根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

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

  War, money and power are a few things that countries and people are concerned about.  1  I agree that those things are important, I believe that everyone should start to  2  more on a growing problem-global warming.

  Global warming will not only  3  our country and our generation, but also the entire  4  and future generations.It is  5  because the weather has been a lot warmer over the past few years, which  6  the melting(融化)of the ice in the Antarctic.This will soon cause water levels to  7  and flood parts of the world.

  Many people ignore this problem because they feel  8   they can't do anything about it and have more  9  things to worry about.If we all  10  so, then our ozone layer(臭氧层)will be  11  and the planet will no longer be able to make life continue to exist.We should do our best to limit the use of our planet's  12  resources(资源)and keep our air clean.  13  , future generations will suffer from our  14  

  Some might feel that they can't stop global warming from  15  .But if every single person does his or her part in keeping the air clean, then it will become a  16  effort.Sure, there are some things that cause pollution and that we won't be able to  17  change.This may include cars burning oil, but we can  18  adjust some of these things.People can start carpooling, taking the bus, riding their bikes, or  19  just walking.

  If everyone takes  20  now, I believe we can start seeing remarkable results within a few years.
