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意为“运动员体型的人”，此处暗指的是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...。此句是一个双重复合句。句子为主系表结构，主语是explanation，系动词为be，表语是由that引导的一个表语从句，而标语从句中又有一个由therefore引导的原因状语从句。for后面的this指代的是上文提到的下层阶级选择颜色鲜艳的衣服，而introduce后面的this指代的是color and interest，introduce本意为“传入，引进 ”，在此理解为“增加”。)
Clothes are A) available at a price within most people’s reach. (within most people’s reach意为“在大多数人的能力范围内”，修饰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.
