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 this 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 life-style of their neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series (系列) 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. Momands 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 Jonses in every city of the world.

Of course, many of us know we may eat the whole thing in the end.It isnt just girls. Most of us find it hard to say no to something attractive. However, scientists now say that willpower is very important to success and a happy life.Scientists in different countries have been studying the effects of willpower on peoples lives for a long time. The results are similar, according to an article on February 7 in the Guardian, a famous British newspaper.In one experiment, scientists told young children that they could either have a marshmallow (圆形软糖) now, or two marshmallows in 15 minutes. Waiting obviously needed more willpower. Scientists then continued studying the children as they grew up. They wanted to see if some children always had stronger willpower. They also wanted to see how having stronger willpower affected their lives. Years later, scientists found that the children who had waited for two marshmallows were all healthier, happier and richer adults. Oppositely, the children who had shown weaker willpower at that young age were more likely to be in low-paid jobs, to be overweight, to have social problems.But there is hope, Roy F Baumeister, an American social psychology(心理学) professor (教授) told the Guardian. Baumeister says we can train our willpower just like we train our muscles（肌肉）. Even a little practice can strengthen（加强） our overall self-control if we do it regularly. You could start by making yourself stand up straight, speaking in complete sentences, or using a computer mouse with the other hand. Scientists have found that people who manage to change little habits often perform much better in laboratory willpower tests.Like muscles, willpower can get tired. Dont try to do too many things at the same time, or when you dont have enough energy, for example when you are ill. If you already feel tired, you can try to recharge(恢复) your willpower with a good nights sleep and by eating well.（1）The example of a girl eating cheesecake is used to A . prove that girls have weak willpowerB . introduce the topic of willpower to the readersC . show that cheesecake is especially attractive to girlsD . show the connection between willpower and success（2）What can we infer from the experiment? A . The scientists had already known the results before the experiment.B . It showed that willpower is the most important to success and a happy life.C . The children who chose to wait were more likely to be successful in their lives.D . The children who chose only one marshmallow at first had stronger willpower.（3）Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the training of willpower? A . You should have a goal every day.B . Good rest and proper diet can help.C . Willpower needs to be exercised regularly.D . Keep willpower from being used too much.（4）What is the article mainly about? A . How willpower and muscles are similar and how they can be trained.B . How willpower affects peoples lives and how it is similar to muscles.C . How willpower is important to success and how we can make it stronger.D . How willpower is connected with success and how they affect each other二、 任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） (共1题；共10分)5. （10分）阅读下面短文，根据短文内容和情境把文章中的画线句子（英语或汉语）翻译成汉语或英语。 We are living in a world full of competition. Parents compete with others in their offices, our brothers and sisters compete with others in their colleges, and we compete with our classmates in schools. Most of us give up facing competition and will never be successful. Why cant we do better than others? One important reason is that we have no selfconfidence.事实上，人人生而平等。You can do what others do. Your classmates may be better than you in some ways, but you may be better than them in other subjects. So everyone has his or her advantages.Dont look at things from a single point of view. Try to discover your own advantages, and believe that you can do better than others in those ways.Competition is not so terrible. 不要害怕那些比你更优秀的同学。Remember that selfconfidence is the first step to success. Believe in yourselves, and you will be successful in any competition._三、 完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） (共1题；共15分)6. （15分）完形填空 Many books have been written about the art of giving.
