discount d. for finding lost thingsb in the united states, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. 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 neighbours.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 neighbourhood 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 neighbours.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 neighbours. 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 “jonses” 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.60. it can be inferred (推断) from the story that rich people like to _.a. live outside new york city b. live in new york cityc. live in apartments d. have many neighbours61. from the text, we

popular name in the united statesc. his neighbours name d. not a good name63. according to the writer, it is to keep up with the joneses.a. correct b. interesting c. impossible d. goodchave you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it? just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind. how can you use this to increase your brain power? start writing.by putting thoughts into words, you are telling yourself the logic behind what you think, feel or only partly understand. often, explaining a thought is the process of understanding. in other words, you increase your brain power by exercising your explain power.try this experiment. explain how youll increase your brain power, even if you have no idea how right now. just start with anything, and create an explanation. for example, start with“ ill learn chess or ill read an article on the mind every week.explain how that will help. youll be surprised how often this becomes a workable plan, and if you actually do this, youll have a better understanding of your brain twenty minutes from now.another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember. many, if not most, highly productive people are always taking notes. you can try keeping it all in your head, but if you keep a journal (日志)of your ideas the next time youre working on a big project, you11 probably have more success. want to understand a topic? write a book about it. thats an extreme example, but if you are learning something new, write a letter to a friend about it, and you will understand it better. want to invent something? write an explanation of the problem-why you want to solve it, and why it is worth solving, and youre half-way there. writers dont always write because they clearly understand something beforehand. often, they write about something because they want to understand it. you can do the same. writing will help bring you to all understanding. give it a try. 64. according to the text, writing can help you a lot in the following ways except_. a. to increase of your brain power b. to ability to rememberc. to development of your interest in study d. to better understanding of a topic65. the underlined sentence youre half-way there in the fifth paragraph implies that_.a. you are already successful b. you still need to work hardc. writing can help you walk half way d. writing is important to solve problems66. whats the main purpose of the writer writing the text?a. to advise readers to start their writingb. to explain the importance of writingc. to persuade readers to become writers.d. to increase readers brain power.djerome kern is often called the father of american musical theater. kern is remembered for the hundreds of songs he wrote for musical plays and
