It sometimes means to make a calculation (计算) about the future, which is based not on exact data but on past ex
16、perience. This kind of estimate has some basis, but it generally has to be changed and corrected later.When you estimate a number, a size, a temperature or a weight, you do not count things one by one or use a measuring tool. You look at a group of things without counting them and try to get a rough
17、, general idea of their number, you try to weigh something in your hand instead of on a balance. You feel hot and say My temperature must be 38 degrees or you look at a room and say that you estimate its area as 10X8 feet.But in many situations in ordinary life we do not have time to measure things
18、and must depend on estimates. Drivers do not have time to measure the distance between their own car and a car which is coming near. They must guess it; the guess or estimate will be based on their past experience Experienced cooks do not trouble to measure the amount of salt they put into the soup
19、or sugar they mix with flour.Suppose a man comes into the house and says There are two inches of snow on the road, his statement is only an estimate, but we believe it because we think that it is roughly correct. We put our boots on before we go into the snow.For practical purposes in some situation
20、s it is safe to make estimates of quantity, but in other situations it is obviously dangerous. If it is your job to weigh drugs or make airplanes, do not depend on guessing but use an accurate instrument.36.

24、 visions of country clubs and pleasure boats dance into view.The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.The first and most basic level of wants involves(包括) food. Once this want is satisfied
25、, a second level of wants appears; clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as cars and new houses.By 1957 or 1958 the third level of wants was fairly well satisfied
26、. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the life-enriching level. While the other levels involve physical satisfactionthe feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human bodythese levels stress mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a vari
27、ety of goods and services, many of which could be called luxury items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and entertainment. Also included fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.On the fourth level, a greater percentage of customers spending goes to services, whi
28、le on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will customers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increase, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by commun
29、ity action. Customers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance (无知), crime, and prejudice.
