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 outside new york city. 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 his 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 moved 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.36. some people want to keep up with the joneses because they _.a. want to be as rich as their neighbors b. want to be happyc. dont want others to know they are rich d. want others to know or to think that they are rich 37. it can be inferred (推断) from the story that rich people like to _.a. live in apartments b. live in new york cityc. live outside new york city d. have many neighbors38. arthur momand used the name “jones” in his series of short stories because “jones” is _.a. an important name b. a popular name in the united statesc. his neighbors name d. not a good name39. according to the writer, it is _ to keep up with the joneses. a. impossible b. interesting c. correct d. good bwe were driving on the right road when, all of a sudden, a black car pulled out of a parking space right in front of us. my taxi driver stepped on his brake, skidded(打滑), and missed the black cars back end by just inches! the driver of the black car, who almost caused a major accident, turned his head angrily and started shouting bad words at us.my taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. i mean, my taxi driver was friendly. so, i said, “why did you just do that? this guy almost ruined your car and sent us to hospital!” and the following is what my taxi driver told me, which i now call “the law of the garbage truck”.“many people are like garbage trucks. they run around full of garbage, full of anger, and full of disappointment. as their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump(倾卸)it. and if you let them, they dump it on you. when someone wants to dump on you, dont take it personally. just smile, wave, wish him well, and move on. believe me. youll be happier.”so this is “the law of the garbage truck”. i started thinking: how often do i let “garbage trucks” run right over me? and how often do i take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets? it was then that i said, “im not going to do it any more.”i began to see “garbage trucks”. i see the load theyre carrying. i see them coming to drop it off. and like my taxi driver, i dont make it a personal thing; i just smile, wave, and move on.good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting. good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs and kisses. what about you? the mark of a successful person is how quickly he can get back his focus on whats important.40. who acted like a garbage truck in the accident described in the first two paragraphs?a. the driver of the black car.b. the taxi driver.c. the author. d. both drivers.41. the reason why the taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy is that _.a. the black car was full of garbageb. the taxi driver didnt want his mood ruinedc. the driver of the black car didnt cause any damage to the taxid. the driver of the black car was angry and the taxi driver felt a little frightened42. the underlined part “the load” in paragraph 5 refers to _.a. new productsb. excitement c. bad mood d. waste materials43. what is the main idea of the last paragraph?a. always be kind and hardworking.b. do things quickly so as to be ready for the next.c. try to be good leaders as well as good parents. d. ignore unpleasantness and stick to your tasks.csummer is around the comer. its time for water sports. at this time of each year, millions of people get excited when the weather starts to turn warm. being by or on the water is a fantastic way to spend a hot day. however, one needs to prepare for any day that involves water, for safety, health and comfort. here are some suggestions for preparing for that day on the water:first of all, you should decide whether you are going to spend half of your day or the whole day out on the water. once this is decided, then you will be able to decide on the preparation you will need, and also decide what kind of activities you will be doing while you are out on the water.safety comes first any time you are dealing with activities on the water. you need to make sure that everyone that will be going out on the water has a life jacket. for many water activities, goggles (护目镜) or sunglasses are necessary for eye protection from both water and the sun. masks with breathing equipment are a smart idea if anyone is going to do a tittle bit of snorkeling (潜水). sun cream is one of the most important things to have on hand, both to protect your skin from uv rays (紫外线), and to keep your skin humid and protected from being affected by the salty water. its important to use the sun cream again after you have been in the water. a big umbrella is necessary equipment to take along.you also need to bring plenty to eat and drink. drinks like bottled water, juices and sports drinks are a great choice to keep you from getting dehydrated (脱水) while enjoying your fun in the sun. sandwiches and fruit are all great choices that will not make you feel heavy after eating.spending a day out on the water can be a lot of fun as long as you are well prepared. make sure that you are taking all the needed safety measures and your day on the water will be a day to remember.44. what does the underlined word humid in the third paragraph probably mean?a. clean b. dry c. wet d. soft45. what can we know from the passage?a. fishing on the water is a safer activity than others.b. the best way to keep you cool is to take a big umbrella with you.c. taking water sports needs to be paid more attention to than other activities. d. some food is not suitable while taking water sports. 46. the author writes the passage to _ _. a. advise us to take part in more water sports b. tell us advantages of some water sports c. advertise some kind of sun cream d. tell us to make full preparations for doing water sports47. the passage is likely to appear in .a. a business book b. a local newspaperc. a school text book d. a
