In 1988 services moved ahead of manufacturing as the main product of the United States economy. But what is meant by "services"? Some economists define a service as something (5)that is produced and consumed simultaneously, for example, a haircut. The broader, classical definition is that a service is an intangible something that cannot be touched or stored. Yet electric utilities can store energy, and computer programmers (10) save information electronically. Thus, the classical definition is hard to sustain. The United States government's definition is more practical: services are the residual category that includes everything that is not agriculture or (15) industry. Under this definition, services includes activities as diverse as engineering and driving a bus. However, besides lacking a strong conceptual framework, this definition fails to recognize the distinction between service industries and service (20) occupations. It categorizes workers based on their company's final product rather than on the actual work the employees perform. Thus, the many service workers employed by manufacturers— bookkeepers or janitors, for example—would (25) fall under the industrial rather than the services category. Such ambiguities reveal the arbitrariness of this definition and suggest that, although practical for government purposes, it does not accurately reflect the composition of the current (30) United States economy.
Q31 Main idea （主旨题） 作者想要的探索一个concept --- service 其余几个要不就是没有提到，要不就是已经 Q32 Inference 作者对于classical definition的态度是什么 原文中给出了this definition is hard to sustain Thus we choose moredifficult to apply Q33 inference Under thedefinition of services in US government, many services occupancies are belongedto industries. 因此人数可能会减少，政府census的时候判断出现错误。 其他的选项都没有提及 Q34 supportingideas 政府定义的缺点-定义缺点（无法区分工作种类） It categorizesworkers based on their company’s final product rather than on the actual workthe employees perform D是一个混淆选项，但是选项中的diversity并没有被提及 Q35 Logical structure 问的是文中的一个例子起到什么作用 起到的目的是support the concern in the government’s definition of service A中指出unclassified，但其实是misclassified(misleading)
