There is probably no field of human activity in which our values and lifestyles are shown more clearly and strongly than they are in the clothes that we choose to wear.The dress of an individual is a kind of “sign language” that communicates a set of information and is usually the basis on which immediate impressions are formed.Traditionally, a concern for clothes was considered to be an affair of females,while men took pride in the fact that they were completely lacking clothes consciousness.

   This type of American culture is gradually changing as man’s dress takes on greater variety  and color.Even as early as 1955,a research in Michigan said that men considered that the value of clothing in daily life was very important.White—collar workers in particular viewed dress as a symbol of ability,which could be used to impress or influence others,especially in the work situation.The white-collar worker was described as extremely concerned about the impression his clothing made on his boss.Although blue-collar workers were less aware that they might be judged on the basis of their clothing,they recognized that any difference from the accepted pattern of  dress would be made fun of by fellow workers.

   Since that time,of course,the patterns have changed,the typical white-collar worker may now be wearing the blue shirt,while the blue-collar may be wearing a white shirt,but the importance of dress has not become less. Other researchers in recent years have helped to prove its importance in the lives of individuals at various age levels and in different social and economic status groups.

1.The passage tells us that       .

  A.our values and lifestyles are in no field of human activity

  B.the clothes that we choose to wear have something to do with our values and lifestyles

 C.our values and lifestyles are from the sign language

  D.the clothes we choose to wear depend on a set of information and immediate impression

2.Traditionally,people usually thought that       .

  A.men cared very much for clothes

  B.neither men nor women showed interest in clothes

  C.both men and women paid great attention to their clothes

  D.women concerned greatly about what they wore while men didn’t

3.White-collar workers pay great attention to their clothes because       

  A.they extremely concern about the impression their clothes make on their bosses

  B.they know that people might judge them on the basis of their clothes

  C.they want to impress and influence others

  D.they don’t want to be laughed at

4.What does the underlined word“status”in the last paragraph mean?

  A.雕塑        B.身份        C.状况         D.资格

Members of the working class have blue-collar jobs. They are construction workers, truck drivers, mechanican, steel workers, electricians, and the like. What makes this class differ from the lower class is, first, longer periods of employment—and therefore, more fixed incomes—and , second, employment in skilled or semi-skilled occupations, not unskilled ones. Although unemployment hits all levels of the American economy, including those of skilled and semi-skilled workers, it is most common at the bottom of the class structure and increasingly less common at each level upward. They consider themselves to be respectable and hard-working and they look down upon members of the “low” class, whom they often consider to be lazy, dishonest, and too ready to exploit public assistance.

Most people in the working class have at least high school education. Many have some experience of college(especially community college), though few are college graduates. Unionization has helped the working class, but a rapidly changing economy and frequent periods of high unemployment make it difficult for most of its members to be able to increase their savings greatly. Purchasing a house for people in this class is extremely difficult, although a certain percentage may receive houses from their parents. (Home-owning rises with social class.)

A greater number of the members of the working class take relatively little satisfaction in their jobs, because much of their work is ordinary and boring. As a result, many seek their main satisfaction in recreational activities. Many members of this class would like to earn enough money to leave their jobs and start their own businesses, though few make it. Many place their expectations on their children, hoping that they at least will rise in the ladder of success.

1. Which of the following is true about the working class?

A.They are often offered jobs with high incomes.

B.They are employed as skilled and semi-skilled workers.

C.They are often considered lazy and dishonest.

D.They are often exploited by the public.

2. The word “hit” in paragraph one roughly means__________.

A.have bad effects on

B.break up

C.beat

D.strike with a blow

3. Most people in the working class ________.

A.have at least some experience of college

B.receive houses from their parents

C.buy houses by themselves

D.have difficulty increasing their savings greatly

4. Many members from the working class are not satisfied with their jobs because _____.

A.they are not interested in their jobs.

B.they could not earn much money

C.they are not their own bosses

D.they could not rise in the ladder of success
