　　Focus on 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 harder than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices. shops. and factories are discovering the great efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunch rooms. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever increasing output. Thus the "typical" Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than his counterpart  (对应的 事物 )    of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comfort and ease of life . What he loses to some degree is his sense of personal uniqueness. or individuality.

The so-called Americanization of France has its  critics. They fear that "assembly line  (装配线 )  life" will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely  ( but less productive)  old French style. What will happen, they ask to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life ?  -joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a walk by the liver , or just happy hours of conversation in a local cafe.

　　In spite of the critics, however. countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of the modern economic world. They find that the present life brings more rewards, conveniences, and pleasures than that of the past They believe that a modern, industrial France is preferable to the old.
