Nowadays, is it possible to tell a person’s class just by looking at him? Physical details J) alone tell us about health, diet and type of work done. A hundred years ago the working class very often lookd unhealthy, small and were either too thin or too fat. The upper classes were often D) tall , sporting types( sporting types意為“運動員體型的人”，此處暗指的是The upper classes。)
who were used to a good diet and looked healthy. Today living and working conditions have improved, and such G) descriptions would no longer be so true.The clothes people choose to wear, however, do provide information about their B) background. The most obvious way in which is for the amount of money spent on them. Expensive clothes look expensive and show their wearer had money. Clothes can provide other I) clues as well. The upper classes K) appear ]to be less interested in fashion adn wear good quality clothes in non-bright colours, made of natural material like wool, leather or cotton. Lower working class people often choose clothes in bright colours, made of man-made material. A sociological explanation for this would be that color and interest are mssing from their lives, and therefore any opportunity to introduce this is F) taken . (A sociological... and therefore...。此句是一個雙重復合句。句子為主系表結構，主語是explanation，系動詞為be，表語是由that引導的一個表語從句，而標語從句中又有一個由therefore引導的原因狀語從句。for后面的this指代的是上文提到的下層階級選擇顏色鮮艷的衣服，而introduce后面的this指代的是color and interest，introduce本意為“傳入，引進 ”，在此理解為“增加”。)
Clothes are A) available at a price within most people’s reach. (within most people’s reach意為“在大多數人的能力范圍內”，修飾price。)New clothes make the wearer feel good, and show some H) degree of wealth to the outside world. Today some new fashions are started by the lower working class people who want to look C) different and feel important. They want people to look at them.
