Opinion surveys in the worlds two largest economies-Japan and the United States-show consumerist definitions of success becoming ever more prevalent.Over-consumption by the worlds fortunate is an environ
38、mental problem unmatched in severity by anything but perhaps population growth. Their surging exploitation of resources threatens to exhaust or unalterably spoil forests, soils, water, air and climate.Ironically, high consumption may be a mixed blessing in human terms, too. The time-honored values o
39、f integrity of character, good work, friendship, family and community have often been sacrificed in the rush to riches.Thus many in the industrial lands have a sense that their world of plenty is somehow hollow-that, misled by a consumerist culture, they have been fruitlessly attempting to satisfy w
40、hat are essentially social, psychological and spiritual needs with material things.Of course, the opposite of over-consumption-poverty-is no solution to either environmental or human problems.

44、xisted between production and consumptionD.the concept that ones success is measured by how much they consume(3).Why does the author say high consumption is a mixed blessing?（分数：1.00）A.Because poverty still exists in an affluent society.B.Because moral values are sacrificed in pursuit of material sa
45、tisfaction.C.Because over-consumption wont last long due to unrestricted population growth.D.Because traditional rituals are often neglected in the process of modernization.(4).According to the passage, consumerist culture _.（分数：1.00）A.cannot thrive on a fragile economyB.will not aggravate environme
