Human’s Wants
71 When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, versions of country clubs and pleasure boats dance into view.
The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.
The first and basic level of wants involves food. 72 By the end of World War -Ⅱ these wants 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 wants was fairly well satisfied. 73 Rather than other levels , this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness, it includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care , entertainment, and fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing. 74 Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?
75 Consumers may be spending more and more on taxes to pay government action against diseases, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. At this stage, we may seek to ensure the health, safety and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.
| A．The more mental satisfaction, the better. |
| B．On this level, a great percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. |
| C．Human’s wants seem endless. |
| D．By the end of World War Ⅱ, most Americans had the good things on the first three levels. |
E. A fifth level probably involve wants that can be achieved best by community action
F. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears, clothing and some sort of shelter.
G. Then, in the late 1950’s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “life - enriching” level.

As Nicole and Mike Zupan get closer to retirement, they worry about more than just covering their own living expenses for the next several decades.He is autistic(患自闭症的) and may never be able to live on his own. Their idea of retirement is to live a quiet life close to their son.
They want to create a special needs trust to help pay for treatment and other expenses he might face as an adult.
“Because of our son’s needs, I guess I never really considered true retirement for us,” she says.She is to attend college in a few years.
The Zupans’ ideal plan is for Mike, 60, to retire first, in five to seven years, and for Nicole, 52, to continue working for several years beyond that before she joins him in retirement.
But before they can get there, they want to pay off the $18,000 in credit card debt, partly because their son’s treatment is not covered by insurance. They have about $230,000 left on the mortgage(按揭) for their home in Fairfax County, Va., which they assess will take about 12 years to pay off.
Matters are complicated by the fact that Nicole, who worked as a preschool teacher, is now unemployed while she recovers from foot operation. Mike’s $120,000 income, which he earns as a government clerk, is enough to cover their basic living expenses. But Nicole wants to get back to work so the family could afford more treatment for Josef and pay down their debt faster. They also would be able to save more for their long-term goals, including retirement, their daughter’s college tuition and their son’s future living expenses.
| A．Besides they have a $14,000 loan they used on home improvements. |
| B．It’s unlikely that Josef will go to college. |

The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things? The list is endless.
Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you.
You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That’ll keep you busy for ages.
At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!
Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can speed a lot of time making them. Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it.
So there you are, get clubbing! Once you get started you’ll think of loads of more interesting things to do!
| A．That’s easy. |
| B．Enjoy your own club! |
| C．Invite a designer to join you. |
| D．What are you interest in? |
