Part II Reading ComprehensionDirections: In this part there are four passages,

Concern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the

conveniences and luxuries of modern life, has brought great changes to the lives of

most Frenchmen. More people are working than ever before in France. In the cities

the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops and factories are

of the strongest critics of the new way of life are the young, especially university

students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened

by the triumph of the competitive, goods-oriented culture. Occasionally, they have

reacted against the trend with considerable violence. In spite of the critics,

however, countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of
