12、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 neighbors.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
13、 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 bi
14、g 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. 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(公寓房间) in New York City.Momand looked ar
15、ound himself and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich life-style of their neighbors. 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 very common name in the United States. Keeping up
16、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. But one must ge

20、 about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩).In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and div
21、ided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldnt see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.In anothe
22、r experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggestin
23、g that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive. Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its mental abilities. In add
24、ition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.Its hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they cant talk back. Still, it wouldnt hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a

27、ents is to show the border collies mental abilities. B. Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training. C. The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects. D. Rico is born to understand its owners commands.27. What does the writer want to tell us? A. To train your dog
28、. B. To talk to your dog. C. To be friendly to your dog. D. To be careful with your dog.CNOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these
29、 experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase(抹去)the effect of painful memories.In No
30、vember, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great dea
31、l of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.Some memories can ruin peoples lives. They come back to you whe
32、n you dont want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions, said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. This could relieve a lot of that suffering.But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity (特质). They also hel
