【题目】Are you bored with your daily life? Here are some things you should try before you are 18, because after that it’s too late.

Teams usually have a good social life------ you’ll go to lots of parties and make many friends.

Collect something

One of the best hobbies for under 18s is collecting things. You could collect kinds of stamps, or you could collect things that make you remember what you have done, like cinema tickets that you have seen or emails from friends.

【题目】Recently, a 17yearold girl named Cassandra Hsiao becomes hot in the world. Living in California,the girl has received offer letters(录取通知书) from all eight Ivy League colleges(常春藤名校), including Harvard, Princeton and Yale.

Cassandra's father came from Taiwan while her mother was from Malaysia(马来西亚). She was born in Malaysia, and her family moved to the United States when she was five. The family suffered a lot in the new country. Luckily, Cassandra works hard all the time. Cassandra wrote their stories on their hard struggles(奋斗) in the college essay, which was really touching the world.

“Your personal identity(个人身份) and sense of belonging(归属感) are two of the most important problems that people from other countries must face. I wanted to share a piece of our home life, my relationship with my mother and both of our stories,” she told BBC News.

“I miss Malaysia. Growing up, I loved flying kites, going to markets and setting off firecrackers(烟火). I spent my childhood talking in a mixture of Chinese, Malaysia and English,” she said lovingly.

It's difficult to deal with language difficulties. Once her mother was laughed at by her teacher and classmates for using wrong English in an English paper. But a kind girl stood up and argued with the classmates. She fought them back and help my mother correct her language mistakes.

“Later my mother asked me to teach her proper English starting with pronunciation. It has not been easy. I believe this article really shows values I hold close to my heart: Standing up for those without a voice, even when you think you haven't quite found your own yet,” said Cassandra.

【题目】In the United States, sometimes when one becomes rich, he wants everyone 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 a story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.

The expression was first used in1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23, and 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 rich people riding horses, Momand went horse-riding every day. When he saw that the rich 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 another one was always trying to keep up. The race ended when Momand and his wife finally found that they could no longer pay for their new way of life and had to move back to an old apartment in New York City.

Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do such things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series(系列)of short novels, and 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. Since then, Momand’s series came out 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 he does, a Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.

2It can be inferred(推测)from the story that rich people like to __________.

A. go horse-riding with neighbors B. live inside New York City

C. compare with others D. give big parties for servants

3Arthur Momand used the name “Jones” in his series of novels because “Jones” is __________.

A. an important name to Mr. Momand B. not a good name to Americans

C. Mr. Momand’s neighbor’s name D. a popular name in the United States

4The underlined sentence in the last paragraph(段落)tells us that __________.

A. keeping up with Joneses helps you to know what you’re able to do

B. according to the writer, it is impossible to keep up with the Joneses

C. people can be rich and successful by having competitions with others
