If you bought a car, it was a once-in-a-lifetime investment. You paid good money for the article and you looked after it. Nowadays industry has persuaded us that

23、 its products can only last a very short time. It is cheaper to throw them away than to repair them. This has led directly to the waste of the earth's resources. Just think of the cars that are traded in daily simply because they are “out of fashion.” Just think of the expensive packaging materi

24、al that is thrown away each time a new article is bought-material which we consumers must pay for! Our industrial society has turned us into spoilt children. It is this terrible wastefulness that has got us into the mess we are in now. When there are no resources left, we will start to look after wh

29、. It is in fact so big that it is often divided into departments. There are other differences between most grocery stores and supermarkets. In a supermarket, customers usually serve themselves, that is, they walk around the store and pick out the items they need. Also, in most supermarkets, customer

30、s are required to pay cash for what they buy. That is, they cannot buy on credit (赊购). A large supermarket is a big business. Although primarily selling food items, supermarkets also handle other lines of goods which include housewares, school supplies, garden supplies, phonograph records, beer, cam

31、era film and supplies, toothpaste, aspirin, nylon stockings, toys, clothing, magazines and even books. The supermarket tries to meet the housewifes every need so that when she leaves, shell shop nowhere else. In order to attract customers, the supermarkets have tried to make shopping as pleasant as

32、possible. Some of them have flowers and trees in the parking lots. Some have roofs over the walks that shoppers can walk from their cars to the store without having to worry about snow, rain or the hot sun. Ceilings are sometimes sound-proofed (隔音的), and music is piped in. Most of the supermarkets a

33、re air-conditioned (装有空调的). With these and other improvements, supermarkets are not limited to the United States. From Bangkok to Buenos Aires, the old-styled grocery stores are fast disappearing.

Things moved more slowly then. He could be sure that his job would still be needed forty years later. In th

39、ese days he could not be sure. There is so much change in factories, work and methods that what looks like a very good job now may not be needed in ten years. You have only to think of what the motor car did to people who bought and sold horses to realize what this can mean in human terms. Suddenly

40、no one wanted horses any more. The people who worked with them were suddenly without work, or redundant（被解雇的；多余的）as we say today. Methods change and skills become redundant. Redundancy is the biggest problem the working man has to face today. Some experts think that the working man of the future mus

41、t expect to learn three or four different skills in his working life. This is because, increasingly, automation (自动化) will take over or some trades will cease to be needed.

42、not stupid. Losing your job like this can cause problems for you: you may have to move to find work again; there may simply be no work that you can do.The British government recognizes that redundancy is not the fault of the man who is redundant. So today there is a system of payment to men who are

43、declared redundant. Any man who has worked in the same job for at least two years is given a payment by his employer when he becomes redundant. The longer he has had the job, the more he gets. This money is a kind of compensation (补偿) for being in the wrong job at the wrong time.66. A man becomes re
