Since the 1980s the【C6】______of those at the top have risen strongly, while those below the median have stood still or fallen.

Work has come to offer the sort of pleasures that rich people used to【C18】______in their leisure time. On the other hand, leisure is【C19】______a sign of social power. Instead it【C20】______uselessness and unemployment.
