become reality.Therefore，it is important to integrate things that make us happy with work，school or life-induced stress.
      Psychology certainly supports this belief.While having good self-control was positively associated with happiness，being able to enjoy life's little pleasures without feeling ashamed of doing so is just as important.For example，even if you have a busy schedule of work，make time to stop by your favorite coffee shop or spend ten minutes to go on a walk outdoors.
      I cannot urge you to give up your late nights of studying，energy drinks and all.I cannot tell you to always choose to do something that makes you happy over something you have or should do.Frankly，this is just not the way lifeworks.We have to put up with the hard work and put in the time.Without pain，we'd also lose happiness and joy.It's all about balance.
      So，instead of looking at everything as a way to handle the stress and something to "treat myself"，let's try to make treating ourselves a far more common practice in the busy lives we lead.
  
  （1）What causes the so-called "treat yourself culture"？

  
  （2）What does "this logic" in Paragraph 3 refer to？

  
  （3）Decide which part of the following statement is wrong.Underline it and explain why.
  •Working hard plays a more important role in a happy life than enjoying life's little pleasures.

  
  （4）Are you a follower of "treat yourself culture"？Why or why not？ （In about 40 words）
