Passage14 By——申友Alice老师 In 1988 services moved ahead of manufacturing as the main product of the United States economy.//（第一层：1988年服务业超过制造业成为美国经济的主要产物） But （结构词，引出后文对服务业定义的对比）what is meant by “services”? Some economists define a service as something that is produced and consumed simultaneously, for example, （举例，第一遍读文时可略读）a haircut. The broader, classical definition is that a service is an intangible something that cannot be touched or stored. //（第二层：对于服务业，一些科学家的定义和传统的定义）Yet（结构词，表转折） electric utilities can store energy, and computer programmers save information electronically.Thus（结构词，表因果关系，引出作者得出的明确结论）, the classical definition is hard to sustain（负评价词）.//（第三层：明确提出结论，传统定义很难实行下去） The United States government’s definition is more practical（正评价词）: services are the residual category that includes everything that is not agriculture or industry. //（第一层：美国政府的定义更加实用：服务业包括除农业和工业外的所有范畴）Under this definition, services include activities as diverse as engineering and driving a bus.
