Modern mass—production methods lower the cost of making goods, and thus give us better val

ues. At the same time ,American ingenuity(独创性) and science are constantly at work improving the quality of products. (79) In this way, better quality products at good values are continually being brought to the people of all income groups.

As an example of how this worked, when facial tissues (面巾纸) were first put on the market in 1924, they were made in limited quantities and sold at 65 cents per box of 200. People like these facial tissues immediately and began asking for them when they went into different stores. Because there was such a demand for the product, manufacturers began making tissues in larger and larger quantities. Because the manufacturers were making tissues in greater quantities, their production costs were lowered, so that the price of tissues went down. (80) In the meanwhile, the quality of facial tissues was constantly improving, because more manufacturers went into the business of making tissues, and each manufacturer strove to make his product better than his competitors’. Today, instead of costing 65 cents, a box of 200 tissues costs around one—third of that price, and they are both softer and stronger.

When people are free to compete—when they are free to make more things and make them better—everyone benefits.

In regard to the production of goods in greater quantities, the author states that ______.

A.the price of the goods should drop

B.the quality of the goods should improve

C.the price and the quality should both rise

D.the quality and the price should both drop

1. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way. 2. Since 1991, productivity has increased by 2% a year, which is more than twice the 1978-1987 average. 3. The trouble is that part of the recent acceleration is due to the usual rebound that occurs at this point in a business circle, so is not conclusive evidence of an economic revival in the underlying trend. 4. There is a disjunction between the mass of business anecdote that points to a leap in productivity and the picture reflected by the statistics.

Architecture

Architecture is to building as literature is to the printed worD.The best buildings are often so well constructed that they outlast their original use. They then survive not only as beautiful objects, but as documents of the history, of cultures. These achievements are never wholly the work of individuals. Architecture is a social art.

The renaissance brought about an entirely new age not only in philosophy and literature but in the visual arts as well. In architecture, the principles and styles of ancient Greece and Rome were brought back to life and reinterpreted, They remain dominant until the 20th century. Many kinds of stone are used as building materials. Stone and marble were chosen for important monuments because they are not burnable and can be expected to endure. Stone architecture was often blended with stone sculpture. The use of stone has declined now, because a number of other materials are more adaptable to industrial use. The complexity of modern life calls for a variety of buildings. More people live in mass housing and go to work in large office buildings; they spend their income in large shopping centers, send their children to many different kinds of schools, and when they are sick they go to specialized hospitals and clinics. All these different types of buildings accumulate experiences needed by their designers. By the middle of the 20th century, modern architecture, which was influenced by new technology and mass production, was dealing with increasingly complex social needs. Important characteristics of modern architectural works are expanses of glass and the use of reinforced concrete. Advances in elevator technology, air conditioning, and electric lighting have all bad important effects.

B.Need of greater building varieties in modern life

D.Evolution in style
