SECOND TERM EXAM CLASS :3 ASS
A-Read the text carefully then answer the given questions.

Consumption in modern societies
Today,
everywhere in the world, people have developed a new attitude towards
the act of buying .The fact that markets are filled with all sorts of
goods encourages everyone to engage in the purchase of a large variety
of items .Some of these are essential either because they contribute for
our biological survival like food and medicine or because they play an
important part in protecting our mental balance like songs and books.
But
next to such vital things we find numerous elements which we feel
obliged to acquire although they do not have any determining role in our
existence. It is in this case with fashion clothes, paintings, objects
of decoration, specially designed furniture, jewels and make up
products. We can also integrate in the same category the electronic
devices that equip modern houses. The list still includes cameras,
phone-mobiles, silver dishes, gold watches, sun –glasses, sport cars,
pleasure boats and a multitude of the articles which we buy just because
they are accessible in markets.
All these items do not add much to
the basic needs of our species. Yet, all of us are eager to get them
provided we have the means to do so. They are gradually incorporated in
our life and form an important aspect of it. Initially, their production
had no other aim than to provide a source of income for their creators
.Now, they have brought an additional feature to our life –style and
participate in shaping our personality to some extent .We are unable to
abandon their use for the simple reason that such an attitude will
expose us to severe criticism from our fellows who will think that we no
longer belong to modernity and civilisation.
