1．In his 1930essay"Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren"，John Keynes，a famous economist，wrote that human needs fall into two classes：absolute needs，which are independent of what other have，and relative needs，which make us feel superior to our fellows．He thought that although relative needs may indeed be insatiable （无止境的） this is not true of absolute needs．
Keynes was surely correct that only a small part of total spending is decided by the desire for superiority．He was greatly mistaken，however，in seeing this desire as the only source of insatiable demands．
Decisions to spend are also driven by ideas of quality which can influence the demands almost all goods，including even basic goods like food．When a couple goes out for an anniversary dinner，for example，the thought of feeling superior to others probably never comes to them．The goal is to share a special meal that stands out from other meals．
There are no obvious limits to the escalation of demand for quality．For example，Porsche famous car producer，has a model which was considered perhaps the best sport car on the market．Priced at over $120，000，it handles perfectly well and has great speed acceleration．But in 2000the producer introduced some changes which made the model slightly better in handling acceleration．People who really care about cars find these small improvements exciting．To them，however，they must pay almost four times the price．
By placing the desire to be superior to other at the heart of his description of insatiable demands，Keynes actually reduced such demands．However，the desire for higher quality has natural limits．

20．Phil White has just returned from an 18，OOO-mile，around-the-world bicycle trip．White had two reasons for making this epic journey．First of all，he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity，which he did．He raised～70，000for the British charity，Oxfam．White's second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world．He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not．
White set off from Trafalgar Square，in London，on 19th June 2004and was back 299days later．He spent more than l，300hours in the saddle（车座） and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains．He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe，the Middle East，India，Asia，Australia，New Zealand and the Americas．Amazingly，he did all of this with absolutely no support team．No jeep carrying food，water and medicine．No doctor．Nothing!Just a bike and a very，very long road．
The journey was lonely and desperate at times．He also had to fight his way across deserts，through jungles and over mountains．He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up t0 45degrees，all to help people in need．There were other dangers along the road．In Iran，he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had．The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia．For l，000kilometres he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him．This part of the trip was slow，hard work and depressing，but he made it in the end．Now Mr．White is back and intends to write a book about his adventures．
