What do we mean by a satisfactory standard of living? Obviously, it must include the basic necessities of life such as food, clothing and shelter. To get these necessities on regular basis, a person must have a reliable income. But we have other needs which would probably also be included as basic, such as health and education facilities.
We may think of all of these as our needs. Yet most of us would be far from satisfied if we had nothing more than these which are supplied for us. We all enjoy extra income to spend on things like books, sports or hobbies. Sometimes we save some of this extra income to pay for future expense of this type on holidays. So we must add our wants to our basic needs. Our standard of living is the degree, to which these needs and wants are satisfied.
But as time goes on, what we think of as our basic needs changes. Twenty years ago a television would have been a luxury, and still is in many countries now. Even now we cannot say it is a need in the same sense as food, clothing and shelter. Yet if most of the people of a country have one, it comes to be accepted as a need. It is possible therefore to have food, clothing and shelter and still be poor by the standards of our own society.
If most of the people of a country have a television, we______.
选项
A、can say the television is a need in the same sense as food, clothing and shelter
B、can say the television must be in the basic necessities
C、cannot say the television is in the basic necessities
D、can say every family must have one
答案
C
解析
推理题。文章最后一段倒数第二句提到,如果一个国家的大部分人都有一台电视机,那么电视机将有可能成为一种基本的需要。该段第三句提到,现在我们不能说对电视的需求与对食物、衣服和住所的需求相同,选项A(可以说电视和衣、食、住一样是必需品)错误。选项B(可以说电视一定是必需品)和选项D(可以说每个家庭必须有一个)说法过于绝对。故本题选C。
