For many given task in Britain there are more men than are needed. Strong unions keep them

Working-class families in the United States are usually nuclear, and

many studies indicate that working-class couples marry for love, not

for money. Upper-class couples may marry for love, but their commitment

of love is sometimes compromised by the recognition of their marriage 【M1】______

as a way to preserve their class identity. Middle-class couples may also

marry for love, but the overridden task of middle-class families is also 【M2】______

an-economic thing—to enhance the earning power of the breadwinner. 【M3】______

Of course, working-class people are also affected by the economic

realities for their families must operate like economic units as well. 【M4】______

However, the economic tasks of families are more a part of their dreams 【M5】______

about marriage than they are a part of the reality of their married life.

Indeed, to many a working-class couples, love provides a way to escape 【M6】______

from the difficulties of their parents’ home and starts their own family life. 【M7】______

Another distinctive feature of working-class families is the majority 【M8】______

of them have limited choices about the work available to them. Their

"choices' are often the "leftovers" in the job market. People from working-class

families do seek serf-esteem and personal confirmation, and they come 【M9】______

to their jobs full of hopes. However, given the way which production 【M10】______

and consumption are organized in advancing societies like the U.S.,

members of the working-class often experience exploitation in struggling

at jobs that may be less meaningful.

Most insurance companies in the world are stock insurance companies or mutual insurance companies. A stock insurance company is owned by stockholders, who share in profits earned by the company. A mutual insurance company is owned by the policyholders(投保人). Profits earned by a mutual insurance company are returned to the policyholders as dividends(股息) or used to cut future insurance cost.

In addition to the private insurance organizations, certain types of insurance are provided in the U.S. by governmental organizations. A notable instance is the system of social security operated by the federal government through the Social Security Administration.

An insurance company may require a policyholder to provide proof of the ownership and the value of lost or damaged property before it pays compensation. For this reason, policyholders should have such evidence of their possessions as lists, sales receipts, appraisals(估价单), or photographs. The evidence should be kept in a safe-deposit box or other secure place outside the home.

Many companies that sell health insurance policies(保险) provide cash benefits to the insured person. A cash benefit is a fixed dollar amount for each medical expense or day of hospitalization. If the cash benefits do not cover the entire cost of medical care, the policyholder must pay the rest.

The profits earned by a mutual insurance company______.

A．are shared by the stockholders

B．are all given to the policyholders as stocks

C．are used to reduce future insurance cost
