In the United States many have been told that anyone can become rich and successful if he works hard and has some good luck.
Yet, 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 tries to look as rich and as successful as his neighbors.
The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American by the name of 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. Young Momand was very proud of his riches. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. But just moving there was not enough. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horse 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. Momand and his wife could not do that.
The race ended for them when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They left their wealthy neighborhood and 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 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 the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.
Every city has an area where people want to live because others will think better of them if they do. 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.
1. The writer of the selection believes _____.
  A. anyone in the United States can become rich
  B. anyone in the United Sates can become rich if he works hard and has some good luck
  C. he can become rich in the future
  D. many people in the United States think anyone can become rich if he works hard and has some good luck
2. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because ______.
  A. they want to be as rich as their neighbors
  B. they want to be happy
  C. they don’t want others to know they are rich
  D. they want others to know or to think that they are rich
3. It can be inferred from the story that rich people _____.
  A. like to live in apartments
  B. like to live in New York City
  C. like to live outside New York City
  D. like to have many neighbors
4. Arthur Momand used the name “Jones” in his series of short stories because Jones is _____.
  A,. an important name
  B. his neighbor’s name
  C. a popular name in the United States
  D. not a good name

  A. correct to keep up with the Joneses
  B. interesting to keep up with the Joneses
  C. impossible to keep up with the Joneses
  D. good to keep up with the Joneses

A certain hunter had found a piece of forest where there were plenty of animals to hunt. The only trouble was that the place was very difficult to get to.
He returned from his first visit to the place in late autumn, and could not get back until the snow melted in the following spring. Then he went to the pilot of a small plane, who earned his living by carrying hunters over parts of the country where there were no roads and no railways. He asked the pilot to take him back to the piece of forest.
The pilot did not know the place, so the hunter showed it to him on the map. “But there is nowhere to land there,” said the pilot. “I have flown over that we can’t land anywhere between this river and these mountains.”
“I thought you were a wonderful pilot,” said the hunter, “some of my friends said you could land a plane on a postage stamp.”
“That’s right,” answered the pilot. “I can land a plane where nobody else can. But I tell you there is nowhere to land in the place you are talking about.”
“And what if I tell you that another pilot did land me there last spring?” said the hunter.
“Is that true?” asked the pilot.
“Yes, it is. I swear it.”
Well, this pilot could not let himself beaten by another, so he agreed to take the hunter.
When they reached the place, the hunter pointed out a small spot without trees in the middle of the forest, with a steep rise(陡坡) at one end. The pilot thought there was not enough room to land there, but the hunter said that the other pilot had done so the year before, so down went the plane. When it came to the rise, it turned right over onto its back. As the hunter climbed out, he smiled happily and said, “Yes, that is exactly how the other pilot managed it last time.”.
6. The hunter in the story went to the forest ______.
  A. once   B. two times   C. many times   D. none of the above
7. In the story the hunter asked a pilot to take him to the piece of forest. This pilot was ______.
  A. the same pilot who had taken him to the place once
  B. a different pilot who had never been to that part of the country
  C. a pilot who had been to the place many times
  D. a pilot who had never heard of such a place
8. It was difficult for the pilot to land the plane because ______.
  A. the place for landing was as big as a room
  B. the place for landing was as small as a postage stamp
  C. there wasn't any place to land
  D. there was a room near the landing place
9. “When it came to the rise, I turned right over onto its back.” What do the words “its back” refer to?
  A. the back of the rise            B. the pilot’s back
  C. the back of the plane           D. the back of the small spot
10. The hunter got to the plane the first time______.
  A. by jumping out of the place during the flight
  B. in an entirely different way
  C. exactly the same way as he got there the second time
  D. by climbing down the tree on which the place hand landed

( 1 )
On September 11, it seemed like New York and the people who lived there had changed forever. These days, however, it’s become obvious that, at least in one way, New Yorkers haven’t changed at all.
New Yorkers are famous for not agreeing on anything. Arguments, both good-natured and not, erupt(爆发) daily on everything from politics to food, world events to the price of vegetables. However, for a brief moment, a half-dozen architectural models managed to unite New York public opinion. The models were of proposed designs of buildings to replace the fallen World Trade Centre, and the overwhelming reaction was: “They stink” (糟透了).
Soon after the September 11 attack, the property’s owners had considered the idea of rebuilding the towers exactly as they had stood there. But critics pointed that the original designs were rather dull and their size made them impersonal and intimidating(令人畏惧的). Instead, they recommended a collection of smaller buildings including office space, retail stores and restaurants, and a memorial to the buildings and the people who died in them.
The public reaction to the models was almost completely negative, but that’s where the agreement ended. Some thought the new designs were too big, while others felt they weren’t big enough. Some complained they were too impersonal and didn’t reflect the humanity of the people who had died, while others said they weren’t impressive enough. Some suggested a more modern exterior, while some said it was already too modern and should have a more traditional look. With these ongoing disagreements, it’s likely that the reconstruction will take longer than expected.
1. What is mainly discussed in this passage?
  A. More people agree to rebuild the towers exactly as they had stood before.
  B. Proposed models have been accepted after heated arguments.
  C. New Yorkers are well known for debating daily on various kinds of issues.
  D. The debate on how to design buildings to replace the World Trade Centre is endless.
2. What can we learn about New Yorkers according to this passage?
  A. New Yorkers are very impersonal.
  B. New Yorkers have changed their life style after the September 11 attack.
  C. New Yorkers managed to unite public opinions.
  D. New Yorkers like to argue with each other for everything.
3. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to this passage?
  A. Someone suggested that the new building should have a more traditional look.
  B. People’s reaction to the models was positive.
  C. Someone suggested that the new building should include a memorial.
  D. Some thought the new designs were too big.
4. The reconstruction will take longer time because _______.
  A. designers have not made models
  B. people have not reached an agreement
  C. it is dangerous to construct high buildings in New York
  D. the property owners are afraid that companies will not move in
5. The word “exterior（Para.4）” is closest in meaning to _______.
  A. entrance    B. design     C. appearance     D. materials

A few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.
One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.
In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.
Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come.
6. The first paragraph tells us that ______.
A. the problem of the generation gap draws much attention from people
B. it is out of date to talk about the generation gap
C. children and parents are trying to understand each other
D. it is very important for people to frequently communicate with each other
7. In a more traditional society, old people_______.
A. have their children respect and listen to them
B. do not care for their children at all
   C. expect their children to rebel against them
   D. do not live together with their children
8. In American society young people________.
A. do not need to find jobs
B. leave home at an early age
C. have better education than their parents
D. marry people younger than them
9. Which of the following is NOT the cause of the generation gap?
A. Young people like to depend more on themselves.
B. Parents do not love their children dearly.
C. American society changes rapidly.
D. Parents expect too much of their children.
10. The main idea of the passage is ________.
A. that the generation gap needs considering
B. when the generation gap is necessary in American society
C. why the generation gap exist
D. how we can reduce the generation gap
