And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what keeping up with the Joneses is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors. The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants. Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors. It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They had to move back to an apartment in New York City. Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it Keeping up with the Joneses” because Jones is a very common name in the United States. Keeping up with the Joneses came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momands series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are Joneses in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.21. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they _.A. want to be as rich as their neighbors B. want others to know or to think that they are richC. dont want others to know they are richD. want to be happy22. It can be inferred from the story that rich people like to _.A. live outside New York City B. live in New York CityC. live in apartments D. live with many neighbors23. Whats the authors attitude to keeping up with the Joneses?A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Supportive. D. Objective.BThey had to get as many people out of the burning building as quickly as they could. So they told them to jump out of the window.The first one out of the window was a man. He was followed by his two children. Next, a baby and then the babys mother came flying out of the third-story window, all driven by desperation and the smoke that was coming from the apartment complex in Columbus, Ohio. Brian Smith and Corey Boykin helped them all. “We caught everything that came out of the window,” Smith said.A fire started on the second floor. “I got my family out,” said Smith. “Then I started banging on doors on the first floor. I tried getting to the second floor, but the smoke was too black.”Boykin was at his friend Melanie Nunemakers house, across the street from the complex. He knew something was wrong, he said, “when I saw a baby drop out of the window.” Catching the child below was Smith.Boykin ran to a nearby house to get a ladder and rushed back to help. He found Smith with his arms outstretched, shouting, “Jump! I got you.” He caught several people.Boykin climbed the ladder to warn those on the third floor to “turn around and come toward me because they couldnt see through the smoke,” he said.“I tried to walk out of the front door, but a big cloud hit me. The smoke was getting to me so bad, I couldnt breathe,” resident Chase Ray told 10TV. “He saved my life, for sure.”And he wasnt finished. When Boykin saw his burned-out neighbors, he took 20 or so of them back to Nunemakers house. “We gave them clothes, shoes, whatever we hadand they didnt,” Boykin said.24. Why did people jump from the building?A. They faced deadly threat.B. They were warned to flee.C. Their doors wouldnt open.D. They knew they would be safe.25. What did Boykin do when seeing something wrong?A. He got his family out.B. He came to the rescue.C. He caught a dropping baby.D. He started banging on doors.26. Who saved the people from the third floor?A. Nunemaker. B. Smith.C. Chase Ray. D. Boykin.27. How did Boykin further help the fire victims?A. Sending them to a rescue center. B. Asking his friends to donate money.C. Offering them articles of daily use.D. Fetching clothes and shoes from their houses.CYou are out to shopping. The sweater you buy home is ugly. Why?There is a science to every sale. Among other findings of interest to retailers, researchers have shown that customers are drawn to items sitting on the middle of a shelf, as opposed to the ends, and that we perceive prices to be lower when they have fewer syllables and end with a 9. Stores have figured out how to deal with us by overpricing goods with the intention of later marking it down, knowing that we will see the lowered price as a deal.“Retail atmospherics” lighting, wall color, music, smell and so oncan significantly influence customers moods, and their spending. Stores jammed with goods are known to induce claustrophobia（幽闭恐惧症）, while those that are too bare can cause agoraphobia. Either extreme can lead shoppers to flee. One researcher found that stores could remove these responses with the right fragrance. One paper now under peer review shows that cooler temperatures indoors lead to a more emotional style of decision making, while warmth contributes to a more analytical approachwhich could explain why expensive stores always seem to have their air-conditioning functioning.Touch is important too. Stores that keep their goods behind glass or in hard-to-reach places might consider making goods more accessible. People are more likely to buy a high-quality item if they can handle it. Music is likewise a powerful tool: The right kind can increase customers pleasure and cause them to lose track of time. One study found that popular music leads to impulsive decisions, while lesser-known background music leads to focused shoppersones who are, say, more likely to carefully process information about promotions.So now you know: Youre not entirely to blame for that regrettable statement necklace, or that unused man purse. Anchoring and atmospherics got the better of you.28. What does the underlined word “science” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Plan. B. Trap. C. Goal. D. Trick.29. How many factors are mentioned in paragraph 3?A. 5. B. 6. C. 7. D. 8.30. What can we know from the passage?A. Unknown songs are sure to improve sales.B. A wider choice of goods is always good for sales.C. The price of goods ending with a 9 is lower than that of a 3.D. Goods of high quality should be within the reach of customers.31. Why do you buy that ugly sweater according to this passage?A. Because you are taken over by atmosphere.B. Because you care more about the good price.C. Because you are cheated by talkative salesgirls.D. Because you are attracted by the unique design.DThere are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend （hurt）many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong , but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact （接触）with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.32. “The phrase“sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means_.A. have a good taste with social life B. make others unhappyC. tend to scold others openly D. enjoy the pleasure of life33. We can conclude from the passage that_.A. we should pity all such unhappy people B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social lifeC. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness D. unhappy people can not understand happy persons34. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit , the author suggests that people should _.A. prevent any communication with them B. show no respect and politeness to themC. persuade them to recognize the bad effects D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes35. In this passage, the writer mainly_.A. describes two types of people B. laughs at the unhappy peopleC. suggests ways to help unhappy people D. tells people how to be happy in life第二节(共5 小题. 每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容。从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。As new car prices continue to climb, you can find reliable but cheap used cars for sale. Many are readily available online, but car lots and local auto auctions(拍卖)also provide excellent sources for inexpensive vehicles. Here are the tips.Search online36 Some sites specialize in automotive sales and may contain hundreds of local lists. Private sellers may offer considerably lower prices for their cars than a dealer and be more receptive to negotiation. You will find dealer lists on these sites as well.Visit local auctionsThough many car auctions take place online, you still can find a cheap used car at a specialized auto auction. These auctions, available in many bigger cities, are the same ones where local dealers purchase cars for sale. 37, so check with your local auto auction center to confirm.38.Many organizations that manage a fleet of vehicles sell their used cars when they removed them from active service. Car rental companies frequently sell late model, relatively low mileage former rental cars for well below the price a dealer would charge for a similar vehicle. For a very cheap used car, consider browsing retired police cars and government surplus vehicles. 39Be prepared to negotiate40, you likely will have the opportunity to negotiate for a lower sales price. When negotiating with a dealer., according to the financial magazine Forbes, you may be able to get the lowest possible price on the last day of the month, a day with poor weather, or late at night on the weekend. Negotiations with a private seller often are more direct and consist of simply offering your ideal and reasonable price.A. Consider retired vehiclesB. Ask advice from local dealersC. These cars will help you save a lotD. Unless you buy your used car in an auctionE. Rules can vary significantly from auction to auctionF. When you find a chance to ask about the local situationG.
