seemed to be riding a bicycle Millions of them all black Cars were rare Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year I ve found the opposite is true There are millions of cars However people still use their bicycles to get around For many it s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today Bicycles also come in different colors silver green red blue yellow whatever you want It s fun watching people biking They rush quickly through crossroads move skillfully through traffic and ride even on sidewalks 人行道 Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can t provide Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture I decided to buy a bicycle Great weather accompanied my great buy I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home My first ride home was orderly 守秩序的 To be safe I stayed with a pack of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times I didn t want to get hit So I took the ride carefully Crossing the streets was the biggest problem It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States The streets here were wide so crossing took time skill and a little bit of luck I finally made it home The feeling on the bicycle was amazing The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people Biking made me feel alive 61 According to the

sociologists 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 500 000 a year and a bus driver earning 50 000 a 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 65 What can we learn about the middle class from Paragraph 2 A People earning 50 000 a 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 66 According to the text we know

hard years Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice You are clearing too much land warned one old man The land is a living thing It will hit back at you if you abuse it Silly fool said Dennis to himself If I clear more land I can grow more crops I ll become wealthier He s just jealous Dennis continued to chop down trees Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door He did not notice salt seeping
