Modern mass-production methods lower the cost of making goods, and thus give us better values. At the same time, American ingenuity(独创性)and science are constantly at work improving the quality of products. In this way, better quality products at good values are continually being brought to the people of all income groups.
As an example of how this worked, when facial tissues(面巾纸)were first put on the market in 1924, they were made in limited quantities and sold at 65 cents per box of 200. People liked these facial tissues immediately and began asking for them when they went into different stores. Because there was such a demand for the product, manufacturers began making tissues in larger and larger quantities. Because the manufacturers were making tissues in greater quantities, their production costs were lowered, so that the price of tissues went down. In the meanwhile, the quality of facial tissues was constantly improving, because more manufacturers went into the business of making tissues, and each manufacturer strove to make his product better than his competitors’. Today, instead of costing 65 cents, a box of 200 tissues costs around one-third of that price, and they are both softer and stronger.
When people are free to compete—when they are free to make more things and make them better—everyone benefits.
When the demand for facial tissues increased, ______.
选项
A、the supply was quickly exhausted
B、its price went up
C、the manufacturers tried to improve their quality
D、more manufacturers went into the business of making tissues
答案
D
解析
事实细节题。根据定位句,由于面巾纸的需求量增加,越来越多的厂商投入面巾纸的生产,故面巾纸的质量也在不断地提高。因此,最直接的结果是厂商增加,应选D。A项未提到,文中说供应有限(limited),未说供应枯竭,B项价格上涨,与原文意思正好相反。
