举一反三
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 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(仆人) 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. Momand" s 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 "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.
小题1:Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they _______.
A.want to be as rich as their neighbors
B.want others to know or to think that they are rich
C.don"t want others to know they are rich
D.want to make themselves happy
小题2:It can be inferred(推断)from the story that rich people like to_______.
A.live outside New York CityB.live in New York city
C.live in apartmentsD.have many neighbors
小题3:According to the writer, it is_______ to keep up with the Joneses.
A.correctB.interestingC.impossibleD.good
小题4:Which of the following activities probably does not belong to the rich people?

What do people do with their old, useable but outdated(过时的) computers? Most people don’t know what to do with them. Many old computers end up gathering(聚集) dust in homes. Many more are thrown out with the trash.
Finally, some computers are thinking of ways to reduce(减少) the amount of computer junk. Sony has agreed to help recycle(回收)old Sony products. Dell, Hewlett-Packard and others now also take back some equipment.
Laws(法律)are being passed, too. In Europe, computer companies will have to pay for collecting and recycle old Sony products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay the cost.
Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations are working to solve this problem. These groups collect and repair old computers. Some also teach computer repair skills.
The computers then go to schools, charities(慈善机构) and needy individuals. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s trash into someone else’s treasure(财富) and cut down on waste, too.
小题1:Nobody knows what to do with their old computer.
小题2:Many old computers are in homes, covered with dust.
小题3:Dell is one of the companies which are thinking of ways to reduce the amount of computer junk.
小题4:If computer companies want to collect and recycle their used products, they have to pay money.
小题5:Hundreds of organizations only collect and repair old computers
小题6:The story talks about ways to deal with used computers.
