I have received many Christmas gifts over the years. The best gift I ever received was presented to me by a stranger. I never even knew his name and I only had contact with him for less than 60 seconds. His Christmas present to me changed the way I think about people and about Christmas.

I hate Black Friday sales. It’s often a gathering of people who are there for many different reasons. Some are looking for a deal on that one item for their loved one, or perhaps themselves. Their purposes completely have nothing to do with the festive time of year, and can just be summed up with one word, “Cheap!”

It was several years ago when my wife asked me to meet her at the local department store on Black Friday morning. They had advertised a child’s bike that she wanted to purchase for our son. We stood with a very large crowd, waiting for the manager to blow the whistle(口哨). I told my wife that if we got a bike, fine, but if we did not, I was OK with that too.

As the number of bikes began to gradually decrease, I saw my “polite” opportunity to reach my hands around the corner of one of the boxes. I lifted it and suddenly felt some mild resistance(阻力). I looked up to see one of the largest gentlemen I had ever seen in my life. Frightening was not the word to describe his appearance. He was wearing lots of straps of metal spiked leather(带有柳钉的皮带) around both arms and even his neck. Still, tattoos(纹身) were an obvious love of his.

I started to return the box but he gently pushed it back in my direction and back into my hands. He then directed it into my shopping cart. He looked at me, smiled, and said, “Merry Christmas.” All the way home I was thinking that this moment was by far the best Christmas gift I had ever received. The kindness of a stranger that broke all prejudice(偏见) I may have had of certain types of people. The softness of a human heart can be seen in a simple act. I will never forget it.

1.What may be the best title of the passage?

A. The Best Christmas Gift.

B. A Child’s Bike.

C. Black Friday Sales.

D. A Handsome Stranger.

2.Why do many people go to Black Friday sales?

A. Because they can make money.

B. Because they hope to find a bargain.

C. Because it’s a way to celebrate Christmas.

D. Because it’s a place to get things free of charge.

3.What does the underlined word “purchase” mean in Paragraph 3?

A. devote

B. solve

C. buy

D. save

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A. All roads lead to Rome.

B. It’s never too old to study.

C. You cannot clap with one hand.

D. Men cannot be judged by their appearances

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.

1.According to the passage, which of the following is not a typical feature of the middle class?

A. Desiring for security.

B. Making long-term plans.

C. Having vision for the future.

D. Saving money.

2.The author seems to suggest that the description of ________________ is closer to truth.

A. middle-class ways of spending money

B. working class ways of spending the weekend

C. working class drinking habits

D. middle-class attitudes

3.Working class people’s sense of security increased as a result of all the following factors except _______________.

A. better social security　　 B. more administration

C. higher self-confidence　　 D. less income inequality

4.Which of the following statements is incorrect?

A. Changes are slowly taking place in all sectors of the British society.

B. The gap between working class and middle class young people is narrowing.

C. Difference in income will remain but those in occupation will disappear.

D. Middle-class people may sometimes feel inferior to working class people.
