13．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 1913by a young American called Arthur Momand．He told this story about himself．He began earning $ 125a 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 28years．
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．

10．Living in a modern society has its advantages and disadvantages．One disadvantage is that you often have to live closer to other people than you would like to．Sometimes，your neighbors make noise that you are not comfortable with．
The best way to solve this problem is to talk with your neighbor first．You should be very polite and ask your neighbor if he knows how thin the walls of your homes are．This way doesn't criticize （批评） his behavior； it simply points out that he may not realize how far his sound travels．Tell him that you know that sometimes you make noise as well，but that you do your best to keep it down．Often this will solve the problem right away，but sometimes the neighbor may become angry．
If your neighbor becomes angry with you，there are some more steps you can take．You might write a letter to the neighborhood committee．Make sure you write down the source of the noise and the time in the letter．They will review the situation and decide whether your neighbor is out of line．Some noise is considered to be reasonable，even if it bothers you．So you may prepare a good pair of earplugs （耳塞）．
Even if your neighbor makes too much noise，you don't have to live your life in discomfort．It's always a good idea to be friendly with your neighbors．You may clean the rubbish in front of his door．He's sure to appreciate behavior like this and be more open to your suggestions about noise level．
56．What is the first step to deal with the noisy neighbor？D
A．To buy a good pair of earplugs．

17．From my earlier memory of Mother it somehow seemed quite natural to think of her as different，nor of everyday things as Father was．In those days he was a young-looking man．He did not hesitate to make friends with children as soon as they were able to talk to him and laugh at his stories．Mother was older than he was．She must have been a woman of nearly forty，but she seemed even older．She changed little for a long time，showing no indication of growing old at all until，towards the end of her life，she suddenly became an old lady．
I was always inquisitive about Mother's age．She never had birthdays like other people，nor did anyone else in our family．No candles were ever lit or cakes made or presents given in our house．To my friends in the street who talked delightfully about their birthday parties，I would repeat my mother's words that such celebrations were only foolish．
"Nothing but deception，"she would say．"As though life can be marked by birthdays．It's deeds，not years，that matter．"
Although I often repeated her words and even prided myself on not having birthdays，I once could not help asking Mother when she was born．
"I was born．I'm alive as you can see，so what more do you want to know？"she replied，so sharply that I never asked her about her age again．
In so many other ways Mother was different．Whereas all the rest of the women I knew in the neighboring hoses took pride in their housewifely abilities，their new furniture，the neat appearance of their homes，Mother regarded all those things as of little importance．Our house always looked as if we had just moved in or were about to move out．

7．He hurried to the station only _______ that the train had left．（　　）

14．Wicked!Notice the intonation（语调）．It means"wonderful"，"great"，"cool"，"splendid"．It came into English from United States'slang（俚语） in the 1980s or maybe earlier．Certainly it arrived in Britain in the late 1980s．
It was part of a trend（趋势） which goes back decades to use bad words to mean good things，or some good words to mean bad things．I mean you might remember saying，"That's great"meaning"It isn't great"．And always there's been this use of the word"naughty"to mean"nice"．
It's mainly used as an adjective in front of a noun，for example"We had a wicked time!"Or，of course，you can use it alone by just saying"Wicked!"as a reaction-that's how youngsters use it．And youngsters，of course，knowing that grown-ups are now using it as well，have decided to use other bad words in the same sort of way-I've heard young people in recent years use words like"evil"meaning"good"，or"brutal"meaning"good"．
"Wicked"is still around．This means，of course，that the traditional sense of"wicked"is now being squeezed（挤） out．So with"wicked"，intonation（语调） is the only way to tell the old meaning from the new meaning，so you have to be careful，and pay very careful attention to the context．
And please pay attention that the use of the word is spreading．The other day，for the first time，I heard somebody say"wicked cool"，meaning"very cool"．
24．What does the text mainly tell readers？B
A．The changing meaning of English words．
B．The change of the word"wicked"in meaning．
C．The way to use English words．
D．English words from American slang．
25．The author tells readers to pay attention to the intonation of the word"wicked"becauseC．
A．the word is easy to misunderstand
B．there is another word with the same pronunciation
C．its intonation decides its meaning
D．there are many meanings of the word
26．According to the text，which of the following words is often used to express its opposite meaning？D
A．Cool．
B．Wonderful．
C．Splendid．
D．Evil．
27．According to the text，we know that the word"wicked"A．
A．has been used in Britain for more than 20years
B．is only used in front of a noun
C．has lost its old meaning
D．was first used by American children．

11．We'll use up all the coal underground．We have to develop new kinds ofenergy （能源）．

12．We all have our favorite teachers--those who seem truly interested and treat us kindly．But what about teachers we don't know or even don't like much？
You can do lots of things to get a good connection with your teachers．First，do the right things：show up for class on time，with all assignments completed．Be active，be respectful，and ask questions you can't solve by yourself．
Show an interest in the subjects．Obviously，your teachers are really interested in their subjects or they wouldn't have decided to teach them!Showing the teachers that you care--even if you're not a math genius or fluent in English--sends the message that you are a good student．
You can also plan a private conference during a teacher's free period．Use this time to get extra help，ask questions，or talk about your progress in class．You may be surprised to learn that your teacher is a bit more relaxed one-on-one than when talking in front of the whole class．
Here are some things to avoid when you are trying to build a good relationship with your teachers：
Not being sincere．Teachers sense it when your only goal is to get special treatment，a college reference，or a job chance．
Trying to be teachers'pet．Your behavior will come off as insincere and your classmates may start to resent you．
Giving expensive gifts．It's OK to offer some kind of gift to show your appreciation to teachers if they've been helpful to you．But giving expensive things could send the wrong message，and a teacher is usually not allowed to accept anything expensive．

21．The passage mainly gives advice onD．
A．how to get good points in exams at school
B．how to develop interest in a boring subject
C．how to choose proper gifts for your teachers
D．how to build good teacher-student relations
22．What does the underlined word"resent"probably mean？A
A．Hate．B．Admire．C．Ignore．D．Follow．

A．You can ask questions about personal life．
B．Your teacher will feel relaxed to talk to you．
C．You can make more progress than others in class．
D．Your teacher will try hard to answer your questions．
