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.

( ) 51. 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

( ) 52. It can be inferred (推断) from the story that rich people like to _______.

A. live outside New York City B. live in New York city

C. live in apartments D. have many neighbours

( ) 53. Arthur Momand used the name “Jones” in his series of short stories because “Jones” is _______.

A. an important name B. a popular name in the United States

C. his neighbour’s name D. not a good name

( ) 54. According to the writer, it is _______ to keep up with the Joneses.

A. correct B. interesting C. impossible D. good

( ) 55. From the text, we know that _______.

A. All the neighbors of Momand like to keep up with the Joneses. ’t want to keep up with rich lifestyles.

C. Momand never seems to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses.

D

Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa. It is also the second largest

lake in the world. It is an important lake because it is one of the sources(源头)

for the longest river in the world, the Nile River. Lake Victoria provides a

source of water, food, and power for several African countries. Lake Victoria is a big part of African life.

Unfortunately, Lake Victoria has a problem. It is shrinking. There are several power stations at Lake Victoria in Uganda. These are on the Nile River, and besides producing power, they keep the water of the lake at a certain level. For the past forty years, that level has been 11.9 meters. Over the last several years, the water level has dropped by about 2.5 meters. There seem to be several reasons for this drop.

One possible reason is drought(干旱). Drought has been very bad in the area since 2000. Lake Victoria gets all of its water from rain, so the drought means less water in the lake.

However, some environmentalists believe that the real problem is the power plants(工厂) on Lake Victoria. Uganda depends on those power plants for most of its power, and they made the power plants larger in 2000. Many people believe the power plants have been taking too much water off Lake Victoria. As a result, they have been asked to use less water until Lake Victoria goes back to its old level.

Whether the low water level is caused by drought or power plants, the result is the same. This is already a poor area of Africa, where many people live a really hard life. People, animals
