六級英語考試閱讀練習題原文：

　　In a traditional society， production and consumption patterns are governed by tradition; every person‘s place within the economic system is fixed by parentage， religion， and custom. Transactions take place on the basis of tradition， too. People belonging to a certain group or caste may have an obligation to care for other persons， provide them with food and shelter， care for their health， and provide for their education.
