Am I suggesting that we should return to the preindustrial mode of production or to nineteenth-century "free enterprise" capitalism? Certainly not. Problems are never solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming our social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities-those of love and of reason-are the aims of all social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve only as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.

　　38. From the passage we can infer that real happiness of life belongs to those

　　[A] who are at the bottom of the society

　　[B] who are higher up in their social status

　　[C] who prove better than their fellow-competitors

　　[D] who could keep far away from this competitive world

　　[答案] D

　　[解题思路]

　　本题可以采取排除法。文章第二段谈到一般的工人和职员的焦虑，第三段则是关于社会高层的人的焦虑，可见他们都不拥有真正的幸福，可以排除A和B选项。而选项与文章第三段的最后一句话矛盾“This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better than one’ s fellow-competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness”(他们需要不断地证明自己与竞争对手同样优秀或者超过对手，从而不断地产生忧虑和压力，这正是不幸疾病的起因)，正是因为竞争才使得他们焦虑，因此C选项也可以排除。而D选项正好从反面来理解这句话，既然竞争带来忧虑，那么远离竞就可以使人们获得幸福生活。
