a fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice. 40 in this way, we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.aat this stage, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure.balso included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.cwhen there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.dthere are several levels of wants in ones life.ethen a third level appeared. fhuman wants seem endless.gdifferent people have different wants on each level.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。i was really honoured to be one of the students sent to south korea to improve the relation between our city, zibo, and our sister citygwangju (光州) city. when my teacher told me that i was chosen, i was happy and surprised and an image of the country appeared in my dreams several times. also, many 41 ran through my mind, such as how would we communicate?
