15、d 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 1913
16、 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, M
17、omand 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
18、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 st
19、ories. 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. Momands series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.Peopl
20、e 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.24. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they
21、 _.A. want to be as rich as their neighborsB. want to be happyC. dont want others to know they are richD. want others to know or to think that they are rich25.

23、correctD. goodCNot long ago, “blind box economy” suddenly became popular, winning the heart of large numbers of faithful fans. People simply get interested in it. A couple spent 200 thousand yuan on them. Another sixty-year-old guy spent over 700 thousand yuan in buying blind boxes. Statistics showe
24、d that last year 300 thousand hobbyists made deals through a second-hand shopping platform.The blind boxes usually contain peripheral (周边的) dolls of comics and animation, or film and television, or specially designed ones. A single blind box usually costs about thirty to fifty yuan. But there is no
25、mark on the box, and only after opening it can the buyer see what he has bought. This is rather like buying lottery tickets, for the buyer has to bet on his luck.However, addiction to blind box is much like that to gambling (赌博). It is highly nontransparent compared with lottery ticket. Nobody knows
26、 whether sellers of blind boxes exaggerated (夸大) the winning rate so as to attract people to buy them, thus digging a consumption trap. Besides, it is also unknown whether the objects in the blind boxes are genuine or not. The blind box economy promoted its second-hand trade. The price of some class
27、ic dolls or dolls of limited edition have skyrocketed in second-hand trade platforms, and some may reach thirty to forty times. But it is difficult for buyers to judge whether it is the result of real supply and demand, or the consequence of businessmens tricks.The basis of the “blind box economy” i
28、s the cultural trend of collection. Many of the target consumers are young people who have scanty experience of life. They are thus attracted by deliberately exaggerated probability of “winning a prize” and constantly throw money to buy blind boxes in order to gain dolls that they desire. Or they ma
29、y buy at second-hand trade platform high-priced blind box dolls, thinking they can keep value preservation and appreciation, thus falling into the fixed pattern of trap carefully designed by businessmen.Therefore, it is necessary to remind young people to control their consumption in case they becom
30、e addicted.28. A couple and a sixty-year-old guy are mentioned in Para.1 to _.A. stress the importance of “blind box economy” to peopleB. tell how much money people spend on “blind box economy”C. show the popularity of “blind box economy” among peopleD. prove older people can afford more to buy “bli
31、nd box economy”29. Which may NOT be the contributing factor to “blind box economy”?A. The fondness of gambling to bet on their luck.B. The high winning rate exaggerated by sellers.C. The blind faith in the cultural trend of collectionD. The possibility of making a fortune in second-hand trade.30. Th

40、, they were sitting on the couch, looking at each other. All their embarrassment had gone. Daisys face was covered with tears. But there was a change in Gatsby that really surprised me.
