问题    What do we mean by a satisfactory standard of living? Obviously, it must include the basic necessities of life such as food, clothing and shelter. To get these necessities on regular basis, a person must have a reliable income. But we have other needs which would probably also be included as basic, such as health and education facilities.
   We may think of all of these as our needs. Yet most of us would be far from satisfied if we had nothing more than these which are supplied for us. We all enjoy extra income to spend on things like books, sports or hobbies. Sometimes we save some of this extra income to pay for future expense of this type on holidays. So we must add our wants to our basic needs. Our standard of living is the degree, to which these needs and wants are satisfied.
   But as time goes on, what we think of as our basic needs changes. Twenty years ago a television would have been a luxury, and still is in many countries now. Even now we cannot say it is a need in the same sense as food, clothing and shelter. Yet if most of the people of a country have one, it comes to be accepted as a need. It is possible therefore to have food, clothing and shelter and still be poor by the standards of our own society. [br] A person who gets the basic necessities must______according to the passage.
选项 A、have a reliable income
B、learn how to please his manager
C、finish his work ahead the time
D、get a good education
答案 A
解析 细节题。根据文章第一段第三句可知，为了定期获取这些基本的必需品，人们需要有稳定的收入，所以选项A(有稳定的收入)正确。选项B(学会如何取悦经理)、选项C(提前完成工作)和选项D(接受良好的教育)文中均未提及。故本题选A。
