[单选] 回答题
Human needs seem endless.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 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 "life-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 medical 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 community 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 good things on the first four levels.
According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when________
A . he has saved up enough money
B . he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter

雅宝题库解析:
【原文大意】
人类的需求似乎是无止境的。它可分为几个等级。当有足够的钱满足一个等级后,下个等级就会出现在眼前。
第一个也是最基本的等级是食物。一旦这个等级得到满足,对衣物和某种遮蔽之所的需求,
也就是第二等级就出现了。第二次世界大战末,人们对这些的需求也满足了。然后是第三等级,包括汽车、房子。
到1957年或l958年时,第三个等级也满足了。20世纪50年代末,第四个等级:“生活富裕”出现了。如果说前三个等级是吃饱、舒适、安全、交通这些物质方面的满足的话,第四个等级就是认可、成就、幸福这些精神上的满足。它包括不同的物质和服务,如假期旅行、最好的医疗和牙医、娱乐等。还包括最别致的物品、最时尚的服装。
在第四个等级时,人们把大量的钱都花在了服务上,而前几个等级是花在商品上。
第五个等级的需求恐怕只有通过团体才能实现了。消费者会给政府付更多的税以抵御疾病、文盲、犯罪、歧视等。在填满了我们的肠胃,丰富了我们的衣柜、更新了我们车库、修整了我们的牙齿、愉悦了我们的精神之后,我们现在所追求的是能够健康、安全、轻松地享受前四个等级的需求。
