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 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 throughout the country for over 28 years. People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses.

This animal is the fennec fox.Fennec foxes have ears that are 5 to 6 inches long. Thats big for an animal that weighs less than four pounds. Their ears help shed (去除) body heat. And， as you may have guessed， they also provide great hearing.Its also interesting to think about the hair of fennec foxes. Why would a fox that lives in the desert need a thick， fur coat? Actually， the desert isnt always warm. During the nighttime， a desert can be terribly cold! A fennec foxs fur keeps them warm during those desert nights. They also have long bushy tails that they use as a blanket. And the hair on their feet protects them from the hot sand in the daytime.Fennec foxes live in small communities of dens (兽穴).They spend most of the day sleeping in their dens， out of the hot sun. Then， when night comes， they come out in search of food. In addition to(除之外) their great hearing， fennecs also use their great sense of smell and big eyes to track down dinner.Fennecs eat both meat and plants.
