3．Most people make a donation if they want to help those in need．And they hope that if they join demonstrations or hand out leaflets，they'll make others aware of the terrible conditions some people face．But 47-year-old British comedian，Eddie Izzard，did something completely different．He decided to raise money by running 1，100 miles through England，Wales，Northern Ireland and Scotland．And he managed to raise more than£200，000!
    How long did it take him to run 1，100 miles？Believe it or not，it took him just 51 days．For six days out of every seven he ran at least 26 miles．In other words，he ran 43 marathons in less than two months，before he finished in great style and pouring rain in London's Trafalgar Square!
    When asked how he felt，he told the BBC that he was planning to"sleep for a week"．He thanked the people who had waited for him in Trafalgar Square despite the rain．They had all come to support him and to applaud his incredible achievement．
    And the comedian admitted that his journey was pretty painful．He had to have his feet bandaged every day but still lost several of his toenails，and he had blisters （水泡）all over his feet．He wouldn't have been able to do what he did if he hadn't taken ice baths for his legs at the end of each day．These baths helped to"stop your legs inflating to twice the size of an elephant"，as Eddie commented．
    People who have no idea about running and experts alike are impressed with what he has achieved．Andy Dixon，editor of Runner's World，a magazine for long-distance runners，says，"Covering 26 miles in a day at whatever speed for 43 runs，it's demanding．A five-hour marathon is fairly decent pace．It's a massive achievement．
So，how did he do it？Well，when he decided to run，he wasn't even particularly fit．He ran his marathons slowly at first．Ten hours a day to begin with and，as he got fitter，he got faster．In the end he was finishing in just over five hours．But fitness alone was not enough．What was more important was the fact that he wanted to make a difference to other people's lives．
    What Eddie Izzard did was so special that the documentary of his run has been made into an inspiring film：Believe!"You've got to believe you can be something else，"Eddie says in the film．"I've done that a few times．That's why I keep going．"

1．According to sociologists（社会学家），every modern industrial society has some form of social stratification（阶层）．Class，power and status are important in deciding people's rank in society．
Class means a person's economic position in society．A commonly used classification is lower class，middle class and upper class．While sociologists disagree on how these terms should be exactly defined，they do describe societies like the United States quite well．One study shows that 53% of Americans belong to the lower class，46% the middle class，and 1% the upper class．Interestingly，a surgeon earning＄500，000a year and a bus driver earning＄50，000a year both regard themselves as the middle class!
Power refers to the amount of control a person has over other people．Obviously，people in positions of great power （such as governors） exercise（行使）big power，but people who take orders from others have less power．Power and class do not always go hand in hand，however．For example，the governor of a state has great power，but he or she may not belong to a corresponding （相应的）economic class．Generally，however，there is a relationship between power and class．
To our knowledge，there aren't too many people who aren't millionaires in the U．S．Senate!
Status is the honor or respect attached to a person's position in society．It can also be affected by power and class，but not necessarily so．For example，a university professor may have a high status but not belong to a high social class or have a lot of power over others．
54．What can we learn about"the middle class"from Paragraph 2？B
A．People earning＄50，000a year belong to the middle class．
B．Nearly half Americans belong to the middle class．
C．People generally consider bus drivers as the middle class．
D．Sociologists have a clear definition of the middle class．
55．According to the text，we know thatA．
A．power and class do not always correspond with each other
B．status refers to a person's economic position in society
C．people with high status have a lot of control over others
D．class is less important in deciding a person's social rank
