ANSWERSHEETTHREE
面 现代社会无论价值观的持有还是生活方式的选择都充满了矛盾。而最让现代人感到尴尬的是,对重重矛盾,许多时候你却别无选择。匆忙与休闲是截然不同的两种生活方式。但在现实生活中,人们却在这两种生活方式间频繁穿梭,有时也说不清自己到底是“休闲着”还是“匆忙着”。譬如说,当我们正在旅游胜地享受假期,却忽然接到老板的电话,告诉我们客户或工作方面出了麻烦———现代便捷先进工具在此刻显示出了它狰狞、阴郁的面容———搞得人一下子兴趣全无,接下来的休闲只能徒有其表,因为心里已是火烧火燎了。

本文是一篇议论文,通过与英国人生活方式的对比介绍直布罗陀人的生活方式,对直布罗陀人的社会凝聚力加以分析,并表示赞赏。首段简述英国人蜗居的生活方式,第二段对比介绍直布罗陀人社交活动频繁的生活方式。第三段介绍直布罗陀人简单的家居布置,指出“家”在直布罗陀人心中的概念。第四段介绍英国人聚会的方式,指出英国社会人与人之间很少坦诚相见。第五段则对比介绍直布罗陀人喜欢社交、喜欢聚会的情结。末段通过介绍直布罗陀的生活环境,分析其团体情结产生的根源,即地域面积小、人与人之间没有隐私等,这些都使得直布罗陀人具有强烈的社会意识,使其成为最友好、最宽容的地方,其人本主义精神让人留恋不已。

围绕英国人的阶级概念展开。开篇由乔治·奥威尔的观点引入主题:英国人的阶级概念。 本文是一篇议论文,
第二段通过英国YouGov民意测验公司进行的调查结果指出英国人对阶级概念的重视。第三段介绍阶级的划分标准。第四段指出作为阶级划分标准之一的职业如今正变得不再那么具有指导意义。第五段至第七段分析了现在的阶级概念变模糊的原因:工作类型趋同;移民建立了自己的阶级标准;成名的门槛降低。第八段指出英国人往往认同自己出生时所处的阶级,因此会在判断自己的阶级时表现保守。末段进行全文总结,通过自问自答,指出虽然阶级的概念变得比较模糊,但它仍然与教育成就和职业期望密切相关
