correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
 It is hard to get any agreement on the precise meaning of the term "social class". In everyday life, 
people tend to have a different approach to those they consider their equals from which they assume with 
people they consider higher or lower than themselves in social scale. The criteria we use to 'place' a new 
acquaintance, however, are 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 ancient civilizations, the Sumerian, for example, which flourished in the lower Euphrates valley 
from 2000 to 5000 B.C. social differences were based on birth, status or rank, rather than on wealth. Four 
main classes were recognized. These were the rulers, the priestly administrators, the freemen (such as 
craftsmen, merchants or farmers) and the slaves.
 In Greece, after the sixth-century B.C., there was a growing conflict between the peasants and the 
aristocrats, and a gradual decrease in the power 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 population was slaves, who did 
not count politically at all, a fact often 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 too 
were allowed no share in political life. The third group was the powerful body of 'citizens", who were the United States at that time. In 1900, 10 million bicycles and an unknown number of horse-drawn 
carriages provided the prime means of personal transportation. Only about 4,000 cars were assembled in 
the United States in 1900, and only a quarter of those were gasoline powered. The rest ran on steam or 
electricity.
After viewing the cars made by forty car makers, the show's audience favored electric cars because they 
were quiet. The risk of a boiler explosion turned people away from steamers, and the gasoline-powered 
cars produced smelly fumes. The Duryea Motor Wagon Company, which launched the American auto 
industry in 1895, offered a fragrant additive designed to mask the smells of the naphtha that it burned. 
Many of the 1900 models were cumbersome - the Gasmobile, the Franklin, and the Orient, for example, 
steered with a tiller like a boat instead of with a steering wheel. None of them was equipped with an 
automatic starter.
These early model cars were practically handmade and were not very dependable. They were basically 
toys of the well-to-do. In fact, Woodrow Wilson, then a professor at Princeton University and later 
President of the United States, predicted that automobiles would cause conflict between the wealthy and 
the poor. However, among the exhibitors at the 1900 show was a young engineer named Henry Ford. But 
before the end of the decade, he would revolutionize the automobile industry with his Model T Ford. The 
Model T, first produced in 1909, featured a standardized design and a streamlined method of production – 
the assembly line. Its lower costs made it available to the mass market.
Cars at the 1900 show ranged in price from $1,000 to $1,500, or roughly $14,000 to $21,000 in today’s 
prices. By 1913, the Model T was selling for less than $300, and soon the price would drop even further. 
“I will build cars for the multitudes,” Ford said, and he kept his promise.
