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 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 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). Social security and laws to improve century, 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 among younger people

Last year，researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy，the ability to understand other people，among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years. That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time，the researchers said.

1. Jennifer Freed，a co-director of a teen program，has another explanation. Turn on the TV，and you're showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting，competing，and generally treating one another with no respect. 2.

There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples.Humans are socially related by nature. Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human — and having empathy is decisive to those relationships. Research ers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. 3.

Empathy is also an indication of a good leader.In fact，F(xiàn)reed says，many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. 4. “Academics are important.But if you don't have emotional （情感的） intelligence，you won't be as successful in work or in your love life，” she says.

What's the best way to up your EQ （情商）? For starters，let down your guard and really listen to others. 5.

To really develop empathy，you'd better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital，join a club or a team that has a diverse membership，have a “sharing circle” with your family，or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.

A. Today，people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.

B. “One doesn't develo p empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking，” Freed

says.

C. Humans learn by example and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.

D. Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else — both what they think and

how they feel.

E. Good social skills, including empathy, are a kind of “emotional intelligence” that will help

you succeed in many areas of life.

F. Besides，empathy can be a cure for loneliness，sadness，anxiety，and fear.

G. Everyone is different，and levels of empathy differ from person to person.

Coconut oil has become popular as healthier oil in cook-ing* cleaning and even as part of a natural beauty product. At room temperature except in warmer climates, it hardens, but naturally becomes liquid as the temperature rises. 8

The kitchen is one of the most important parts of the house. You may think that, since it's only used for cooking, there's no need to pay much attention to its colour. 9 Colour influences people's mood and creates an atmosphere, and surely you want to be in a good mood when you're cook-ing.

To decorate a kitchen, first look for a theme which will then influence the colour scheme (方案).The most common colours in kitchens are white, yellow and other light colours. Kitchens are usually painted in one colour to create a clean and neat look. 10  Also, since kitchens tend to have smaller windows, the light colours help make it brighter. Neutral colours such as grey and cream can also be used to create some contrast.

11 Start with your favourite colour, or two light col-ours that balance each other. Make sure that you test them thoroughly first so that you can be sure they'll actually work. For more adventurous kitchen owners? three colours next to each other can also work. But these need to be carefully chosen, because one wrong colour can ruin the whole look of the kitchen.

When the kitchen colour scheme has been chosen, other elements must be considered. Some important things, such as cupboards, in the kitchen can affect its look. Tiles (瓷磚) and the floor must be chosen to fit the look. 12

Last but not least, no matter what colour scheme you use, make sure that it really is the one you want. 13

A.     Many people want to decorate their kitchens with bright colours.

B.     Different colours have different effects on people's mood.

C.     Otherwise, get advice from other members of the family.

D.     The light colours make the room seem bigger than it is.

E.     There are different ways to create a colour scheme.

F.      In a word, kitchen decoration must go together with the colour scheme,

G.     But in fact, the colour schemes of kitchens are as impor-tant as those of any other rooms.

                   4 ways to respectfully disagree

    It’s easier to agree than disagree. But we can learn a lot from conversations where we don’t see eye to eye—if we can listen and talk rationally(理性地).    71     These 4 tips can help keep disagreements constructive.

Don’t make it personal.

If you get upset, it can help to remember that you’re mad at the person’s idea or concept your parent(or friend, coach, coworker, etc) is raising , not the person.

Use “I” statements to communicate how you feel, what you think, and what you want or need.

___72___ For example, telling your mom or dad, “You always remind me about my chores on Wednesdays when you know I have a lot of homework” has a very different tone from “I’m feeling pressured because I have a lot of homework tonight. Can I do those chores tomorrow?”

___73___ Being a good listener is a way of showing that you respect and understand the other person’s idea. That makes it more likely he or she will do that same for you. When the other person is talking, try to stop yourself from thinking about why you disagree or what you’ll say next. Instead, focus on what’s being said. When it’s your turn to talk, repeat back any key point the other person made to show you listened and heard what was said.     74   

Stay calm.

This is the most important thing you can do to keep a conversation on track. Of course, it’s huge challenge to stay calm and rational when you feel angry about something. You may need to be the mature one who manages the conversation.

   75    Being helpful and considerate toward family members, or coaches in our everyday actions helps all of us establish a foundation for those times when we might disagree.

A. Listen to the other point of view.

B. Using “you” statements can sound argumentative.

C. Then calmly present your case and why you disagree.

D. Respect goes beyond difficult conversations, of course.

E. Avoid putting down the other person’s ideas and beliefs.

F. You want to find your own path and make your own choices.

G. Unfortunately, lots of us either shy away completely from disagreements or lose it when things don’t go our way.
