英语口语考试模拟试题（三）

一、朗读短文。你将会在屏幕上看到一篇短文，准备一分钟，再按照提示朗读并在规定时

间内录音并回答后面的两个问题。本题5分。

In the United States when one becomes rich he wants people to know it. And even he does not become very rich, he wants people to think he is. That's what "Keeping up with the Joneses" is about. The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American Arthur Momand. He noticed that many people do things to keep up with their neighbors: they try to look as rich and as successful as 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 the people around you.

People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. That is one reason why they read the "right" books, go to the "right" universities and eat in the "right" restaurants.

1. According to the passage, why do many people try to keep up with the Joneses?

2. What does "Keeping Up with the Joneses" mean?
