The many needs of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears.
The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War Ⅱ, these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.
By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared; the “life-enriching” level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the need in comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing.
On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?
A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.
小题1: According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when .
A.he has saved up enough money |
B.he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter |
C.he has satisfied his hunger |
D.he has learned to build houses |
A.were very rich |
B.lived in poverty |
C.had the good things on the first three levels |
D.did not own automobiles |
A.A successful career. | B.A comfortable home. |
C.A good meal. | D.A family car. |
A.The more goods the better. |
B.The more mental satisfaction the better. |
C.The more “luxury” items the better. |
D.The more earnings the better. |

Doris was born in New Zealand but gave up her homeland when the couple met and married in the late 1990s. But New Zealand is close to both their hearts and the attraction of family and friends, and the good fishing helped to persuade them to move.
Doris, who has five children and nine grandchildren, supported her husband"s application to settle in New Zealand. The paperwork took five months. Eric says, "We not only had to produce a marriage certificate(证书) but we had to produce evidence that we were in a long and stable relationship!" He also said he was not asked about his age but had to show that he could support himself financially (财政上) in New Zealand.
"I like New Zealand. The way of life is very much the same as it is here but it is not so crowded." His wife has always been “a little bit homesick” but has never complained. Now the couple are in the middle of the task of sorting out possessions and selling their flat.

In their study, psychologists Joanne Wood and John Lee sought to determine how positive thinking affected people with different levels of self – confidence.They questioned dozens of people both made and female, analyzed their self – worth and optimism by means of the standard psychological methods and then asked them to write down their thoughts and feelings.The scoring system ranged from 0 to 35.
During the experiment, the researchers asked a total of 68 participants to repeat the self-help book phrase, “I am a lovable person.” After that they measured the participants’ moods and their feelings about themselves.The results revealed that the participants in the low self – respect group who repeated the mantra (颂歌), were feeling much worse afterwards, when compared to other participants in low self – respect group who did not repeat the phrase.Those with low self – respect who repeated the phrase scored an average of 10 points.Their counterparts (对比者) with equally low self – respect who were not asked to repeat the statement, were able to score a little higher average of 17 points.
However, individuals with high self – respect reported feeling better after repeating the positive self – statement – but only slightly.They scored an average of 31 points, compared with an average of 25 for those with equally high self – respect who did not repeat the phrase.
Professor Wood urged those who promote self – help books, magazines and television shows to stop telling people that simply repeating a positive mantra could change one’s life.First, people start following this idea and feel like they are not alone.They are told that all they have to do is just to read that book and then to repeat these positive statements in a hope that things will be better, and when it does not work for them and they realize that nothing gets better, then it is really frustration to people.
Researchers concluded: “Repeating positive self – statements may benefit certain people such as individuals with high self – respect but discourage the very people who need confidence the most.”
小题1:The experts tried to find out, when repeating positive self – statements, .
A.the different influences on people with different levels of self - confidence |
B.whether males or females will get more benefit from self – help books |
C.which group of people self – help books will do the greatest harm to |
D.who will get the least benefit from self – help book |
A.An average of 10 points. | B.An average of 17 points. |
C.An average of 31 points. | D.An average of 25 points. |
A.people lacking confidence |
B.people with high self - respect |
C.people with problems to settle urgently |
D.people repeating positive self – statements |
His eyes shone. There was a note of excitement in his voice. “Did you know that you had come into the finest place in the world to buy socks?” I had no idea of that, as my entrance had been accidental. “Come with me,” said the boy, eagerly. I followed him to the back of the shop, and he began to pull down box after box from the shelves, showing their contents (内装物)for my choice.
“Hold on, lad” I said “I am going to buy only one pair!” “I know that,” said he, “but I want you to see how beautiful these are. Aren’t they wonderful!” There was on his face an expression of seriousness and pride and delight as if he were showing me the secrets of his religion(宗教信仰). I became far more interested in him than in the socks. I looked at him in surprise. “My friend, ” said I, “if you can keep this up, if this is not merely from having a new job, if you can keep up this high spirit and excitement day after day, in ten years you will own every sock in the United States.”
小题1:What did the writer want to buy one fine afternoon?

A.The shop was on the Second Road. | B.The boy was 18 years old. |
