To its owner, a middle-aged lady wearing a fur coat, he said gently, “Excuse me, madam, but may I sit down here?”He repeated the request three times to the woman who turned a deaf ear to him. But she only turned the pages of her newspaper. Then he opened the window, picked up the dog, and threw it out before he sat down on the empty seat.There was a dumbfounded silence, and then an Engl ishman sitting opposite said, “You Yankees seem never to do a right thing. You drive on the wrong side of the road; you eat with the fork in the wrong hand; you name the floors in the wrong numbers. And now you have just thrown the wrong one out of the window!”Choose A for T and B for F.41.The young American was traveling in a foreign country.42.When he got on the train, there was no empty seat.43. After repeating his request for several times, he found the owner of the dog was a deaf.44. Since the American was not polite enough, the middle-aged lady refused togive the seat to him.45. What the Englishman said meant he thought the American did quite right.(B)Over the last 25 years, British society has changed a great deal or at least many parts of it have. In some ways, however, very little has changed, particularly where attitudes are concerned. 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, such as teachers and doctors. As a result of this and also of the fact that workers’ jobs were generally much less secure, evident differences in lifestyles and attitudes came into existence. 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 stereotype (模式化的思想) of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. He was --- and still is --- tended 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. Both of these provided him and his family with security. Only in very few cases did workers have the opportunity ( or the education and training ) to make such long-term plans. Nowadays, a great deal has changed. In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much, if not more, than their middle-class administrators. 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）they had in the past. In fact there has been a growing tendency in the past few years for the middle classes to feel slightly ashamed of their position.The changes in both lifestyles and attitudes are probably most easily seen among younger people. 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. Nevertheless, we still have a wide gap between the well-paid (whatever the type of job they may have) and the low-paid. As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility that new conflicts and jealousies will arise, or rather that the old conflicts will re-appear, but between different groups.46. Which of the following is seen as the main cause of class differences in the past?A. Life style and occupation.B. Attitude and income.C. Income and job security.D. Job security and hobbies.47. The writer seems to suggest that .A. the description of middle-class ways of spending money is quite realB. working-class ways of spending the weekend remain the sameC. working-class drinking habits differ from the pastD. middle-class attitudes towards their positions have changed greatly48.
