You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.41 One thing almost everyone is agreed on, including Americans, is that they pla
19、ce a very high valuation upon success. Success does not necessarily mean material rewards, but recognition of some sort preferably measurable. If the boy turns out to be a preacher (传教) instead of a businessman, thats all right. But the bigger his church and congregation, the more successful he is j
20、udged to be.A good many things contributed to this accent on success. There was the Puritan (清教) belief in the virtue of work, both for its own sake and because the rewards it brought were regarded as signs of Gods love. There was the richness of opportunity in a land waiting to be settled. There wa
21、s the lack of a settled society with fixed ranks and classes, so that a man was certain to rise through achievement.There was the determination of the immigrant to gain in the new world what had been denied to him in the old. And on the part of his children an urge to throw off the immigrant Onus (负
22、担) by still more success and still more rise in a fluid, classless society.

More and more the institution of a community are expected to anticipate (预见) the needs of the citizen, and to make possible a healthier, happier, richer life. Meanwhile service as a commercial activity has leaped ahead. Since 1870 the experience
27、d labor force engaged in production of services has risen from 25% to 35%. Whether you want a daily diaper (尿布) service for the new infant, a carwash (many of them mechanized so as to be completed in ten or fifteen minutes ) or a clipping for your dog, you are sure to find it. The yellow pages in th
28、e back of every telephone booklist hundreds of such offerings.While the supermarkets have been moving in the direction of self-service in exchange for lower prices, smaller enterprises have sprung up to supply home service to those who want it, especially to the many people who now live in rural or
29、suburban areas.
