The traditional distinction between products that satisfy needs and those that satisfy wants is no longer adequate to describe classes of products. In today’s prosperous societies, the distinction has become unclear because so many wants have been turned into needs. A writer, for instance, can work with paper and pencils. These are legal needs for the task. But the work can be done more quickly and efficiently with a word processor. Thus a computer is soon viewed as a need rather than a want.

In the field of marketing, consumer goods are classed according to the way in which they are purchased. The two main classes are convenience goods and shopping goods. Two lesser types are specialty goods and unsought(主动提供的) goods. It must be emphasized that all of these types are based on the way shoppers think about products, not on the nature of the products themselves. What is regarded as a convenience item in France (wine, for example) should be a specialty goods in the United States.

People do not spend a great deal of time shopping for such convenience items as groceries, newspapers, toothpaste, aspirin, and candy. The buying of convenience goods may be done routinely, as some families buy groceries once a week. Such regularly purchased items are called staples. Sometimes convenience products are bought without enough thinking; someone has a sudden desire for an ice cream sundae(圣代) on a hot day. Or they may be purchased as emergency items.

Shopping goods are items for which customers search. They compare prices, quality, and styles, and may visit a number of stores before making a decision. Buying an automobile is often done this way.

Shopping goods fall into two classes; those that are recognized as basically the same and those that are regarded as different. Items that are looked upon as basically the same include such things as home appliances, television sets, and automobiles. Having decided on the model desired, the customer is primarily interested in getting the item at the most favorable price. Items regarded as essentially different include clothing, furniture, and dishes. Quality, style and fashion will either take precedence(优先) over price, or they will not matter at all.

1.It can be learned from the first paragraph that ______.

A. a writer needs a word processor

B. needs and wants can’t be separated clearly

C. the way to distinguish the products is unimportant

D. a computer is a need rather than a want

2.The example of wine is used to illustrate that ______.

We live in a technological society where most goods are mass-produced by unskilled labor. Because of this, most people think that craft no longer exists.

One of the ways these people wrongly support their view is by pointing to 100-year-old homes which are still solid, and arguing that it is the craftsmanship that is responsible for their durability, “Homes in those days were well-built.” they say. No doubt these homes were well-built, but what these people have done is mix up the quality of material used in the house with the quality of the craftsmanship.

Homes today could be built to last just as long as those old homes if people were willing or able to pay the price. For example, most people can no longer afford solid oak stairways, although they were once fairly common in older homes. Nor can they afford the high labor cost of employing a carpenter to build the stairway. Yet if someone can pay the high cost, there are still plenty of carpenters around able to make those stairway. And not only would these carpenters know how to build them, they would probably do a better job than carpenters of old.

One thing the modern carpenter has which enables him to do a better job is much more advanced tools. Such tools as laser beams and power planes help them lay out a house better and make more precision cuts on the wood. Also, it is not uncommon any more to find carpenters with college degrees and carpenters with a sold knowledge of mathematics, which would enable them to deal with more difficult house designs.

The problem of modern quality, then, really boils down to the problem of material, for the modern carpenter is just as able to produce craftsmanship as the carpenter of fifty yeas ago, but only if given proper material.

1.Compared with the carpenters in the past, modern carpenters are ________ .

A. more learned B. more successful

C. more imaginative D. more hardworking

2.What does the underlined word “they” (paragraph 2) refer to?

A. Carpenters who are fond of oak stairways.

B. People who think highly of carpenters of old.

C. Carpenters who have college degrees.

D. People who think that modern material is of low quality.

3.What dose the third paragraph mainly discuss?

A. People in the past preferred to use oak to build stairways.

B. It is now expensive to employ a carpenter.

C. Good carpenters still exist in modern times.

D. Modern houses last as long as the old ones.

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A. Carpenters Today and Yesterday

B. Craft, Back to Life?

C. History of Craftsmanship

D. Is Craft Dead?

Up to two-fifths of a food crop is often wasted because it is “ugly”, a report on food waste has shown.

Produce grown in the UK that does not meet retailer(零售商) standards on appearance is often given to animals or thrown out even though it is healthy to eat.

The report from the UK’s global food security program also showed that the average household throws away more than 5kg of food a week, and nearly two-thirds of that waste is avoidable.

The waste costs ? 480 a year per household on average, and ? 680 per family.

Households throw away a fifth of the food they buy, wasting it for reasons ranging from cooking too much to not using it before it goes bad, the study showed.

Consumption is the top area where food is wasted in the UK, the study said.

Farmers respond to consumer demands for high-quality food with standards that can lead to the crop being wasted. Some supermarkets have started marketing “odd shapes and sizes” of fruit and vegetables, though.

Also, more UK consumers are prepared to accept “ugly” fruit and vegetables, amid concerns over sustainability(可持续发展) and food prices, the research said.

In developing countries, much of the loss of food occurs during post-harvesting storage, processing and packaging.

Tackling waste globally is necessary to feed a growing world population sustainably. One in eight people worldwide doesn’t have enough food, the report said.

Around a third of food produced globally is lost or wasted.

Professor Tim Benton, an expert on food security at the University of Leeds, said: “Over 5 million people in the UK live in poverty, where basic food provision is a daily challenge.”

Nearly 400,000 people used food banks last year, according to the Trussell Trust.

“At the same time, 15 million tons of food is wasted annually, with nearly half thrown away within UK households. Reducing the scale(范围) of losses and waste throughout the food system is a crucial step.”

The report highlights priorities(优先事项) for research to help reduce food waste, including improving harvesting and packaging technologies and seasonal weather prediction.

1. Food waste in developing nations is mainly due to .

A. fast growing populations

B. huge demand for high-quality foods

C. poor technology in food industries

D. people’s lack of concern about food shortages

2.We can conclude from the article that .

A. over half of the food produce in the UK is wasted within households

B. “ugly” fruits and vegetables are becoming more and more popular in the UK

C. avoiding food waste could, by itself, solve food shortage problems around the world

D. developing better farming and packaging technologies is key to reducing food waste

3.Which of the following statements might Professor Tim Benton agree with?

A. British farmers should keep up with their high growing standards.

B. The number of people living in poverty is growing too fast in Britain.

C. There is still much to do to improve British people’s awareness of food sustainability.

D. British supermarkets should be encouraged to sell food of odd shapes and sizes.

4.What is suggested in the report?

A. Cutting food prices.

B. Using different approaches to reduce food waste.

C. Improving the appearance of food.

D. Cooking at home more often.

 

All over the world there seems ________people out of work nowadays.

A．to have a great many B．to be a great many
