9、 Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the 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 person s utilization does not reduce the possibiliti
10、es of anybody else s enjoying the same good.Examples of public goods 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 hold
11、s true for highway signs or aids to navigation. Once a lighthouse is 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 p
12、ay any taxes will benefit from the protection afforded.It is no easy 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 pro
13、vided to them through national defense. Because the market does not 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 mark
14、etplace.（C） A specific group of commodities.（D）The advantages of lowering 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 g

17、ple. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?“ “When I got 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, it s too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends or our en
18、emies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don t really listen closely we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You re a lucky dog. “ That s being friendly. But “lucky dog“? There s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn t see it himself. But
19、bringing in the “dog“ puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn t 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 proble
20、m as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn t important. It s 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 someone s words? One way
21、is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.25 According to

25、. We often believe we re more skillful in getting our point across than we actually are, according to Boza Keysar, a professor at the University of Chicago. In his recent study, speakers tried to express their meanings using unclear sentences. Speakers who thought listeners understood were wrong nea
26、rly half the time. Heres some good advice to reduce misunderstanding:(1)Dont trust what you see from the listener.

27、d. If you say, “Beth discusses her problems with her husband,“ it s not clear whether she s talking to her husband or about him. Try instead, “ Beth talks to her husband about her problems. “ or “ Beth talks to others about the problems with her husband.(3)Ask listeners to repeat your message. Intro
28、duce your request by saying “I want to be sure I said that right. “ Questions like “How does that sound?“ or “Does that make sense?“ may also work.(4)Listen well.
