22、 is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The express0ion 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

23、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 on

24、e 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 wit

25、h 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 peopl

26、e 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.

31、15、“What is success”? Mr. Black asked his 6th grade business class. It was his opening conversation for the first class of the term.“Success is riding in a sweet car, watching an 80-inch(英寸) TV, and living in a place with at least twelve rooms.” One student answered, earning（博得）laughs from all the s

32、tudents.Mr. Black smiled, but shook his head. “Tom, that is excess(过量). That is not success.”“How about being able to provide for your family?” A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggested as an answer.“Now were getting closer,” Mr. Black smiled, “but try thinking about what you need and what yo

33、u want.”“Getting everything you want.” Tom shouted out an answer again, trying for more laughs.Mr. Black sighed（叹气）.“ I believe weve already talked about excess versus(与比较) success.”“Getting everything you need, but some of what you want?” James, sitting in the back wondered aloud.“Quite right!” Mr.

34、 Black clapped. “Success is getting everything you need and some of what you want. The more you get that you want, the more successful you are. You do reach a point where you are living in excess, though.”“What does this have to do with business?” Tom asked. It seemed if it wasnt funny, he wasnt hap

35、py.“Well, Tom, think of it this way: the point of business is to make a living to support your family. Once you have properly seen to (确保) their needs, you can then seen to getting the extras that you want.”“What if I dont have a family?” he continued to be difficult.“Then you have to provide for yo

36、urself, a family of one.”“He has goldfish to think about!” Peter, Toms friend, shouted out.“Then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl.” Mr. Black corrected himself.Tom nodded, satisfied with that answer.“So in the next nine weeks, were going to study basic business situations, lik

40、sopher（哲学家）Friendrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives.

Among them, 10 percent of the teach

41、ers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. Thats partly because music is not seen as a very important

42、 life skill, and it isnt tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus（关注）on subjects that are tested more often.However, learning music is useful in many ways.When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks

43、, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode（解码）them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time. Musi

44、c has a special connection with science as well.

48、stion. The music is certainly very catchy. You can often recognize a Britpop song as soon as you hear it. Some of the biggest Britpop bands include Oasis, Blur, Suede and Pulp. However, bands like Oasis that are considered Britpop have more of a rock style (风格).So how do we recognize the difference

49、between Britpop and regular rock or pop? Well, Britpop mixes a number of different pop and rock styles with interesting lyrics and attitude. But its not just about the music. Britpop is also about fashion, art and politics (政治).If you watch their music videos, youll see how fashionable Britpop singe

50、rs are. Some of them hire famous artists to help them make more creative videos. English artist Damien Hurst, for example, produced some of Blurs music videos.As for politics, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair has talked about how much he enjoys Britpop. Perhaps he was just trying to sound cool to

51、 win more votes (投票) from young people.Britpop came and went in the 1990s. Britpop bands had some big hits at the time. Pulps most famous song is Common People. Blurs Country House is about a wealthy man who lives a boring life in a big house in the countryside. Blur and Oasis were probably the most

52、 popular bands.However, just like many fashion and art trends (潮流), Britpop didnt stick around for long. By the end of the 1990s, Britpop was no longer fashionable.

In other words, it was caused by air pollution. In London, so

56、me of this pollution came from factories, but a lot of it came from the coal that people burnt in their houses to keep warm during the winter. By the 1950s, Londons smog problem had become so bad that the government decided to do something to clean up the air. It didnt allow people to born coal in a

57、ny British city. A few years later, the air became much cleaner.Today many Chinese cities face the same problem with air pollution that London faced sixty years ago. However, this problem is more difficult for Chinese cities to solve. One reason is that more of pollution comes from big factories, ra

58、ther than from the coal burnt in peoples houses. If these factories were suddenly closed, it would harm the economy and lots of people would lose their jobs. Another reason is that changing from coal to cleaner fuels is quite expensive. However, the air in many cities will become cleaner, as the gov
