Human wants seem endless. When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, visions 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 most basic level of wants involves food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears—clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War Ⅱthese 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. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the "life-enriching" level. While the other levels inv61ve physical satisfaction the feeling, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body-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 entertainment. Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.
On the fourth level, a greater percentage of consumers spending goes to service, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increase, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?
A fifth level probably would involve wants 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.
Which of the following is NOT related to "physical satisfaction" ?
选项
A、A successful career.
B、A cozy home.
C、A good meal.
D、A family car.
答案
A
解析
本题考杳推理判断。第四段开头说“在20世纪50年代末又出现另一种需要——生活丰富层次”,然后说“其他三个层次是关于物质满足的。而这一层次是强调精神的——即得到认可的需要,成就感的需要和幸福感的需要”。因此说成功的事业,即成就感不属于物质满足。
