Human’s Wants
71 When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, versions of country clubs and pleasure boats dance into view.
The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.
The first and basic level of wants involves food. 72 By the end of World War -Ⅱ these wants 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 wants was fairly well satisfied. 73 Rather than other levels , 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 care , entertainment, and fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing. 74 Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?
75 Consumers may be spending more and more on taxes to pay government action against diseases, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. At this stage, we may seek to ensure the health, safety and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.
| A.The more mental satisfaction, the better. |
| B.On this level, a great percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. |
| C.Human’s wants seem endless. |
| D.By the end of World War Ⅱ, most Americans had the good things on the first three levels. |
F. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears, clothing and some sort of shelter.
G. Then, in the late 1950’s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “life - enriching” level.

Let children learn to judge their work. 71 If corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. 72 They learn to do without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle, compare their own performances with those
of more skilled people, and slowly mak
e the needed changes.
But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. 73 we act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.
If it is a matter of
right answer, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. 74 Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? 75 Let the children learn what all educated people must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, and how to know what they know or do not know.
| A.Children learn to do all the other things in the same way. |
| B.Let him correct his own papers. |
| C.Point out his mistakes. |
| D.We do it all for him. |
F. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time.
G. Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer.
In a national spelling contest in America, an 11-year-old girl was asked to spell a certain word. But with her soft voice the judges were not sure if she spelled the word with the letter A or E. 71 By now, the girl knew she had misspelled the word. But instead of lying and telling the judges she had said the correct letter, she told the truth that she had said the wrong letter. 72
As the girl walked off the stage, the entire audience stood on their feet clapping to applaud her honesty. Later, dozens of newspaper reporters wrote about this 11-year-old girl’s courage and honesty, even when it cost her the contest. 73
Probably the biggest test of our character and honesty is what we would do if we knew we would never get caught.
This young girl could easily have lied, and nobody would have known it but her. But that’s just it: She would know she did wrong. 74
This young girl was strong and smart enough to prize her own conscience and character more than the prize from a spelling contest. Her respect for herself was more important than any respect others might give her for winning a contest. She knew she would have to live with herself and the choice she made at the moment.
75
| A.So she won the contest. |
| B.As a result, she lost the contest. |
| C.The judges wanted to give her another chance. |
| D.It’s been said, “If you cheat, you make yourself cheap.” |
F. They talked it over and finally decided to simply ask her what she had said.
G. But the fact is that she won the biggest contest that day: the contest of her character.

Duane Innes, an engineer, caused a car accident to save the life of driver Bill Pace. 1 But in Bill Pace’s case, Innes’ de
cision to put his own car in Pace’s path saved Pace’s life.
While Innes was driving his truck, he noticed Pace’s truck changing direction suddenly. 2 When he looked back at the driver, he saw that Pace lost consciousness(知觉) behind the wheel. The cars are approaching a busy crossroads, and Innes knew that Pace could be just a second from a dangerous collision(碰撞) with another car. He had to think fast.
3 “If I could let him hit me, we could slow down together,” he thought. So Innes pulled up in front of Pace’s truck, and allowed it to hit his own car, bringing both trucks to a safe stop. Pace, a 70-year-old volunteer, had a heart attack a few days earlier and it caused him to lose his consciousness. 4
After spending a week in the hospital for his heart disease, Pace is now doing well. “ 5 He saved my life,” said Pace. Innes said, “If someone else heard this story and said, ‘Hey, it pays to do something good,’ then it’s all worth it.”
| A.What a brave man Innes was! |
| B.Fortunately, Innes knew how to deal with it. |
| C.Duane Innes had to move his truck quickly to avoid getting hit. |
| D.Normally, if someone hits your car, you wouldn’t call him a hero. |
F. If Innes hadn’t blocked his truck, he would likely have died in a collision.
G. Duane Innes was injured badly and sent to hospital as soon as possible.

Shopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand of product on the shelf.
1 . Health foods are packaged in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colors. Ice cream packers are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver.
2 . Recently, some kind of pain killer was brought out, but researchers found it didn’t sell well, because the color made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white package -- because we think of blue as safe, and white as calm.
3 . But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as it appears to.
It is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 percent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!
The most successful producers know the troth: 4 . The founder of Pears soup, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote their goods, came to the conclusion: “ 5 .”
