     How do you feel when you stay in hospital alone? Jenny, 13, a US student, feels bored. She knows the

feeling because she has been in hospital many times herself. One day, she thought of an idea-if patients

could get some books to read, they would feel better. So, from May, she and many of her friends began to

collect books for hospital patients.

     In six months the students collected 1,250 books at school. They decided to donate the books to the

North Shore Medical Centre, a children's hospital next door to their school. "There are books for kids of all

ages, from babies up to high school level." said Jenny.

     The students put the books into "early readers", "middle readers" and "advanced readers". Then they wrote

their best wishes to patients on bookmarks (书签) and letters, put the books in big boxes and donated them

to the hospital. "

     We wrote things like, 'Keep on reading!' and 'Hope you feel better!'," said John, 14, Jenny's brother. "And

we also wrote some funny things to make them laugh." Frank, 12, and Steven, 14, helped carry 16 large boxes

of books into a car. "I think these books will make a lot of patients feel happy." said Frank. Steven shared his

opinion. "It is really the most meaningful thing that I have ever done in my life."

     Members of the working class have blue-collar jobs. They are construction workers, truck drivers,

mechanics, steel workers, electricians, and the like. What makes this class differ from the lower class is,

first, longer periods of employment-and therefore, more fixed incomes -and, second, employment in skilled

or semiskilled (半熟练的 ) occupations, not unskilled ones. Although unemployment hits all levels of the

American economy, including those of skilled and semi-skilled workers, it is most common at the bottom

of the class structure and increasingly less common at each level upward. They consider themselves to be

respectable and hard working and they look down upon members of the"lower" class, whom they often

consider to be lazy, dis-honest, and too ready to exploit public assistance.

     Most people in the working class have at least high school education. Many have some experi-ence of

college ( especially community college), though few are college graduates.

     Unionization has helped the working class, but a rapidly changing economy and frequent periods of high

unem-ployment make it difficult for most of its members to be able to increase their savings great-ly.

Purchasing a house for people in this class is extremely difficult, although a certain percentage may receive

houses from their parents. (Home-owning rises with social class. )

      A greater number of the members of the working class take relatively little satisfaction in their jobs,

because much of their work is ordinary and boring. As a result, many seek their main satis-faction in

recreational ( 娱乐的) activities. Many members of this class would like to earn enough money to leave their

jobs and start their own businesses, though few make it. Many place their expectations on their children,

hoping that they at least will rise in the ladder of success, American style.

1. Which of the following is true about the working class.?

A. They are often employed as skilled and semi-skilled workers.

B. They are often offered jobs with high incomes.

C. They are often considered lazy and dishonest.

D. They are often exploited by the public.

2. The underlined word "hit" (paragraph 1 ) roughly means _____.

A. strike with a blow

B. have bad effects on

C. break up

3. Most people in the working class _____.

A. have difficulty increasing their savings greatly

B. have at least some experience of college

C. receive houses from their parents

D. buy houses by themselves

4. Many members from the working class are not satisfied with their jobs because _____.

A. they could not rise in the ladder of success
