He got married and moved with his wife to a very rich neighborhood outside New York CityWhen he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every dayWhen he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighborsIt was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep upThe race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of lifeThey moved back to an apartment in New York CityMomand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighborsHe 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 ordinary(普通的) 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 yearsPeople never seem to get tired of keeping up with the JonesesAnd 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 ahead21. Which of the following is right ?A. Momand was poor when he was 23.B. Momand followed others way of life after moving outside New York city.C. Momand and his wife went back to New York after becoming rich.D. The expression “Keeping up with the Joneses” was first used by Momands neighbour.22. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they_A. want others to know or to think that they are richB. hope to be rich people like their neighborsC. want to hide their wealth from other peopleD. would like to be ordinary people23Arthur Momand used the name “Jones” in his series of short stories because “Jones” is_A. an important name for important peopleB. a popular name in the United StatesC. the name of the neighbor he did not likeD. a name which people did not use any longer24. According to the writer, it is _ to keep up with the JonesesA. right B. interesting C. impossible D. goodBIve always felt a need to be prepared for whatever situation Ive found myself inMy mother once took me to a store when I was seven years old. She and I got to the checkout counter, and she realized she had forgotten a couple of things on her shopping list. She left me with the cart and ran off to get what she needed.“Ill be right back.” she said.She was gone just a few minutes, but at that time, I had loaded all the things on the belt and everything was rung up. I was left staring at the cashier, who was staring at me. “Do you have money for me, son?” she said. “Ill need to be paid.”I didnt realize she was just trying to please herself. So I stood there, ashamed and embarrassed.By the time my mom returned, I was angry. “You left me here with no money! This lady asked me for the money, and I had nothing to give her.”Now that Im an adult, youll never catch me with less than $200 in my wallet. I want to be prepared in case I need it.Ive always admired people who are over-prepared. In college, I had a classmate named Norman. One day he was giving a speech on an overhead projector(投影仪) and in the middle of his talk, the light bulb（灯泡）on the projector blew out. We would have to wait ten minutes until someone found a new projector.“Its Okay.” he said. “Theres nothing to worry about.”We watched him walk over to his bag and pull something out. He had brought along a spare(备用) bulb for the overhead projector. Who could even think of that?I often told my students, “When you go into the wilderness, the only thing you can depend on is what you take with you.” And essentially, the wilderness is anywhere but your home or office. So take money. Pack a light bulb. Be prepared.25. Why did the cashier ask a seven-year-old boy to pay for the purchases?A. The boy was shopping by himselfB. The boys mother asked her to do soC. The boys mother was away for something elseD. The cashier was playing a joke on him26. Why was the boy angry with his mother?A. His mother left him aloneB. He lost face in front of the cashierC. His mother forgot to buy somethingD. He had just quarreled with the cashier27. Why did Norman bring a spare bulb with him?A. He was always well-preparedB. His speech was about bulbsC. He knew the classroom equipment was of poor qualityD. He knew the bulb on the projector would blow out28. What do the two stories tell us?A. Accidents happen almost every dayB. Money is the key that opens all doors.C. In fine weather, prepare for a rainy dayD. Chances are for those who are well-preparedCThe greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a womans life which was spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would possibly have been in her middle twenties. They would be likely(可能) to have seven or eight children and four or five of them lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years. During the twenty years, chances and health made it unusual for her to get paid work.Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a womans youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty five and is likely to take paid work until they are sixty. Even while she has to take care of children, her work becomes easier by eating fast foods and using washing machines , cleaning robots and so on.This important change in womens way of life has only recently begun to play a role in their position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first chance and most of them took a full- time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school -leaving age is sixteen. Many girls stay at school after that age, and though women are likely to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until their first child is born. Many people return to full or part-time work after that. Such changes have caused a new relationship in the family, with both the husband and the wife accepting a great share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with both the husband and the wife sharing more equally in supporting the family, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.29. When she was over fifty, the late 19th century mother _. .A . would expect to work until she diedBwas usually expected to take up a paid jobCwould be healthy enough to take up a paid jobDhad much difficulty in finding a paid job30. Many girls, the passage says, are now likely to _. .A . marry so that they can get a jobBleave school as soon as they canCgive up their jobs forever after they are marriedDcontinue working until they are going to have a baby31. According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to _. .Astay at home after leaving schoolBmarry men younger than themselvesCstart working again later in lifeDmarry while still at schoolDI travel a lot, and I find out different “styles”（风格）of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”Foreign tourists(游客) are often confused（困惑）in Japan because most streets there dont have names; in Japan, people use landmarks（地标）in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat；in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example , people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”People in Los Angeles , California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure(度量) distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it is about five minutes from here.” You say , “Yes , but how many miles away is it ?”They dont know .Its true that a person doesnt know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea .” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I dont know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I dont know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan !32. When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a place, they usually _.A. tell him/her what the place is like B. show him a map of the placeC. tell him the names of the streets D. use recognizable buildings and places33. What is the place where people measure distance in time ?A. New York . B. Los Angeles .C. Kansas . D. Iowa34. People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer _.A. to save time B. to cheat himC. to be polite D. for fun35. What can we infer from the text ?A. Its important for travelers to understand cultural differences.B. Its useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.C. People have similar understandings of politeness.D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.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。Quick tips for better time managementAre you a good time manager?
