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.56. some

superstorm sandy. people were in tears, picking up faded photographs, among their only remaining possessions. if that doesnt move you to get serious about safekeeping your lifetime of memories, what will? the digital age offers tools never imaginable beforeincluding one-click access to a lifetime of family photos. here is a brochure on how to back up (存) your photos and save them online, where they can live forever and be accessible in good times and bad. scanning the first step for those old photos is to scan them and save them to a digital format. most printers come with scanners these days, so thats an easy but extremely time-consuming step. storing the photos with your scans in place, import the photos into your computer, and back them up. you could make multiple copies of the disks and spread them to loved ones. or you could choose external(外接的) hard drives or usb thumb drive, and add your photo and video collection from your computer. online backupif you need lots of space, look at a pure online backup service, caronite. caronite backs up 300 million files daily. once you sign up, it starts to pick up everything you have on your hard drive. but photo collection on your computers main hard drive charges for $59 a year.cloud storagefor folks who dont need automatic backup, but instead want to take a more active approach, dropbox, google drive and microsofts skydrive let you store files online by yourself, share and instantly access them. all offer free options2gb of free storage for dropbox, 5gb for google and 7gb for skydrive. but if you want more, you need to pay. bottom linethe hard drive or flash drive is the cheapest and easiest. but drives can fail. online services are more expensive, but more secure. with more of us switching back and forth between our computers, such services are the best way to get access to our data from wherever we are. 59. why does the author mention superstorm sandy?a. to tell the background of the scanning photos. b. to describe a severe natural disaster.c. to attract the readers interest in the backups. d. to win the readers sympathy.60. what can we know from the passage? a. scanning photos take little time

which of the following allows storing files automatically? a. dropbox. b. skydrive. c. caronite. d. flash drive. 62. the main purpose of the passage is to _. a. introduce some of the storage servicesb. tell real stories about storage servicesc. describe the functions of storage servicesd. argue about the advantage of storage servicescare you a problem shopper? the answer is “yes”, if you or someone else thinks that you sometimes get carried away with shopping. in other words, do you or does someone else think you are occupied in extreme shopping? if people have regrets later about their shopping, or have an “out-of-control” feeling about the quantities of what they buy or the amount of credit they use, they may be considered to be problem shoppers.extreme shopping can lead to a more serious problem addictive shopping. addictive shoppers feel driven by the desire to shop and spend money. they experience great tension which drives them to shop and spend money and they feel a “rush” during the time they are occupied with the shopping activity.extreme or addictive shopping may result from long-time unpleasant feelings, of which anxiety, pain and shame are common ones. when we feel bad inside, we often do something to make ourselves feel better. in this case, we often go shopping.a few people shop to relieve their boredom or emptiness. for some people, the motivation is a desire for status, power, beauty or success. some love to shop as it makes them feel valued in the eyes of the shop assistants. others shop simply because it makes them forget, at least temporarily, tension, fear or unhappiness in their life.besides, shopping malls are designed to encourage continual shopping. for instance, there are some malls where you cant see clocks displaying the time because they dont want you to become too aware of the time you spend there. whats more, food courts, coffee shops and restrooms are provided, so you dont have to leave the mall because of your physical needs.therefore, once you become aware of how market forces work, you will certainly come to control your shopping behavior. for example, how much time you will spend and what areas you will visit can be decided before you enter the mall. keep a written account of what items you will buy and how much money you will spend. make a plan for what you are going to buy before you feel the urge to shop and then stick to it. that is vital for gaining self-control.63which of the following people may not be problem shoppers?athose who cannot control the amount of credit they use.bthose who feel sorry for their shopping.cthose who are occupied in too much shopping.dthose who just walk around the shopping malls.64according to the passage, what may not result in addictive shopping?athe desire for status, power, beauty or success.bthe awareness of how market forces work.cboredom, emptiness, tension, fear or unhappiness in peoples life.dlong-time bad feelings of anxiety, pain and shame.65what does the author suggest to control our shopping behaviour?anever going to the shopping malls because there are many tricks.bapplying for a credit card before we go shopping.cmaking a shopping list before we go shopping.dmaking the shopping time as short as possible.66the author writes this passage to .ainform the shopping malls how to attract more shoppersbtell a shopping storycscold the problem shoppersdprovide solutions to the problem shopping. dmoral science is taught as a subject in most schools but with little effect. perhaps part of the problem lies in the fact that morality is not a science, strictly speaking. it is too much of a social phenomenon, and also has to
