单选题 Public goods are those commodities from whose enjoyment nobody can be effectively excluded. Everybody is free to enjoy the benefits of these commodities, and one person' s utilization does not reduce the possibilities of anybody else' s enjoying the same good. Examples of public goods are not as rare as one might expect. A flood control dam is public goods. Once the dam is built, all persons living in the area will benefit—irrespective of their own contribution to the construction cost of the dam. The same holds true for highway signs or aids to navigation. Once a lighthouse is built, no ship of any nationality can be effectively excluded from the utilization of the light house for navigational purposes. National defense is another example. Even a person who voted against military expenditures or did not pay any taxes will benefit from the protection afforded. It is no easy task to determine the social costs and social benefits associated with public goods. There is no practicable way of charging drivers for looking at highway signs, sailors for watching a lighthouse, and citizens for the security provided to them through national defense. Because the market does not provide the necessary signals, economic analysis has to be substituted for the impersonal judgement of the marketplace.

Do we want to 26 ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are 27 enough—and that's right. But at some point we need to 28 that our expectations are the same as our friends' expectations. The sharing of 29 experience including our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it must be undertaken 30 and carried on only if there are 31 of interest and action in return. What are some of the 32 of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships 33 time. Another 'major difficulty' is the selfishness to think one 'possesses' the other, including his time and attention. So, friendships 34 actions in return, in other words, you must give as much as you take. Finally there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend 35 time together, talking on the phone, writing letters doing things together, friend-ships will die away.
