单选题 Investment in the public sector, such as electricity, irrigation, quarrying, public services and transport (excluding vehicles, ships and planes) increased by about 10%, although the emphasis moved to transport and away from the other sectors mentioned. Trade and services recorded a 16 --17 % investment growth, including a 30% increase in investment in business premises. Industrial investment is estimated to have risen by 8%. Although the share of agriculture in total gross investment in the economy continued to decline, investment grew by 9% in absolute terms, largely spurred on by a 23% expansion of investment in agricultural equipment. Housing construction had 12% more invested in it in 1964, not so much owing to increased demand, as to fears of impending new taxes and limitation of building. Total consumption in real terms rose by close on 11% during 1964, and per capita personal consumption by under 7%, as in 1963. The undesirable trend towards a rapid rise in consumption, evident in previous years, remained unaltered. Since at current prices consumption rose by 16% and disposable income by 13%, there was evidently a fall in the rate of saving in the private sector of the economy. Once again consumption patterns indicated a swift advance in the standard of living. Expenditure on food, especially bread and staple items, declined in significance, although consumption of fruit increased. Outlay on furniture and household equipment, health, eduction and recreation continued to increase. The greatest proof of altered living standards was the rapid expansion of expenditure on transport (including private cars) and personal services of all kinds, which occurred during 1964. The progressive affluence of large sectors of the public was demonstrated by the changing composition of durable goods purchased. Saturation point was rapidly being approached for items such as the first household radio, gas cookers, and electric refrigerators, whereas increasing purchases of automobiles and television sets were registered.

单选题The days when the only fender a businessman needed to stave off a midlife crisis was on the end of a Ferrari are gone. This year he needs to dig deep and purchase the Fender Jazz Bass he dreamed of as an acne-ridden youth. Guitars have seen a massive resurgence in the past few years, propping up the music retail industry and overtaking the keyboard. Sales of electric guitars have jumped 30 per cent in two years, bass guitars 11 per cent in the past 12 months. Barry Moorhouse, whose bass and acoustic centre, House of Guitars, has long been a Mecca for rock stars, recognized the trend and relocated his business to Bmne Street on the edge of the city. The wisdom of the move was evident at the new shop's opening when insurance brokers and IT consultants appeared at his door like disciples drawn to a shrine. Silently they stood eyeing the gleaming rainbow of guitars-angular or curvaceous, simple or ostentatious. Charlie Pearch, 46, a customer, explained: "I'm having a midlife crisis. First I bought a Harley Davidson and then I thought I would learn to play the guitar. My wife thinks it's better to have a motorbike and play the guitar than chase young girls." Seven months ago, Mr. Pearch went into a guitar shop to avoid the rain. A short while later he left with a pounds 800 Fender Stratocaster. Mr. Moorhouse, 49, believes the generation that grew up with guitar bands is now intent on recapturing its youth, with the added bonus that a father can share his interest with his son. "Nowadays they can indulge that passion because they have the disposable income," Mr. Moorhouse said. "I get fathers and sons in here who listen to the same music." Brightly lit and gleaming, the new shop is a far cry from what one might expect of a music lover's haunt. Mr. Moorhouse has already endured accusations of "guitars at Gap" from his more tradition-al clientele. But when your customers are spending pounds 1,000 or more on an instrument they do not expect grange, he explained. And these guitars are not just toys for the boys. City bankers can expect a good in-vestment return from their instruments. Nine years ago Barry McCormack, an IT project manager, spent pounds 400 on a 1955 Gibson Les Paul. It is now worth pounds 5,000. Mr McCormack said: "People like me are recapturing their youth but they are also buying these guitars as an alternative investment to a pension./
