8、ipped itself with jets, for example, its costs (and therefore air fare) would go up, but the new planes meant such an improvement that the higher cost was justified.

9、placement was fully repaid. Manufacturers still cry their goods as persuasively as ever, but are the improvements really worth paying for In many fields, things have now reached such a high standard of performance that further progress is very limited and very, very expensive. Airlines, for example,
10、 go to enormous expense in buying the latest prestige jets, in which vast research costs have been spent on relatively small improvements.

11、 capital costs become relatively insignificant Again, in the context of a 70 m. p. h.

12、d perfectly, and comfort has now reached a very high level. Small improvements here are unlikely to be worth the thousands that anybody replacing an ordinary family car every two years may have spent on them. Let us instead have cars or wireless, electric kettles, washing machines, television sets w
13、hich are made to last, and not to be replaced. Significant progress is obviously a good thing, but the insignificant progression from model-change to model-change is not. 1.

18、was in the fifth grade. My marks in school were miserable and, the thing was, I didnt know enough to really care. My older bother and I lived with Mom in a dingy multi-family house in Detroit. We watched TV every night. The background noise of our lives was gunfire and horses hoofs from “Wagon Train
19、” or “Cheyenne”, and laughter from “I Love Lucy”, or “Mister Ed”. After supper, wed sprawl on Mons bed and stare for hours at the tube. But one day Mom changed our world forever. She turned off the TV. Our mother had only been able to get through third grade. But, she was much brighter and smarter t
20、han we boys know at the time. She had noticed something in the suburban houses she cleaned books.
