    As civilization proceeds in the direction of technology, it passes the point of supplying all the basic
essentials of life-food, shelter, clothes and warmth. Then we are faced with a choice between using
technology to provide and fulfill needs which have now been regarded as unnecessary or, on the
other hand, using technology to reduce the number of hours of work which a man must do in order
to earn a given standard of living. In other words, we either raise our standard of living above that
necessary for comfort and happiness or we leave it at this level and work shorter hours.
     I shall take it for granted that mankind has, by that time, chosen the latter alternative. Men will be
working shorter and shorter hours in their paid employment. It follows that the housewife will also
expect to be able to have more leisure in her life without lowering her standard of living. It also follows
that human domestic servants will have completely ceased to exist. Yet the great majority of the
housewives will wish to be relieved completely from the routine operations of the home such as
scrubbing the floors or the bath of the cooker, or washing the clothes or washing up, or dusting or
sweeping, or making beds.
    By far the most logical step to relieve the housewife of routine is to provide a robot which can be
trained to the requirements of a particular home and can be programmed to carry out half a dozen
or more standard operations, when switched by the housewife.

1. As civilization develops in the direction of technology,________.
A. the basic essentials of life must be supplied
B. it is important to supply the basic essentials of life
C. it is no longer so important as it was in the past to supply all the basic essentials of life
D. it is not necessary to supply the basic essentials of life

2. According to the author, we are faced with________.
A. the choice of providing and fulfilling our needs
B. the choice of using technology
C. the choice of earning a standard of living
D. a choice between using technology to provide and fulfill needs to reduce the number of working hours

3. What alternative will mankind have chosen in future?
A. To leave our standard of living at this level and work shorter hours.
B. To raise our standard of living.
C. To fulfill needs which have been regarded as unnecessary.
D. To lower our standard of living and work shorter hours.

4. Now most housewives wish to________.
A. stop doing their housework
B. do more housework to improve their life
C. get rid of the heavy burden of their housework
D. do only simple and light housework

5. It can be inferred that robots will be invented ____.
A. to take the place of housewives
B. to help manage a family
C. to do the routine of housework instead of human
D. to provide the daily necessities for man

interlocked to make structures.
     Two years after Mickey Mouse was created，stuffed(填塞)Mickey Mouse dolls were made by

     For five days, Edmonton's Downtown Park is transformed into one huge stage where artists are able to
share their talents, and where people are able to celebrate and enjoy themselves. Since its beginning in 1980,
the Edmonton Folk Music Festival has been commemorating (纪念) the true feeling of what folk music is
all about and that's the traditional togetherness (友爱) that is felt when people gather to share stories and
feelings through song.
     This year will be the sixth year when volunteer Riedel will be offering up her time to the festival. "People
coming off a busy spring and summer have a moment of relaxation," Riedel said. "It's really east to relax,
and it's great seeing family and friends have fun together." These families and friends come from all different
kinds of musical tastes. People who take pleasure in Blues are there, so are people who love Bluegrass. This
festival does its best to develop everyone's musical interests.
     With so many years of experience, the festival has become a well-oiled machine, and does whatever it
can to make attendees feel as possible. There are free water stations throughout the venue (举办地) for
people to fill up their travel cups. When people buy food, reusable dishes are given a $2 plate fee, but that is
returned when the plate is brought back.
    The festival has completely sold out of tickets, and in record time. But with big names such as Van
Morrison and Jakob Dylan, it's easy to see how that was going to happen. There is no parking area during
the festival, so using the Park & Ride system or Edmonton Transit is highly recommended. A bike lock-up
area is provided and will be available Thursday until Sunday one hour before the gates open until 45 minutes
after the gates close.
     The Edmonton Folk Music Festival begins on Wednesday, Aug. 4 with Van Morrison playing the special
donation fund (基金) concert, and will finish up on Sunday, Aug.8.

     Geneva is situated between the Jura Range and the Alps on the western end of Lake Geneva. Capital
of Peace is one of its names- the European headquarters of the United Nations lies here in Palais des

     Some names have special meanings in popular American expressions. One day, an average Joe was
walking down the street. An average Joe is a common person-either male or female. He was lost. He did
not know where he was going. So average Joe asked John Q. Public for directions to the nearest bank.
John Q. Public is also a common person-male or female. "Jeez Louise," said John Q., Public. This is an
expression of surprise. "Don't you know that all banks are closed today? It is Saturday."
     "For Pete's sake," said average Joe. This is also an expression used to show a feeling like surprise or
disappointment. "I do not believe you," said he. At that moment, Joe Blow was walking down the street
with a woman. Joe Blow is also an expression for a common person. Now this Joe Blow was not walking
next to a plain Jane. A plain Jane is a woman who is neither ugly nor pretty. The woman with Joe Blow

taxes to Uncle Sam". This represents the United States government. The banker produced some papers

     The horsepower was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt had made the world's first widely
used steam engine. He had no way of telling people exactly how powerful it was, for at that time there
were no units for measuring power.
    Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He called that unit
one horsepower. With this unit he could measure the work his steam engine could do.
    He discovered that a horse could lift a 3,300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His
engine could lift a 3,300 pound weight 100 feet in one minute.

     The traditional distinction between products that satisfy needs and those 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 ______.

A. goods are classified differently in different countries
B. the types of the product lie on the people rather than its nature
C. Frenchmen often drink but Americans sometimes do
D. one product may belong to many types

3. Staples are items that ______.

A. are convenient to purchase
B. are purchased without enough thinking
C. people "want but don't need"
D. people are in constant need of

4. Shopping goods that are considered as basically the same are those that ______.

A. consumers don't care where to buy them
B. consumers spend much time searching for
C. satisfy similar needs of the consumer
D. can be found in nearly every shop
