Frank was clever, but he never liked to work hard. He often said to his friends, “If you work hard, you will make a lot of money, but it is not so good. I want easy work and a lot of money. That’s the most interesting thing in the world.”So he could only be a thief. But he still thought it was too much work, so he only told his friends what to do and got money from them.
One day, Frank sent one of his friends to a very large and beautiful house. He told him to get money from that rich family. It was evening, and a man and a girl were in the room. They were playing a duet(二重奏)on a piano. Then the thief came into the house.
When he returned, Frank asked him what he had got. But he said, “I didn’t take anything. That family can’t have much money. You know, two people were playing on the same piano there. They did not have money to buy another piano.”

In the United 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 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 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 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.
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. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s 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 “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.
【小題1】Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they ________.
A.want to be as rich as their neighbours |
B.want others to know or to think that they are rich |
C.don’t want others to know they are rich |
D.want to be happy |
A.live outside New York City | B.live in New York City |
C.live in apartments | D.have many neighbours |
A.a(chǎn)n important name | B.a(chǎn) popular name in the United States |
C.his neighbour’s name | D.not a good name |
A.do as the poor persons around him do |
B.do everything he likes to do |
C.do as his neighbours do |
