One of the best examples of a public good is national defense. One person can benefit from our national defense without reducing another persons benefits. In fact, it is difficult to keep any person in our society from enjoying the benefits of national defense.The market system does not work well in producing public goods. This is because a person who refuses to pay for a public good cannot be kept from using it. Suppose that the neighbors in a high crime area decide to hire a police force. Each neighbor, except Mrs. Smith, agrees to pay $ 100 a year for it. Mrs. Smith refuses to pay because she knows that if all the others pay the $ 100, the police will guard the area anyway. So Mrs. Smith can enjoy the services of the police force without paying $ 100.The market system has no way to deal with this type of problem. For this reason, we cannot ask each person to make a direct payment in the form of product price. Therefore, we collect money for public goods by using taxes.36. According to the passage, public goods are _.A) services enjoyed by all peopleB)what we can buy and sell in publicC) products that we make for national defenseD) taxes paid by the people involved37.The writer gives the example of national defense in paragraph 2 in order to show thatA) there will be no safety if there is no national defenseB)all the people should be responsible for national defenseC)a public good is a shared benefit for the whole societyD)some public goods are more important than others38.The person who does not pay for a public good _.A) keeps himself from using its benefitB) cannot enjoy its benefit at any timeC)fails to keep its benefit from being usedD) enjoys its benefit all the same39. In the third paragraph the author explains _., cA) what role the market system plays in producing public goodsB)how weak the market system plays in producing public goodsC)why some people refuse to pay for public goodsD)what we can do to make use of the market system40. From the passage we learn that the purpose of collecting taxes is _ A) to ensure the continuous supply of public goodsB)to reduce the difference between the rich and the poorC)to get extra money to support public goodsD)to remind people of their dutyTask 2 People in different parts of the world have very different ideas about what is good to eat. Even when people in different countries eat the same food, they often prepare it very differently. If you were in Germany, you would find soup that is thick and heavy. If you were in China, you would find soup that is thin and clear. On holidays most of us eat special foods. Year after year, even if many other things change, the food is always the same.Sometimes housewives begin weeks in advance to prepare the special foods that are traditionally served on certain holidays.People in different parts of the world also have different ideas about what is good to drink. Among the most popular hot drinks are coffee and tea. Coffee is very popular in northern Europe and in the Middle East. Some people put cream and sugar in their coffee. But in the United States, many people drink their coffee black that is without cream or sugar. Tea is the national drink in China, Japan, and other Oriental (东方的)countries. In the Orient, people drink tea without sugar. But in England, where it is also a national drink, many people use both sugar and hot or cold milk in their tea.41. People in different parts of the world _.A) cook the same food in different ways B)like the same kinds of food C)have the same ideas about foodsD)know how to prepare the same food42.
