Ideas about social class-whether a person is "working-class"or "middle-class"-are one area in which changes
have been extremely slow.
In the past, the working-class terlded to be paid less than middle-class people. The typical working man
would collect his wages on Friday evening and then, as was widely believed, having given his wife her
"housekeeping",would go out and spend the rest on beer and betting.
The old style of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. He was likely
to take a longer-term view. Not only did he regard buying a house as a most important thing, but he also
considered the education of his children as extremely important. 2_____. Only in very few cases did workers
have the opportunity to make such long-ten plans.
3_____. In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much as their middle-class supervisors (管理
者). Social security and laws to improve job-security have made it less necessary than before to worry about
"tomorrow". Working-class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority (自卑感). In fact there
has been a growing tendency in the past few yars for the middle-classes to feel slightly ashamed of their
position.
4_____. They generally tend to share very similar tastes in music and clothes, they spend their money in
having a good time, and save for holidays or longer-term plans when necessary. There seems to be much less
difference than in previous generations. 5_____. As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility
that new conflicts will appear, or rather that the old conflicts will reappear, but between different groups.
B. Both of these provided him and his family with security
C. As a result, differences in life-styles and attitudes came into existence
D. However, we still have a wide gap between the well-paid and the low-paid
E. In recent years, the working-class people have begun to design long-tem plans
F. In some ways, however, very little has changed,particularly where attitudes are concerned
G. The changes in both lifehstyles and attitudes are probably most easily seen amongst younger people

website. 1_____ Your website is an electronic meeting place for your family, friends and potentially, millions
of people around the world. Best of all, you may not have to spend a cent. The web is filled with all kinds of
free services and all it takes is some time and creativity.
2_____ Like the table of contents of a book or magazine, the home page is the front door. Your site can
have one or more pages, depending on how you design it.

计). At the top of the page is a banner (横幅). Next comes a greeting and short description of the site.
Pictures, text, and links to other websites follow.
3_____ Think about whom the site is for and what you want to say. Next, gather up the material that you
want to put on the site.

too much at the beginning, you may never get the site off the ground. You can always add to your site.

Smaller is better. Since it can take"a long time to download large files, keep the file sizes small.

| Internet dating has become one of the biggest and most successful business ventures on the Internet. Basically, Internet dating is a way to meet people for either friendship or dating without actually having to meet them in person first. The first thing to do if you decide to try Internet dating is to build your profile (简介) which can include your hobbies, hopes for the future, and so on. A photograph is optional, but many sites claim that a photograph increases the number of people who look at your profile. Many Internet dating sites will charge a one-time registration fee to use their services. Internet dating makes it possible to meet people from all over the world. You can even narrow the search down to your area by zip code. Another advantage is that you can communicate by email before you meet in person. Thousands of people have met, fallen in love, and married through Internet dating. It is an excellent way for shy people to meet. It is also a way for people with busy lives to connect with others, and an easy way to meet people who share your interests. Just as in conventional dating and love, there are some pitfalls to be aware of in Internet dating. The person you have been talking to on the net may not be who they say they are. Be very aware that there are some people who misrepresent their appearance or private details, such as marital status, income, and so on, for their own reasons. It would not be the first time that someone has been taken in, and talk shows are full of cheating partners who have been caught dating over the Internet in their spare time. Nevertheless, taking a few simple precautions should help ensure that your Internet dating experience is fun. | |
