Part two Reading
1. Reading skills: 2. 归纳论证
归纳论证议论文是一种由个别到一般的论证方法。它通过许多个别的事例或者分论点，归纳出他们所共有的特性，从而得出一个一般性的结论。归纳法一般先举例，然后通过事例再归纳出结论。阅读此类文章时要特别注意文章的结尾段，因为尾段是对前面所举事例和分论点的归纳和概括。抓住了尾段也就把握了文章的主题。然后再结合作为论据的诸多事例和理由以及他们和观点（结论）之间的内在联系来理解文章的结构。
EG. In his 1930 essay “Economic possibilities for Our Grandchildren” , John Keynes, a famous economist, wrote that human needs fall into two classes: absolute needs, which are independent of what others have, and relative needs, which make us feel superiority. He thought that although relative needs may indeed be insatiable(无止境的), this is not true of absolute needs.
Keynes was surely correct that only a small part of total spending is decided by the desire for superiority. He was greatly mistaken, however, in seeing this desire as the only source of insatiable demands.
Decisions to spend are also driven by ideas of quality which can influence the demands for almost all goods, including even basic goods like food. When a couple goes out for an anniversary dinner, for example, the thought of feeling superior to others probably never comes to them. Their goal is to share a special meal that stands out from other meals.
There are no obvious limits to the escalation of demand for quality. For example, Porsche, a famous car producer, has a model which was considered perhaps the best sport car on the market priced at over $120,000, it handles perfectly well and has
great speed acceleration. But in 2004, the producer introduced some changes which made the model slightly better in handling and acceleration. People who really care about cars find these small improvements exciting. To get them, however, they must pay almost four times the price.
By placing the desire to be superior to others at the heart of his description of insatiable demands, Keynes actually reduced such demands. However, the desire for higher quality has no natural limits.
