Deep down I know its only Mum, ringing for a

2、 chat because, yet again, she cant sleep. But for a fraction of a second I freeze. It was midnight when the call came that changed the way I felt about the person I loved most my dad. Id watch his friends playing around with young girls and then look at Dad. “Ridiculous,“ hed say, and Id smile, know

3、ing he could never behave that way. Last October, as if to prove the point, he whisked Mum away for a romantic weekend in Rome to celebrate their silver wedding anniversary. She was so happy. I didnt think any couple could be closer and I always dreamed that when I got married it would be the same f

4、or me secure and caring. Dad always wanted the best for me and he made sure I got it. Thanks to his Army career and pension we were financially better off than most. But he always pushed me to achieve things for myself and not be too dependent on him and Mum. I loved him for that, but when he packed

5、 me off to America for a year to “find myself“ I didnt want to go. Hugging me at the airport, Dad wiped away my tears. “Itll be character building, Emma,“ he said, adding : “Anyway, if you dont like it after a few months you can come back. But trust me Princess, youll love it. “ He was right. I love

6、d the States, and living there built up my confidence. Still, I missed Dad like mad. I remember sitting in a coffee bar in Chicago and hiding behind the menu as tears poured down my face. I was frightened, alone and I knew Dad wasnt there to put his arms around me and reassure me. I rushed out to a

7、phone booth to call him. As soon as I heard his sleepy voice I felt okay. Then, when I got home 12 months later, nothing much had changed. I thought. Mum was as madly in love with Dad as shed been since the day hed first kissed her in the school playground; and Dad seemed to feel the sameon the outs

8、ide. Except hed finally left the Army and was now an area manager for a car manufacturer. Mum was over the moonit meant he no longer had to travel all over the country and spend months away from home. Dad was excited about his new job, and when he started working late neither Mum nor I thought anyth

9、ing of it. He told us it was a new project, and so confidential he wasnt allowed to tell us much about it. I believed he was at work, tucked away in his office until I got that unforgettable midnight call. The womans voice was hesitant but panicky. She asked if I was Georges daughter. I didnt realiz

10、e who she was until she told me Dad was with her at midnight. She said she hadnt wanted to ring, that shed never wanted me to find out about her, but she had no choice. Someone had to know that Dad was on his way to hospital. “Hes had a heart attack,“ she said, her voice trembling. As I paced up and

11、 down the hospital corridor, this strange woman explained that shed been with my father when hed collapsed. The thought of them together made me feel ill. While I rushed to the toilet to splash water on my face, I heard a cry. It was her. As soon as I saw the doctor taking off his mask and laying a

12、hand on her shoulder, I knew Dad had gone. I couldnt make myself go and look at him. I wouldve seen a stranger lying there. The man who for 24 years had told me never to lie, to be true to myself and always to treasure family values above all else, had slipped away from my lift for ever. Only then d

13、id I discover this woman worked for the company. She was Dads so-called “confidential project“. An hour or so later I broke the news to Mum. I said Dad had suffered a heart attack while he was at his friend Roys house; that has made me feel even more guilty, because Ive had to draw Roy into it all.

14、I told Mum that Dad had been going over the new project with Roy and had collapsed. Nothing could be done. I even remember saying hed been working much too hard lately. The last image I have of my Dad was as hed waved good-bye that night. Hed ruffled my hair and told me he loved me. Then he went to

15、see her. If Mum ever found out that hed been deceiving her and had died in someone elses arms, it would kill her. So Ive tried to make sure that never happens. Sometimes I wonder how Im strong enough to keep this secret Dad has burdened me with. But I must for Mums sake. In the last six months I see

16、m to have lost all sense of what is right and wrong. Worst of all, Ive lost the person who meant so much to me. In my eyes, my Dad died once when I heard her voice on the phone. And he died again when his heart stopped beating. The pain of knowing I lost him twice makes it doubly hard to bear.（分数：70

43、ng of the term “social class“. In everyday life, people tend to have a different approach to those they consider their equals from that which they assume with people they consider higher or lower than themselves in the social scale. The criteria we use to “place“ a new acquaintance (熟人) , however, a

44、re a complex mixture of factors. Dress, way of speaking, area of residence in a given city or province, education and manners all play a part. In Greece, after the sixth-century B.C., there was a growing conflict between the peasants and the landed aristocrats(贵族), and a gradual decrease in the powe

45、r of the aristocracy when a kind of “middle class“ of traders and skilled workers grew up. The population of Athens, for example, was divided into three main classes which were politically and legally distinct. About one-third of the total were slaves, who did not count politically at all, a fact of

46、ten forgotten by those who praise Athens as the nursery of democracy. The next main group consisted of resident foreigners, the “metics“, who were freemen, though they two were allowed no share in political life. The third group was the powerful body of “citizens“, who were themselves divided into s

47、ub-classes. In the later Middle Ages, however, the development of monetary economy and the growth of cities and trade led to the rise of another class, the “burghers“ or city merchants and mayors. These were the predecessors of the modern middle classes. Gradually high office and occupation assumed importance in determining social position, as it became more and more possible for a person born to one station in life to move to another. This change affected the towns more than the country areas, where remnants of feudalism lasted much longer. With the break-up of the feudal econ
