13、 resources, here identified as money, are _1_. The only way we can resolve our problem is to make choices. After looking at our resources, we must examine our list of _2_ and identify the things we need immediately, those we can postpone, and _3_ we cannot afford. As individuals, we face the central
14、 problem involved in economics-deciding just how to allocate our limited our limited resources to provide _4_ with the greatest satisfaction of our wants.Nations face the same problem. As a countrys population _5_, the need for more goods and services grows correspondingly. Resources necessary to pr
15、oduction may increase, but there _6_ are enough resources to satisfy the total desires of a nation. Whether the budget meeting is taking place in the family living room, in the conference room of the corporation _7_ of directors, or in the chamber of the House of Representatives in Washington, the b
16、asic problem still exists. We need to find _8_ of allocating limited resources in order to satisfy unlimited wants.A short time ago economists divided goods into two categories, free and economic. The former, like air and water, were in _9_ abundance that economists had no concern for them. After al
17、l, economics is the _10_ of scarcity and what to do about it. Today many of these “free goods“ are _11_ very expensive to use. Pollution has made clean air and water expensive for producers extra costs, and _12_ taxpayers who pay for the governments involvement in cleaning the environment.In the 199
18、0s, almost all goods are _13_. Only by effort and money _14_ obtained in the form people wish.Meeting needs of people and the demands from resource available _15_ the basic activity of production. In trying to meet unlimited wants from limited economic goods, production leads to new problems in econ

They used _1_ illustrations and the art
22、icles were about politics or business.Two men changed that - Joseph Pulitzer _2_ the New York World and William Randolph Hearst of the New York Journal. Pulitzer bought the New York World _3_ 1883. He changed it from a traditional newspaper into a very_4_ one overnight. He added _5_ illustrations an
23、d cartoons. And he told his reporters to write articles on _6_ crime or scandal they could find. And they did. One of them even pretended she was crazy and then she _7_ to a mental hospital. She then wrote a series of articles about the poor treatment of _8_ in those hospitals.In 1895, Hearst came t
24、o New York from _9_ California. He wanted the Journal to be more sensational and more exciting _10_ the world. He also wanted it to be _11_, so he reduced the price by a penny. Hearst attracted attention because his headlines were bigger than_12_. He often said, “Big print makes big news.“Pulitzer a
25、nd Hearst did anything they _13_ to sell newspapers. For example, Hearst sent Frederic Remington, the famous illustrator, _14_ pictures of the Spanish-American War. When he got there, he told Hearst that no fighting was_15_. Hearst answered, “You furnish the pictures. Ill furnish the war.“EXERCISE:1

His purpose is settled and decided in _1_. He knows what he wants, and his _2_ is to find it and buy it. All men simply walk i
29、nto a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyones _3_.For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants. In that _4_ the salesman tries
30、 to sell the customer something else - he offers the nearest to the article required. Good salesman brings out such a substitute with _5_: “I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size. It _6_ to be the colour you mentioned.“ Few men have _7_ with this tre
31、atment, and the usual response is: “This is the right colour and may be the right size, but I should be _8_ my time and yours by trying it on.“For a woman, buying clothes is always done in the _9_ way. Her shopping is not often _10_ on need. She has never fully decided what she wants, and she is onl
32、y “having a look round“. She is always open to persuasion, willing to try _11_ any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that _12_ thinks suits her. Most women have an excellent sense of value and are always on the look-out for the unexpected _13_. Faced with a
33、roomful of dresses, a woman nay easily spend an hour going from one rail to another _14_ selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a tiresome process, but apparently a(n) _15_one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.EXERCISE:1. A) detail B) advance C) hurry D) full2. A) o
