Yet, 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 tries to look as rich and as successful as his neighbors.
The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American by the name of 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.Young Momand was very proud of his riches.He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City.But just moving there was not enough.When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horse 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 this race because one was always trying to keep up.Momand and his wife could not do that.
The race ended for them when they could no longer pay for their new way of life.They left their wealthy neighborhood and 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 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.Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.
Every city has an area where people want to live because others will think better of them if they do.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.

Dear Mr. Brown,
Thank you for your letter of 6 September regarding Mr. John Green who has been employed by this company for the past 10 years.
Mr. Green served his apprenticeship (学徒) with Vickers Tools Ltd. in Manchester, followed by a three-year course of engineering for Production Engineers.

In all his job duties he has shown himself to be hard-working, responsible and in every way a very dependable employee.
I can strongly recommend Mr. Green as I feel sure that if he were to be chosen to manage your factory in Nairobi he would bring to his work a true atmosphere of teamwork, which would be found necessary and helpful by all who would work with him.
Sincerely yours，
Tom Smith

After graduating, he landed on Wall Street, but every night he dreamed of working for himself.During the booming (繁荣的) 1990s, he gave it a try when he and a partner started govWorks - a software company that helped city government go online.
They raised $60 million and expanded like crazy.Then dotcoms started turning into dotbombs - govWorks broke up too.Says Isaza Tuzman, "Entrepreneurs (创业人) have to be ready for both success and failure.In Columbia if you fail, you become a pariah and no one will do business with you.The wonderful thing about this country is you can get up again."
From national parks to moon landings, America has given the world some amazing ideas.But the American Dream is still the biggest - the idea that with hard work and a bit of luck you can be whoever you want to be.Historian James Truslow Adams once wrote that Americans believe "life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement."
These days there's pressure on the dream idea.A 1978 study of boys born and raised after World War II found an astonishing 23% of the poorest had reached the top of the income heap by 1973.Now, in a typical generation, only 10% work their way from bottom to top.
But every day, some still do make it.After govWorks went bankrupt, Isaza Tuzman built on what he had learned.His new company, Recognition Group, restructures (重组) firms and finds them venture capital？–？nearly $150 million so far.Last year, "Hispanic Business" magazine named him to its 100 Most Influential list.Not bad for a dreamer, in a country built on dreams.
41.What did Kaleil Isaza Tuzman dream of after graduating from college______
A.Working in the Wall Street stock market.
B.Starting a business of his own.

What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experience into shapes and colors, not words.They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us.Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist.
Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and at rest; their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights.Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it.Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects.
If one painter chooses to paint a decaying leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world.Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something—all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.

Of course, some people have remarkable chances which lead to fame and success without this long and tedious training. Connie Pratt, for example, was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory. A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop, as he drove past in his big car. He told the chauffeur to stop, and he got out to speak to the girl. He asked her if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test, and at first she thought he was joking. Then she got angry and said she would call the police. It took the producer twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious. Then an appointment was made for her to go to the studio the next day. The test was successful. They gave her elocution lessons and within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day.
