21、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 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(公寓房间) 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(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. 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.

22、Should we teenagers help our parents do chores? Is it important for us to learn how to do chores? I think so. Most of the teenagers like us are the only child in each family. So our parents love us very much. They do everything for us and don’t want us to do any housework. I think it’s bad for us. Here is a real story.

I have a friend named Liu Ning. She is the only child in her family.

Her parents love her very much that they don’t let her do any chores.

Every day she only gets up, has meals, goes to school, comes home, does homework and goes to bed. So she doesn’t know how to do chores. One day, her father was badly ill and had an operation(手术) in a hospital. Her mother had to take care of her father in the hospital and couldn’t cook the dishes for her. Liu Ning didn’t know how to cook the meals. She often felt hungry. Later she even had instant noodles only for her meals. From the story we know it’s very important for us to learn to do chores and other skills from now on.

23、If you need to call your parents but your phone is not with you, can you remember their numbers?

To remember a series of numbers is not that difficult. However, many of us are losing this ability because of the smartphone. What’s more, smartphones weaken our skills at giving directions, as well as killing face-to-face conversations. Even when friends are having a meal together, it’s common for most of them to check their phones from time to time.

According to a report by Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers, an American company, Chinese people spend about 170 minutes on their smartphones daily.

Many students are addicted to using smartphones. It does no good to their study. Research by Japan’s Education Ministry showed children who spend more than four hours a day on their phones get much lower scores in school test than those who play with their phones for less than 30 minutes.

It’s true that the smartphone has made our lives easier. But many also think people spend too much time on it, and this is bad for their study or work. People are trying to change that.

A new app called Forest was introduced this month. It lets users plant a seed that grows into a tree over the next 30 minutes. Within the half hour, users cannot use their phones, or the tree will die.

A restaurant in Los Angeles, US, gives people a 5% discount if they don’t check their phones when they are having a meal. The owner of the restaurant Mark Gold said he hopes it gives people a way to enjoy their meal and actually talk with their friends and family in person.

【1】Many people can’t remember their parents’ phone numbers because they ________.

A．don’t care about their parents

B．get used to using their smartphones

C．find it difficult to remember numbers

D．don’t know how to remember numbers

B．喜爱

C．习惯

D．擅长

【3】The app “Forest” is used to ________.

A．encourage people to plant more trees

B．get people to change their smartphones

C．help people better control smartphone using

D．offer people a new game to enjoy themselves

【4】By giving people a 5% discount, Owner Mark Gold wants his customers to ________.

A．enjoy a cheaper meal

B．say no to smartphones
