问题     There are three basic ways in which individual economic units interact with one another. They are the market system, the administered system, and the traditional system.
    In a market system, individual economic units are free to interact among each other in the market place. Transactions may take place through barter or money exchange. In a barter economy, real goods such as automobiles, shoes, and pizzas are traded against each other. Obviously, finding somebody who wants to trade an old car in exchange for a sailboat may not always be an easy task. Hence the introduction of money as a medium of exchange eases transactions considerably.
    An alternative to the market system is administered control by some agency over all transactions. This agency will issue laws or commands as to how much each goods and service should be produced, exchanged, and consumed by each economic unit. Central planning may be one way of administering such an economy. The central plan drawn up by the government shows the amount of each commodity produced by the various firms and distributed to different households for consumption.
    In a traditional society, production and consumption patterns are governed by tradition. Each person’s place with the economic system is fixed by parentage, religion, and custom. Transactions take place on the basis of tradition, too. People belonging to a certain group or caste may have an obligation to care for other persons, provide them with food and shelter, care for their health, and provide for their education. Clearly, in a system where every decision is made on the basis of tradition alone progress may be difficult to achieve.
Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the author as a criterion for determining a person’s position in a traditional society?
选项 A、Family background.
B、Age.
C、Religious beliefs.
D、Custom.
答案B
解析 事实细节题。第四段第二句指出，每个人在经济体系中的地位都是由出身、宗教和习俗决定的，并未提到年龄，故答案为B项。
