Reading Passage 1

The Double Life

    These days, people who do manual work often receive far more  than clerks who works in offices. People who work in offices are frequently referred to as "white collar workers" for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work.

Such is human nature ,that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white collar workers. This can give rise to curious 

situation, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs  who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation.

     When he got married, Alfred was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job. He simply told her that he worked for the Corporation.
