Social Class in the Roman Empire
The Roman Empire lasted almost 500 years. At its peak, near the end of the third century A.D., it had absorbed parts of northern Africa and the Near East, along the Mediterranean Sea, and almost all of Europe.
Roman governors enforced Romes class system and laws. Status was based on ancestry, property and wealth, dtizenship, and freedom. There were two classes, each with its own divi- sions, and mobility through the ranks foUowed a rigid set of rules. At the top were aristocrats, who were people of privilege; and below them were the plebeians. Women in all classes were considered socially and biologically inferior to men. Women could not vote, hold public office, or choose a mate, but they could own and inherit property.
The aristocrats included the patricians who were rich landowners. Senators, an elite group of 600 men from this dass, also held the highest offices and judgeships in the empire. Senators could expect to move up through several ranks, of which consul was the highest. Below patri- cians were equestrians. These were businessmen working in financial realms-such as banking and tax collection, commerce, and public building projects.
Plebeians were citizens employed as teachers, doctors, actors, musicians, craftsmen, and manual laborers. Some were peasants, subsisting on what they could force from the soil. Many were unemployed. They were powerless in general, but most emperors made a point of control- ling food prices and offering free entertainment to keep them happy-or at least quiet.
At the bottom of the social ladder were freedmen, slaves, and various noncitzens. Slaves were crucial to the empires economy and at one point made up about 40 percent of the popula- tion. Although many of them were treated harshly, even cruelly, others were valued for their skills and knowledge. Slaves were not necessarily doomed to a lifetime of slavery. They could buy their own freedom or be freed by their owners in a process called "manumission. " Formal manumission as handled by a magistrate gave the freed slave full Roman citizenship.
Money and achievement, however, began to rival ancestry as a way to move up in life. The culture and wealth of the provinces made themselves felt in the capital city of Rome. Gitizen- ship was extended to conquered peoples-and later, provincials were admitted to the Senate.

前言/序言

　　閱讀既是理解和吸收語言文化信息的重要手段之一，又是語言文化信息的最便捷的輸入源。我國教育部新製定的全日製義務教育和普通高級中學《英語課程標準》對學生的閱讀技能從三級到九級提齣瞭明確的要求。在目前國內外的各種英語測試中，閱讀理解所占的比重越來越大。為此，我們特嚮你推薦“中學英語拓展閱讀叢書”（Timed Readings Plus）。本叢書含有以下3個子係列：社會科學（Social．Studies）、自然科學（．Science）及數學（Mathematics），由上海外語教育齣版社從美國McGraw Hill Glencoe公司引進齣版。社會科學和自然科學各有10個分冊，社會科學每冊有24課，自然科學每冊有25課，每課兩篇閱讀材料；數學有5個分冊，每冊有15課，每課兩篇閱讀材料。本叢書語言地道，知識麵廣，信息量大，能有效訓練學生的閱讀理解能力，提高他們的閱讀速度。每課的第一篇閱讀材料篇幅長400單詞左右，側重訓練學生的快速閱讀能力；閱讀理解題則主要檢查學生是否能在快速閱讀後掌握閱讀材料中的事實和材料所傳達的思想。每課中的第二篇閱讀材料較短，著重訓練學生的閱讀技巧，如：從上下文中猜測生詞的含義，找齣作者的觀點，得齣中心思想，排列事件順序，推斷作者的論點等。因此，我們認為它是一套訓練學生閱讀速度及閱讀理解能力並能同時開拓他們視野的拓展型叢書，適閤外國語學校初二及以上年級學生和非外國語學校高中學生課內、外使用。
　　怎樣使用本係列叢書呢？我們有以下的一些閱讀策略供大傢參考。
　　1．閱讀時，要集中注意力。
　　2．用一分鍾閱讀標題，並思考以下問題：我是否瞭解這一話題？我從這個話題中能學到什麼？這個話題引起瞭我怎樣的思考？
　　3．重點閱讀文章第一句和最後一句，因為第一句和最後一句往往是作者提齣自己觀點和總結全文觀點的關鍵句子。
　　4．快速閱讀全文以獲得材料所傳達給你的信息。如遇到含有姓名、日期或數字等的內容，你應該放慢速度，以便記住這些內容。
　　怎樣纔是一個快速閱讀者？

社會科學係列比自然科學的難，需要一定的背景知識，而且生詞量很大，讀起來有點費勁。
