26、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 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 “Jonses” 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.

27、The movie theater is a fantasy land that takes the dreams of anyone. It attracts groups of different tastes. There are certain characteristics that distinguish these people from one another. And the characteristics also help guide directors towards what is going to be the next big cinematic presentation.
The Regulars
They are basically amateur movie critics themselves due to the amount of movies they watch. They do not decide more between movies and can generally see two or even three in one sitting. So older people are the regulars due to their plenty of free time they have.
The Young Parents
Children’s movies are their entertainment of choice, and they tend to choose light-hearted humor over everything. Usually friendly, this group are great at socializing. As for the movie category for children, directors trust this group as they know what is wanted and expected in the types of movies.
The Couple
They are quick to get into the cinema and usually buy what is required by the female partner. What is usually a similar theme in their movies is at least a hinting at a love story of some sort. These groups are excellent test subjects for the production of Nicholas Sparks type movies as they feel like their love story is the next big production and thus directors are drawn towards them.
The Noisy Teens
These types can interrupt a movie countless times. Though they may buy tons of food, they seem somehow not to send the food into their mouths and employees find much food is left on the floor as if a food fight went on during the film. Action and adventure movies come out usually for this crowd because the plot and fast-paced nature of the film usually keep the teens at bay for that time period.

28、Recently, we were given the opportunity to review a book written by a young author. When we received it, I noted how beautifully done it was. While often the case---we see beautifully written and illustrated books all the time---but how often do they come from a 10-year-old? Sewing a Friendship, written by a creative and talented young girl named Natalie Tinti, is such a book.
Developing friendships is an area that Natalie Tinti has researched in her own life. In her book, Sewing a Friendship, she tells what great things can happen if kids take a step toward friendship.
Tinti’s characters in Sewing a Friendship have colorful and creative personalities. Jonsy Jipsy loves singing and belly dance. Sokron Blossom lives in a neat and tidy world and loves to read fashion magazines. Meeka likes brain games and Nina is happy with her life and the music it brings her.
All but one of the characters seems happy with their lives. One of the girls, Kiki Shaver, was sad to live in a small home with her aunt and uncle. She had no friend and didn’t know how to make them. When four girls invites her into the circle of their friendship, it’s no wonder that Kiki is hesitant and uneasy.
The story continues as the four girls invite and accept a “ not so likeable” girl into their circle to win a fashion show. The girls feel a strong bond of friendship after the show. Kiki then understands that taking a step towards friendship is better than being alone. All the girls learn that by having the courage to include others, you can “ sew a friendship”.
Today, it seems that almost every news headline begins with a child’s suicide---or murder---because of being bullied(欺侮)，not having friends or family to discuss issues with and feelings of low self –respect. What’s causing these senseless terrible events? If more kids would invite the outcasts（被驱逐者） into their circle of friends, lives would be saved as well as pointed in another direction.
Natalie Tinti finds her voice in Sewing a Friendship ---and shows a talent that’s rare for such a young girl. Recommended reading for all young adult fans.
【1】 The first paragraph serves as a(n) ______.
A. background B. explanation
C. summary D. introduction
【2】The author seems to agree that ______.
A. bullying is the main cause of children’s suicides
B. we should not expect too much from friendship
C. friendship has the power to prevent sad events
D. one should not forget his old circle of friends

A. Disappointing. B. Unexpected
C. Uncertain. D. Satisfying

A. praise B. delight

29、Jack was born without eyes. He was very lucky as he grew up having other kittens (young cats) to socialize (交往) with, and was used to people from the moment he was born. However, when it came time to find the kittens homes, no one knew where Jack would end up.
That’s when I got an e-mail from my friend. All she asked was “Do you still want one of the kittens? There’s one here with no eyes and no one would like to take him”. Without thinking I told her that I did want the kitten.
When we first brought him home, Jack stayed mostly in my room. After about a day he had no issues running around and climbing on everything. At times he gets lost in the house, he’ll stop. But we just call his name and talk to him and it isn’t long before he finds his way back to us.
A few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new cat named Bear. Jack and Bear have become best friends. It doesn’t matter that he can’t see. He always knows when Bear is around. He’ll run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. They run after each other around and wrestle (摔跤). They’ll lie down in the grass together when tired.
Jack is truly an inspiration. I’ve owned lots of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest and most playful. He doesn’t feel sorry for himself. He doesn’t need pity. I think Jean, owner of Gumbo, another eyeless cat, said it best when she told me that cats don’t have disabilities; they have adaptability.
【1】Why did Jack come to the author’s home?
A．The author cared for an eyeless cat.
B．The author didn’t mind whether he was blind.
C．No other young cats kept him company.
D．The author’s friend begged the author to take him home.

B．Jack likes to play with a new eyeless cat.
C．Jack quickly adapts to the new environment.
D．Jack is good at talking and playing with people.
【4】What does the passage mainly tell us?
A．A cat has nine lives.
B．All is well that ends well.
C．God helps those who help themselves.
D．A good beginning makes a good ending.

30、Every January for the past 20 years, I have taken a few moments to carefully think about the answer to the big question, “What is the meaning of life?”
I ask this question year after year, because my answer changes _________, which I find interesting and insightful. There is no objectively(客观地) correct _________, I believe, only answers that are _________ for you at any given time.
Great _________ have given the question thought, so you can look to the words _________ to them for _________, Russian author Leo Tolstoy wrote, “The sole (唯一的) _________ of life is to serve humanity.” Albert Einstein _________ it this way: “Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.” And Martin Luther King Jr. expressed the view as a(n) _________: “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is ‘What are you doing for others?’”
Others came to the __________ conclusion, in their own words. For instance, Scottish rugby legend(传奇人物) Nelson Henderson stated the view __________ when he said, “The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose __________ you do not expect to sit.” And actress Whoopi Goldberg’s meaning—of—life metaphor was to “throw little torches out to lead people through the dark”.
“There is not one big cosmic meaning for all,” author Ana’s Nin wrote. I __________, which is why I recommend __________ your own answer. And suggest answering it every year. And the last part of this experiment is to try to turn your answer into __________. If “love” is the answer, then love more. Whatever small step you take toward finding the meaning of life is a step toward a more meaningful, and longer, life.
