A public good is one that a person can use without reducing the use of it for another person. One of the best example of a public good is national defense. One person can benefit form. our national defense without reducing another person's benefits. In fact, it is difficult to keep any person in our society from enjoying the benefits of national defense.
The market system does not work well in producing public goods. This is because a person who refuses to pay for a public good cannot be kept from using it. Suppose that the neighbors in a high crime area decide to hire a police force. Each neighbor, except Mrs. Smith, agrees to pay $100 a year for it. Mrs. Smith refuses to pay because she knows that if all the others pay the $100, the police will guard the area anyway. So Mrs. Smith can enjoy the services of the police force without paying $100.
The market system has no way to deal with this type of problem. For this reason, we cannot ask each person to make a direct payment in the form. of product price. Therefore, we collect money for public goods by using taxes.
According to the passage, public goods are______.
A.services enjoyed by all people
B.what we can buy and sell in public
C.products that we make for national defense
D.taxes paid by the people involved

The tragic impact of the modern city on the human being has killed his sense of aesthetics, the material benefits of a wealthy society have diverted his attention from his city and its cultural potentials to the products of science and technology: washing machines, central heating, TV sets, computers and cars.
He is a car driver and reluctant to walk. Without adequate parking facilities, the streets are littered with cars. Congestion (堵塞) has become the predominant factor in his environment, and statistics suggest that two cars per household may make matters worse.
Meanwhile, insult is added to injury by "land value". The value of land results from its use. When its use is intensified, its value rises. "Putting land to its highest and best use" becomes the principal economic standard in urban growth. This speculative approach and the pressure of increasing population leads to the "vertical" growth of cities with the result that people are forced to adjust themselves to congestion to maintain these relatively artificial land values. Paradoxically the remedy for removing congestion is to create more of it. Partial decentralization in the form. of large development units away from the traditional town centers only shifts the disease of congestion round the town center.
It is within our power to build better cities and revive the pride of their citizens, but we shall have to stop operating on the fringe of the problem. We shall have radically to re-plan them to achieve a rational density of population. We shall have to provide them what can be called minimum "psychological elbow room". One of the ingredients of this will be proper transportation plans. These will have to be an integral part of the overall planning process which in itself is a scientific process where facts are essential. We must collect all and complete information about the city or the town, if we want to plan effectively.
We must not forget that cities are built by people, and that their form. and shape should be subject to the will of the people. Scientific methods of data collection and analysis will indicate trends, but they will not direct action. Scientific methods are only an instrument. The "man-educated" man, the human, will have to set the target, and using the results obtained by science, take upon himself the final shaping of his environment. He will have to use his moral sense of responsibility to the community and future generations.
The main concern of the passage is with ______ .
A.city congestion
B.city planning
C.decentralization
D.land values in cities
First, we would like to recap our discussion with you regarding market position of "Peony" brand toilet rolls in Pakistan. We explained to you in detail about the problems faced by dealers in marketing the above item. Your delegation also had the opportunity to personally listen to the comments of individual dealers. We now summarize the market position as follows. Toilet paper is not used by a majority of the population of our country. In fact, it is not customary to use toilet paper for domestic purposes. Consumption of this product is mostly limited to hotels, restaurants, some offices, and a very small fraction of private households.
Having said that, there is a still bigger problem which has to be solved in order to maximize sales. Your corporation ships the goods from Qingdao mostly on transshipment vessels via Hong Kong and Singapore. Due to the limitations of this shipping method, the goods usually arrive here four or five months after shipment from Qingdao. A recent example is a lot of 285 cartons that was shipped to us on vessel "Yatlung" from Qingdao on 19 November 1978. These goods actually reached us near the end of April 1979, over five months after the shipment was originally made. We have enclosed herewith copies of the shipping documents showing this fact.
In view of this problem, we urge you to begin shipping your goods on direct vessels or with shipping companies that offer express service, so that dealers can repeat their orders after receipt of a consignment(交货), and we can sell more of your product in Pakistan.
Meanwhile, thank you for your attention and we wish to assure you of our usual best attention and efforts in facilitating and encouraging sales of "Peony" toiletpaper in Pakistan.
What is the letter about?
It's about problems with sales of ______ in Pakistan.
