B
We all know what a brain is．A doctor will tell you that the brain is the organ of the body in the head．It controls our body's functions, movements, emotions and thoughts．But a brain can mean so much more．
A brain can also simply be a smart person, If a person is called brainy, she is smart and intelligent．If a family has many children but one of them is super smart, you could say, "She's the brains in the family．" And if you are the brains behind something you are responsible for developing or organizing something．For example, Bill Gates is the
brains behind Microsoft
Brain trust is a group of experts who give advice．Word experts say the phrase
"brain trust" became popular when Franklin D．Roosevelt first ran for president in
1932, Several professors gave him advice on social and political issues facing the U．S．
These professors were called his "brain trust．"
These ways we use the word "brain" all make sense．But other ways we use the
word are not so easy to understand．For example, to understand the next brain
expression, you first need to know the word “drain．" As a verb to drain means to,
remove something by letting it flow away．So a brain drain may sound like a disease
where the brain flows out the ears．But, brain drain is when a country's most educated people leave their countries to live in another．The brains are, sort of, draining out of the country．
However, if people are responsible for a great idea, you could say they brainstormed it．Here, brainstorm is not an act of weather．It is a process of thinking creatively about a complex topic．For example, business leaders may use brainstorming to create new
products, and government leaders may brainstorm to solve problems．
If people are brainwashed, it does not mean their brains are nice and clean．To brainwash means to make someone accept new beliefs by using repeated pressure in a forceful or tricky way．Keep in mind that brainwash is never used in a positive way．

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 typical 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 among younger people

He referenced that effort in his college essay, writing, “Like a tree, uprooted and replanted, I could have withered in a new country surrounded by people and languages I did not understand.

I faced my challenges with newfound zeal; I risked insults, spending my break talking to unfamiliar faces, ignoring their sarcastic remarks. ”
Harold “is tremendously focused in everything he does.” said John Capozzi, the school’s principal, “He’s a great role model. All the students and faculty are so proud of him. ”
Harold is the second Long Island student in as many years to get into all eight Ivies. Last year, William Floyd High School’s Kwasi Enim chose to go to Yale.
Harold, who has a 100. 51 grade-point average and wants to be a neurosurgeon, said he was leaning toward Yale, and had heard from Enin, offering congratulations. Like Enin, he’s likely to announce his college choice at a press conference later this month. The deadline to decide is May 1.
