问题    Human needs seem endless. When a hungry man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat, when a manager gets a new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats dance into view. The needs of mankind are thought to be made up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears.
   The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War II, these needs 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 needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared; the "life-enriching" level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the need in comfort, safety, and transportation, 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 and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing. On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?
   A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.
According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when______.
选项 A、he has saved up enough money
B、he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter
C、he has satisfied his hunger
D、he has learned to build houses
答案C
解析 本题为细节题。题目问的是人类会在什么时候开始考虑需要房子和衣服。本题可以定位原文的第二段的段首句和第二句“The first and most basic level of needs involves food．Once this level is satisfied，the second level of needs，clothing and some sort of shelter，appears．”。在第二句话中，shelter表示“庇护，避难所”，代指房子housing，也就是人们对食物的需求得到满足，才开始产生对衣服和房子的需求，故选C项。
