Dear Patti,
I’m writing to you for some advice on my studies．As you know, football is a very popular sport in the world and I am attracted to it and I have fallen in love with it, which makes me feel so crazy．I have been spending lots of time doing many things related to it, like watching football matches, reading newspapers and magazines, and searching the Web for more information about football．As a result, it has certainly disturbed my normal study．Though I know to be a football fan is my hobby and my major objective is to learn more knowledge in school, I can’t concentrate on my lessons and gradually I am tired of them．I am still a senior two middle school student, and I’ll have my own business even when I grow up, so I am not likely to do a job in the field of football．But now I can’t stop myself from getting involved further with football．So I feel very depressed and want to know how to deal with the contradiction （矛盾） between my studies and hobbies．
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming

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 trypical 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 amongst younger people
BEIJING （Associated Press美联社）—China has a growing middle class, a tradition（传统） of expecting education and 21 million new babies every year．Selling educational toys should be easy．
While China may be the worlds biggest toy maker, many of the best are exported．Department stores here do not have enough high quality toys．It is said that the demand for educational toys is low．
A US company, BabyCare, is trying to change that with a new way to sell toys in China．
BabyCare works basically together with doctors in Beijing hospitals． People who join the company’s "mother club" can get lectures and newsletters on baby and child development at no extra cost, if they agree to spend 18 dollars a month on the company’s educational toys and child care books．
"We want to build a seven-year relationship with those people," said Matthew J．Estes, BabyCare’s president．"It starts during pregnancy （孕期）, when the anxiety and needs are highest．" BabyCare works on a one to one basis．Doctors, nurses, and teachers paid by BabyCare advise parents, explain toys that are designed for children at each stage （阶段） of development to age six．
BabyCare opened its first store in China last June in a shopping center in central Beijing and another near Beijing Zoo．It plans to have 80 stores in China within six years．
It is a new model for China and develops a market in young children’s education and health that no other companies are in．
1.What do the first two paragraphs mainly tell us?
A．Educational toys and foreign toy markets．
B．Problems with China’s toy market and education．
C．Reasons for pushing sales of educational toys in China．
