28、It is said that in the United States much has been told about that anyone can become rich and successful if he works hard and has some good luck.

Yes, when one becomes rich he wants people to know it. And even though he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That’s what “Keeping up with the Joneses” is about. The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. Momand looked around him and noticed that many people did things to keep up with their neighbours: they tried to look as rich and successful as their neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a number 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 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. That is one reason why they read “right” books, go to “right” universities and eat in “right” restaurants.

Every city has an area where people want to live because others will think better of them if they do. 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.

【1】Why, according to the passage, do many people try to keep up with the Joneses?

A．Because they feel proud to be taken for the Joneses.

B．Because they want others to know or think they are rich.

C．Because they are afraid that others will know they are rich.

D．Because they want to be as rich as their neighbours.

【2】On the whole, the passage is about ________.

A．Americans’ thought of being well-known for richness

B．the relationship among American people

C．Americans competing with each other

D．more chances of becoming rich in the US

【3】What does the author mean when he says “right” books?

A．Books that teach people how to get rich and successful.

B．Books by famous and successful writers.

C．Very expensive books.

D．Books that other people around are reading.

【4】What does the author mean by “Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead”?

A．It seems that one can never keep up with all people around.

B．It seems that Mr. Jones is a very rich man.

C．It seems that one has to work hard to get rich.

D．It seems that Mr. Jones is always walking ahead of others.

【5】What is the author’s opinion?

A．It is necessary to keep up with the Joneses.

B．It is hard to keep up with the people around you.

C．It is meaningless to try to keep up with the people around you.

D．It is funny to try to keep up with the Joneses.

29、The next generation of artificial intelligence (AI) may be sitting right beneath you, at least if furniture maker Ikea has any say in the matter. The Swedish furniture company’s “future-living” research lab in Copenhagen is conducting a survey to understand what people want when it comes to smart furniture.

AI is now walking into more aspects of people’s daily lives. Self-driving cars are just around the corner, and AI robots can play and beat the best players of strategy games. As smart home technologies have become more ubiquitous, products ranging from smart electrical outlets (插座) to smart smoke alarms are flooding the market. Therefore, it’s not surprising that Ikea would be moving in the same direction.

Exactly why people would want their sofa or bed frame to speak to then, track their daily movements or offer help is not yet clear. Though Ikea’s the new survey doesn’t directly answer that question, it does provide a hint of what people would feel comfortable with. Most participants wanted a more human-like form of virtual (虚拟的) assistants, as opposed to one that is more robotic. In terms of the ideal gender (性别) of the assistants, the most popular choice was neither male nor female. Few wanted a religious form of AI.

Just as with human friends, most wanted AI friends that were like them, affirming their own worldview. They wanted an AI assistant that was reasonably intelligent-that could collect data to predict what a person wanted before he or she asked, and that could prevent someone from making mistakes.

This is not the first time that Ikea has set foot in the field or futuristic technologies. In addition to wireless charging tables and chainless bikes that never rust, the furniture giant has also pictured smart kitchens that can cook the best meal. To decide on how intelligent you want your next sofa or bookshelf to be, you can take Ikea’s survey online.

【1】The survey carried out by Ikea aims to ________.

A．know peoples need for smart furniture

B．understand future lifestyle

C．promote the company’s smart furniture

D．answer people’s questions

【2】What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Beautiful.

B．Common.

C．Normal.

D．Environmental.

【3】What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A．The differences between robot-like and human-like assistants.

B．What form of AI assistants people want.

C．What kind of friends people want.

D．The popular robots on the market.

【4】Most participants in the survey wanted an AI assistant that could ________.

A．help them become smarter

B．communicate with them without troubles

C．have its own worldview

D．deal with their problems in advance

【5】Which of the following products are from Ikea?

A．Smart sofas that can speak to you.

B．Smart beds that can track your daily movements.
