"What is it？"Napoleon asked．
"We have heard a story，"said the innkeeper，"that once during the war，a small village was taken by the Russians．You happened to be in the village．You hid while they looked for you．Will you tell us how you felt when they were looking for you？"Napoleon looked very angry．He called in two of his soldiers．Then he pointed to the door．The soldiers took the innkeeper and his wife out into the yard．
At the end of the yard was a wall．The innkeeper and his wife were led to the wall．The soldiers tied the hands of the innkeeper and his wife．Napoleon watched，saying nothing．

C．which priceD．its price
6．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 tries 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 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 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"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．

29．Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because theyA．
A．want others to know or to think that they are rich
B．hope to be rich people like their neighbors
C．want to hide their wealth from other people
D．would like to be common people

3．The world is filled with smart，educated and gifted people．We meet them every day．A few days ago，my car was not running well．I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic（技工） fixed it in just a few minutes．He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine sound．I was amazed．The sad truth is that great talent is not enough．
However，most workers"live within their means"：they work and they pay the bills．I suggest that young people find work for what they will learn，more than what they will earn．In my opinion，financial intelligence is important．
When I ask the classes I teach，"How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's？"almost all the students raise their hands．I then ask，"So if most of you can cook a better hamburger，how come McDonald's makes more money than you？"The answer is obvious：McDonald's is excellent at business systems．The world is filled with talented poor people．They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger．

I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America．I picked up the stem cells in Providence，Rhode Island，and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London．But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence，the lady on the desk said："Well，I'm really sorry，I've got some bad news for you-there are no flights from Washington．"So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said："In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient-please，please，you've got to get me back to the United Kingdom．"She just dropped everything．She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me，re-routed（改道）me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled．

Ride returned to space on the Challenger a second time in 1984．Between the two missions，she spent a total of 343hours in orbit．After that，she remained involved with the space program and also worked to share her passion for science with kids．She co-authored six science books for children，and started her own science and education company．
Ride knew that she held a unique place in history．"I realized how important it was for a woman to break that barrier and open the door for other women to be able to do the same exciting things that the men had been doing，"she said．
Since Ride's historic trip，more than 40other American women have traveled to space．They all had Ride to thank for opening the door to the final frontier．
