13、ome 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 neighbours. The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began ea
14、rning $ 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 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. Moman
15、d and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbours. 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
16、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 life-style of their neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series (系列) of short stories, He called it Keeping up with the Joneses because Jones is a ver
17、y common name in the United States. Keeping up with the Joneses came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you.

According to the writer, it is _ to keep up with the Joneses. A. correct B. interesting C. impossible D. goodDBad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No new
21、s is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking peoples e-mails and online posts, scientists have
22、found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories. “The if it bleeds rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and dont care how youre feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you
23、 care a lot more how they react. You dont want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.” Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communicatione-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversationsfound that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but that didnt necessarily mean people pref
24、erred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times website. He and a Penn colle
25、ague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others. Reader
26、s also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it
27、 was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.” 33 .What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?A. News reports. B. Research papers.C .Private e-mails. D. Daily conversations34. What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?A. Theyre soc
28、ially inactive.B. Theyre good at telling stories.C. Theyre inconsiderate of others.D. Theyre careful with their words.35.Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Bergers research?A . Sports new. B. Science articles.C. Personal accounts. D. Financial reviews.第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据
