13、less. They might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is enough money to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears.The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the
14、 end of World War II , these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared: the“l
15、ife-enriching“ level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services.Among them are vacation trips, the best med
16、ical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing.On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods.A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by communit
17、y action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the g

21、 Hour“ movementinitiated by the World Wildlife Fund is set to be marked around the world. In an effort to bring attention to global climate change, the group is calling for lights to be turned off across the globe between 8: 30 p. m. and 9: 30 p. m. on Saturday.Some of the most famous places in Chin
22、a will join “Earth Hour“. The Birds Nest and the Water Cube in Beijing and the Oriental Pearl Broadcasting Tower in Shanghai will switch off their lights for one hour on Saturday evening. Citizens, communities, and companies around the country are doing their part to organize and promote the movemen
23、t.So far, more than 2, 400 cities from 81 countries and 1 billion people from around the world have joined“Earth Hour“. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is urging more people to participate and make some contribution to the efforts against global warming.“Earth Hour“ began in Sydney in 2007. In 3 ye
24、ars, it has grown into one of the worlds largest joint actions dealing with climate change.On March 31st, 2007, over 2.2 million homes and businesses in Sydney switched off their lights for one hour. It was estimated that electricity saved during that hour could sustain 200, 000 TV sets for one hour
25、.As an added reward, Sydney residents joining the movement said they could see more stars than ever during that night. After that, “Earth Hour“ spread around the world at an amazing speed. In 2008, from Oceania to Asia, from Europe to America, 50 million people switched off their lights. More and mo
26、re people have been joining the“ Earth Hour“ movement and contributing in their own way to save our planet.29 What is the aim of the “Earth Hour“movement?（A）To draw attention to global warming.（B） To draw attention to smoking.（C） To save people.（D）To save our money.30 Which organization started the“

28、esults of the“ Earth Hour“ movement?（A）The temperature drops.（B） The sky becomes blue.（C） People become richer.（D）People can see mors stars.32 For some time past, it has been widely accepted that babies and other creatures learn to do things because certain acts lead to“ rewards“ : and there is no r
29、eason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that effective rewards, at least in the early stages, had to be directly related to such basic physiological “ drives“ as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink or some sort of physical com
30、fort, not otherwise.It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no reward except the successful outcome.Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to“ reward“ the babies and so teach them to carry out some simple mov
31、ements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would still go on making the learned response with clear signs of pleasure. So he began to study the childrens responses in situations where no milk was provided.
32、He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the movement “switched on “a display of lightsand indeed that they were capable of learning quite complex turns to bring about this result. For instance, two left or two right, or even to make
33、as many as three turns to one side.Papouseks light display was placed directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting observation that sometimes they would not turn back to watch the lights closely although they would “smile and bubble“ when the display came on. Papousek concluded that i
34、t was not primarily the sight of the lights which pleased them, it was the success they were achieving in solving the problem, in mastering the skill, and that there exists a fundamental human urge to make sense of the world and bring it under intentional control.33 According to the author, babies l
35、earn to do things which_.（A）are directly related to pleasure（B） will meet their physical needs（C） will bring them a feeling of success（D）will satisfy their curiosity34 Papousek noticed in his studies that baby_.（A）would make learned responses when it saw the milk（B） would carry out learned movements
36、 when it had enough to drink（C） would continue the simple movements without being given milk（D）would turn its head to right or left when it had enough to drink35 In Papouseks experiment babies make learned movements of the head in order to _.（A）have the lights turned on（B） be rewarded with milk（C） p
37、lease their parents（D）be praised36 The babies would“ smile and bubble“ at the lights because_.（A）the lights were directly related to some basic“drives“（B） the sight of the lights was interesting（C） they need not turn back to watch the lights（D）they succeeded in “switching on“the lights36 Mr. Smith w
38、as a wealthy industrialist, but he was not satisfied with life. He did not sleep well and his food did not agree with him. This situation lasted for some time. Finally, after several sleepless nights, he decided to consult his doctor. The doctor advised a change of surroundings. “Go abroad, “ he sai
39、d. “But Im not good at foreign language, “ said Mr. Smith. “It doesnt matter, “said the doctor. “It wont hurt you to talk a little less. Go on a voyage. Take plenty of exercise. Try to reduce your weight. Avoid rich food. “Mr. Smith went to Switzerland. He did not know French or German, and had to c
40、ommunicate through gestures. He attended a physical training course. The instructor made him bend his knees, swing his arms, stretch his neck and shake his head rapidly. He had to lie on the ground and raise his right and left legs alternately. After a time his muscles grew hard and firm. He forgot
41、the financial crisis and the importance of raising the level of production. He even began to notice individual trees and individual birds.Finally he returned home. But unfortunately his improvement was only temporary. Soon he was a normal businessman again, worried about his property, his profits, h
42、is savings, his advancement in a technological society, and things in general.37 Mr. Smith went to see his doctor because he_.（A）had little to eat（B） was seriously ill（C） had to sleep（D）didnt feel well38 In the second paragraph, the word “gestures“ means_.（A）body movements（B） simple words（C） pens or
