And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what keeping up withthe 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. 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 “Joneses” in every city of the world.

You must first go where there are people. You wont make friends staying home alone.Many people are nervous when talking with others. After all, meeting strangers means facing the unknown. And its human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown. Most of our fears about dealing with new people come from doubts (怀疑) about ourselves. We consider that other people are judging (评判) us, finding us too small or too short, too this or too that. But dont forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself, and try to put the other person at ease. Then youll feel more comfortable. Try to act with self-confidence (自信) although you dont feel that way. Walk with your back straight, look directly at other people and smile. If you see someone youd like to speak to, tell something to him / her. Dont wait for others to start a conversation.Just meeting someone new doesnt mean that you will make friends with that person. Friendship is give and take. It takes time and energy to develop. And there are things that keep a new friendship from growing.（1）What does the first paragraph mainly tell us? A . People need friends.B . Its hard to make friends.C . The ways to make friends.D .

Did you know that although peanuts look like nuts and taste like nuts, they arent nuts at all? They belong to the pea family, so they are called peanuts. The peanut grows flowers above ground, but its fruit grows underground. It grows in more countries than most other nuts”.The peanut is a native South American plant. Scientists believe that it grew wild in Brazil long ago. They think that for several thousand years the early peoples of South America made it a part of their diet. These peoples were nomads who moved on when a natural food could no longer be found in one area. Along the way they probably let fall some peanuts, which got into the ground and grew. This is believed to be the way the plant reached the place where the Incas（印加人）lived. The Incas, from about 1100 to 1532, thought highly of peanuts. The peanuts were eaten in several forms and used as sacrificial offerings（祭品）to the Incan Sun God. Later in the 16th century, European soldiers had brought peanuts to other parts of the world, including North America, Africa, Asia, Europe, and Pacific Islands.Although peanuts were found native in South America, they are now grown in almost every country that has warm weather. India produces the most peanuts. Chinas production is next, followed by the United States.The peanut is special in more ways than one. It can be eaten raw, boiled, roasted, or fried. Hundreds of widely different products have been made from it. Carver, an American scientist, set himself the task of discovering new uses for eating and for many other products.Peanuts are very highly nutritious and are also high in protein （蛋白质）. Americans use about seven-tenths of their protein in the form of meat. In India, where the poor cant pay for meat or milk, peanut meal and peanut milk have been produced. These have been a great help to the poor.New products are continually being made from peanuts, among them peanut cheese and a powder that becomes peanut butter when water is added. The fact is that peanuts are so healthy that they were used by astronauts. The unusual nut that isnt a nut is one of natures most amazing gifts.（1）Although we like eating peanuts, many of us dont know peanuts belong to _ family.A . the peaB . the nutC . both the pea and the nutD . neither the pea nor the nut（2）Which paragraph（段落）mainly talks about the history of the peanut?A . Paragraph FourB . Paragraph ThreeC . Paragraph TwoD . Paragraph One（3）What does the underlined wordnutritiousmean?A . Helpful for staying healthyB . Helpful to the poor.C . Delicious and tasty.D . Rich in fat and oil.（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?A . Nomads always stayed in the same placeB . The peanut was first found in South America.C . Astronauts ate lots of peanuts to keep healthy.D . China grows fewer peanuts than the US.（5）What is the purpose of the article?A . To show that peanuts belong to the pea family.B . To show that peanuts belong to the pea family.C . To show that peanuts belong to the pea family.D . To show that peanuts belong to the pea family.E .

Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), did a study on cat colours and peoples understandings of cat personalities.The study found that people do judge(判断) cat personalities by color. Scientists did a survey(调查) on the Internet. There were 49 statements (描述) matching five cat colorings with 10 personalities. People think orange and bi-colored (双色的) cats are friendly, tri-colored (三色的) cats are not generous, and white cats are calm, lazy and shy. As for black cats, people think they dont have special personalities.But why do so many people dislike keeping black cats as pets? People think black cats have less special personalities, which might be because of their bad reputation (口碑). They think black cats may bring bad luck, especially at Halloween. Movies and television shows also make people believe that.Although people have these ideas, UC Berkeley scientists give another reason: people dont think black cats are pretty enough. After all, nothing can show black cats are unluckier than other cats. “You cant judge a cat by its color, because its the personality of the cat, not the color, that will let you know if the cat is right for you,” Cathy Marden, a scientist said.（1）Many people in Western countries may think black cats are _. A . lovely animalsB . a sign of bad luckC . a sign of good luckD . unfriendly animals（2）The main idea of paragraph 2 is that _. A . people often complain(抱怨) about black cats on the InternetB . people think cats of different colors have different personalitiesC . black cats are less popular than other catsD . the study is a great success（3）According to the study, people think that_. A . black cats have special personalitiesB . orange and bi-colored cats are generousC . cats with three colors are friendlyD . white cats are calm, lazy and shy（4）People dont like black cats for the following reasons EXCEPT _. A . black cats often appear in TV showsB . black cats bring bad luck to peopleC . black cats have bad reputationsD . they dont think black cats are beautiful（5）The passage mainly talks about _.
