9、he Answer Sheet.20 Public goods are those commodities from whose enjoyment nobody can be effectively excluded. Everybody is free to enjoy the benefits of these commodities, and one persons utilization does not reduce the possibilities of anybody else s enjoying the same good.Examples of public goods

10、 are not as rare as one might expect. A flood control dam is a public goods. Once the dam is built, all persons living in the area will benefitirrespective of their own contribution to the construction cost of the dam. The same holds true for highway signs or aids to navigation. Once a lighthouse is

11、 built, no ship of any nationality can be effectively excluded from the utilization of the lighthouse for navigational purposes. National defense is another example. Even a person who voted against military expenditures or did not pay any taxes will benefit from the protection afforded.It is no easy

12、 task to determine the social costs and social benefits associated with public goods. There is no practicable way of charging drivers for looking at highway signs, sailors for watching a lighthouse, and citizens for the security provided to them through national defense. Because the market does not

13、provide the necessary signals, economic analysis has to be substituted for the impersonal judgement of the marketplace.21 What does the passage mainly discuss?（A）Mechanisms for safer navigation.（B） The economic structure of the marketplace.（C） A specific group of commodities.（D）The advantages of low

14、ering taxes.22 Which of the following would NOT be an example of public goods as described in the passage?（A）A taxi.（B） A bridge.（C） A fire truck.（D）A stoplight.23 According to the passage, finding out the social costs of a public good is a_.（A）difficult procedure（B） daily administrative duty（C） mat

17、that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?“ When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, its too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we d

18、ont really listen closely we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “Youre a lucky dog.“ Thats being friendly. But “lucky dog“? Theres a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesnt see it himself. But bringing in the “dog“ puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that

19、he doesnt think you deserve your luck.“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for“ is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is th

20、e thought that your problem isnt important. Its telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you havent got a date for Saturday night.How can you tell the real meaning behind someones words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks?
