Over the last 25 years, British society has changed a great deal – or at least many parts of it have.  1. . 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 tended to be paid less than middle-class people. The typical working man would collect his wages on Friday evening and then, it was widely believed, having given his wife her "housekeeping", would go out and squander（挥霍） 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-and still is-inclined (有意) 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 （or the education and training） to make such long-term plans.

　　 3.  . In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much as their middle – class supervisors (管理者). Improved social security and laws 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 years 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 precious generations.  5.   . As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility that new conflicts and jealousies will emerge, or rather that the old conflicts will re-appear, but between different groups.

    A. Nowadays, a great deal has changed

    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 – term plans

    F. In some ways, however, very little has changed, particularly where attitudes are concerned

    G. The changes in both life–styles and attitudes are probably most easily seen amongst younger people

　  The old man walked with a cane(拐杖) slowly into the restaurant. His poor jacket, patched (打补丁的) trousers, and worn-out shoes made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd. Unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that were bright like diamonds, large rosy cheeks, and thin lips held in a smile.

He walked toward a table by the window. A young waitress watched him and ran over to him, saying, “Here, Sir. Let me give you a hand with that chair.”

Without a word, he smiled and nodded a thank you. She pulled the chair away from the table. Steadying(稳住) him with one arm, she helped him move in front of the chair, and get comfortably seated. Then she pushed the table up close to him, and leaned his cane against the table where he could reach it.

In a soft, clear voice he said, “Thank you, Miss.”

“You are welcome, Sir.” She replied. “My name is Mary. I’ll be back in a moment. If you need anything, just wave at me!”

After he had finished a hearty meal of pancakes, bacon, and hot lemon tea, Mary brought him the change, helping him up from his chair and out from behind the table. She handed him his cane, and walked with him to the front door. Holding the door open for him, she said, “Come back and see us, Sir!”

He nodded a thank you and said softly with a smile, “You are very kind!”

When Mary went to clean his table, she was surprised. Under his plate she found a business card and a note written on the napkin, under which was a $100 bill.

The note on the napkin read, “Dear Mary, I respect you very much, and you respect yourself, too. It shows by the way you treat others. You have found the secret of happiness. Your kind gestures will shine through those who meet you.”

The man she had served was the owner of the restaurant. This was the first time that she, or any of his employees, had seen him in person(亲自).

71. The relationship between the old man and Mary was ______. 

A. father and daughter                B. employer and employee

C. waiter and customer                         D. uncle and nephew

72. Based on the passage, all of the following words can be used to describe Mary except _____.

A. kind       B. considerate       C. helpful       D. calm

73. Mary ran over to the old man because _______.

A. the old man was the boss of the restaurant

B. she saw the old man had some difficulty moving and taking a seat

C. she was worried that the old man might cause trouble to the restaurant

D. the old man had asked her to wait on him

74. The man came to the restaurant _______.

A. to have breakfast

B. to see his employees

C. to find out how his restaurant was working

D. to see how Mary served customers

75. The words the man left on the napkin indicated that _______.

A. respecting others means respecting oneself

B. serving others is a respectable job

C. Mary would get a rise as a result of her kindness

D. Mary’s kind service would bring in more money for her
