This is a true story from Guyana．One day, a boy took a piece of paper from a box．He made a paper ball and pushed it into his nose．He couldn’t get it out．He ran crying to his mother．His mother couldn’t get the paper out, either．A week later, the paper was still in the boy’s nose．His nose began to have a bad smell．

The boy’s mother came home looking sad．She didn’t want her child to have his nose cut．The next day she took the boy to her friend Sidney who lived in a house with an old lady called May．May wanted to see the child, so the child let her look up his nose．

As she spoke, she shook some black pepper （胡椒粉）on the child’s nose．The child gave a mighty sneeze and the paper flew out．His mother was surprised．May told his mother to take the boy to the seaside for a swim, for the salt water would go up his nose and stop the bad smell．

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 “Jonses” 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．
39．Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they ____________．

During the twentieth century there has been a great change in the lives of women．A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old and up．By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work．Today women marry younger and have fewer children．Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until sixty．
This important change in women’s life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women economic （经济的） position．Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a full-time job．However, when they married their school-leaving age is sixteen．Many girls stay at school after that age, and though women marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born．Very many more afterwards return to fuller part-time work．Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage （婚姻）, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life．
43．We are told that in a family about 1900________．
A、few children died before they were five
B、seven or eight children lived to be more than five

Do you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room? In 2040 it will not matter．They will turn themselves off—and on again when you return．You will choose the temperature for each room, the lighting and the humidity．A sensor（传感器） will find the presence of a human （and, with luck, ignore the dog!） and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it will turn them off again．
The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you．They will find faulty electrical appliances, plugs or switches, separate them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair．They will detect（发现） fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the fire brigade．It will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic．You will open them using your personal card—the one you use for shopping—maybe using a number known only to you．
It will be impossible to lose the key, and a housebreaker will have to tamper（拨弄） with the lock or with a window．It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer．
The computer will be more than a fireman-policeman-servant．It will be an entertainer, and most of your entertainment will come right into your home．It does now, of course, but by 2040 “entertainment” will mean much more．For one thing, you will be able to take part actively, rather than just watching．
47．The author intends to tell us that _____．
A．in 2040 we will live without lights and heaters
B．in 2040 we will use much more lights and heaters
C．in 2040 there will be no switches of lights and heaters
D．in 2040 lights and heaters will be on and off automatically
48．According to the author, in 2040, new technology _____．
A．will free us from the keys we use today B．will turn everything into sensors
C．will make the locks out of date D．will get rid of all crimes
49．Thanks to computers, in 2040 people _____．
A．will have no entertainment outside B．will replace TV with computers
C．will be controlled by computers D．will have more fun at home
50．The best title for the passage might be _____．
A．Sensors and Computers
B．Life at Home in the Year 2040
C．The Development of Science and Technology
D．Lights and Heaters in the Year 2040
