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 neighbours.
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 neighbourhood 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 neighbours.
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 neighbours. 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.
【小題1】Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they ________.

A.want to be as rich as their neighbours
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 be happy
【小題2】It can be inferred (推斷) 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 neighbours
【小題3】Arthur Momand used the name “Jones” in his series of short stories because “Jones” is ________.
A.a(chǎn)n important nameB.a(chǎn) popular name in the United States
C.his neighbour’s nameD.not a good name
【小題4】If a person who keeps up with the Joneses, he would _________.
A.do as the poor persons around him do
B.do everything he likes to do
C.do as his neighbours do
D.do as the rich people around him do

I remember my maths teacher Mr Young very well. He stood out because the kids made fun of him. He was missing one of his fingers. In school Maths was my worst subject. I don’t think there was ever a day I went to school that I was not afraid.
One day, I was told that if I got one more E on my report card, my parents would be called to school.
I tried really hard for weeks to learn Maths. I just couldn’t understand how to make different parts of numbers into whole things; my brain just couldn’t do it, no matter how hard I tried.
The day before report cards were to come out, I knew that Mr Young would give me an E, just like he always did.
After class ended, I went to Mr Young and told him what would happen if I got another E. He told me there was nothing he could do; it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I looked at the teacher and said, “Mr Young, you know how all the kids make fun of you because you’re missing your finger?”
He looked at me, and said nothing.
“They shouldn’t do that to you because you can’t help not having a finger, Mr Young. Just like I can’t help not being able to learn numbers and matters like that,” I said.
Again, he said nothing as he looked down at his desk, and began grading papers.
The next day, when I got my report card, I looked at my grades: Geography: B- , English: D-  , History: C- , Gym: B+ , Art: C, Maths: D- .
That Math grade was the most favorite one I ever received in my whole life. I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
【小題1】Where was Mr Young different from others?

A.He had only nine fingers in all.
B.He played jokes with students.
C.He usually gave higher mark to students.
D.He taught Maths in an interesting way.
【小題2】What would happen to the writer if he got another E?
A.He would be asked to leave school.
B.He might be punished by his parents.
C.He would not be allowed to play any more.
D.He would be laughed at by other students.
【小題3】The writer got a Math D- at last because            .
A.he achieved a higher level after working hard
B.Mr Young was afraid of being made fun of again
C.Mr Young knew the trouble of being poor in mind
D.Mr Young thanked him for telling him the opinions of students
【小題4】The story tells us that              .
A.students should respect(尊敬) the disabled teachers
B.teachers should treat all the students fairly
C.students need to be cared for in their study,
D.teachers should have an understanding of the students
