16、le 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 neighbours. 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
17、age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighbourhood 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
18、a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbours. 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.
19、 Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbours. 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.
20、 “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. People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Jonses” in every city of the world.

23、 is _.A. an important name B. a popular name in the United StatesC. his neighbours name D. not a good name42. According to the writer, it is _ to keep up with the Joneses.A. correct B. interesting C. impossible D. good The word “death” is a word many Chinese friends tell me I should not say aloud. T
24、hey advise me to avoid the word because only speaking of it may bring ill fortune. I deeply believe, however, that to know how to live, we must also know how to die. The problem is how do we talk about death? Like everyone in Taiwan this week, I have had “Tomb Sweeping Day”. I am proud to be part of
25、 a people whose culture sends millions of families to cemeteries on this special day to share memories and endless love. Today, eight days after the death of Pope John Paul II, millions of people of all backgrounds still grieve(悲痛) his passing away. He was a deeply human person who knew how to laugh

27、d. She was an attractive, humorous young woman who, as the saying goes, “never married”. She published several humor books with her mother, Mary McBride.

She joked about her treatment keeping her pretty because it kept her thin, and told me she didnt mind losing her hair because of chemo therapy. “I get to wear nice wigs!（假发）” The last time I saw Veronica was when I visited her family on a sunny day in August in 2003. When she burst into the fro
29、nt door later and saw me in the living room, she ignored me completely in her hurry to hug her newest baby nephew, leaving me shaking my head in laughter at her.

And the minibus which goes along with
41、 the boat. We stopped off in Barn for an hour on the way. Then we were taken to Nancy where the boat was kept.After the other passengers arrived, we had our first dinner on the boat. After dinner we walked into downtown Nancy, a village with a large square and wooden houses.Monday, October 5Rained l
42、ast night, cloudy in the morning, 69FWe spent about two hours in Nancy, then sailed on the Canal de la Marne au Rhine. Kind of a lazy day. Eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner, after dinner we watched a tape on Baccarat, where we will visit tomorrow.It was pleasant to sit out on deck （甲板）and watch th
43、e scenery go by at about 3 mph.Monday, October 7Light rain, 64FThis morning we drove over to Baccarat and toured its museum and the church , which has this unbelievable lamp that is going on a world tour the next day.

44、n Catholic church with special Baccarat windows.We drove to the top of the Voges Mountains and started down the eastern side.

45、 8Cloudy.65 FToday we sailed from Schneckenbush to Saverne. We went through two caves, an extremely unusual part of the journey. This river scenery is very different. We were in a mountain valley with grassland on one side and a forest beginning to show some color on the other.60. Where did the auth
46、or get off the train? A. Paris B. Strasbourg C. Nancy D. Barn61. From the text, we learn that Baccarat and Sorrenbourg are the names of A. towns B. churches C. museums D. mountains62. What does the author think of the tour? A. Tiring B. Expensive C. Enjoyable D. Boring*结束 Grown-ups know that people
47、and objects are solid. At the movies, we know that if we reach out to touch Tom Cruise, all we will feel is air. But does a baby have this understanding? To see whether babies know objects are solid, T. Bower designed a method for projecting an optical illusion (视觉影像) of a hanging ball. His plan was
48、 to first give babies a real ball, one they could reach out and touch, and then to show them the illusion. If they knew that objects are solid and they reached out for the illusion and found empty air, they could be expected to show surprise in their faces and movements. All the 16-to 24- week -old
49、babies tested were surprised when they reached for the illusion and found that the ball was not there. Grown-ups also have a sense of object permanence. We know that if we put a box in a room and lock the door, the box will still be there when we come back. But does a baby realize that a ball that r
50、olls under a chair does not disappear and go to never-never land? Experiments done by Bower suggest that babies develop a sense of object permanence when they are about 18 weeks old. In his experiments, Bower used a toy train that went behind a screen. When 16-week-old and 22-week-old babies watched
51、 the toy train disappear behind the left side of the screen, they looked to the right, expecting it to reappear. If the experimenter took the train off the table and lifted the screen, all the babies seemed surprised not to see the train. This seems to show that all the babies had a sense of object
52、permanence. But the second part of the experiment showed that this was not really the case. The researcher substituted（替换）a ball for the train when it went behind the screen. The 22-week-old babies seemed surprised and looked back to the left side for the train. But the 16-week-old babies did not se
53、em to notice the switch(更换). Thus, the 16-week-old babies seemed to have a sense of “something permanence,” while the 22-week-old babies had a sense of object permanence related to a particular object. 60. The passage is mainly about _. A. babies sense of sight B. babies understanding of objects C.
54、effects of experiments on babies D. different tests on babies feelings 61. In Paragraph 3, “object permanence” means that when out of sight, an object _. A. still stays solid B. keeps its shape C. still exists D. is beyond reach 62. What did Bower use in his experiments? A. A screen. B. A chair. C. A film. D. A box. B-60. B 61. C 62. A*结束
