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 (雇佣) a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbours. 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 around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich life-style (生活方式) of their neighbours. 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 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 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.63. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they _.

It was not really invented but developed from simple beginnings. Email messages at first were not sent; they were left behind like leaving a note on someones desk. This message would be easily seen by the user when logged on.The first email system of this type was called MAILBOX. It was used in 1965 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. SNDNSG was another early program that could send messages on the same computer. Thus before the arrival of the Internet, email messaging was only done with the same computer. When the Internet was developed, the problem at the time was sending the message to the right person. While the computers could recognize and talk to each other, identifying（证实）a particular person to receive the email message was not simple at all.Addressing the email message was invented in1972 by Ray Tomlinson. He chose “” from the keyboard for denoting（标明） sending messages from one computer to the other. Since then, using the Internet to send an email message has been simple. Other email features such as labeling and sorting email in folders came later. Larry Roberts invented some email folders for his boss for sorting his email; it was a big step forward. Later, John Vital developed a software in 1975 for organizing email.It was difficult to connect to the Internet and make replies. Offline readers helped a lot to solve this problem. It allowed users to store their email on their personal computers, then read them and prepare replies without being connected to the network. This is similar to todays Microsoft Outlook.67.We know that the earliest email messages were _.A. sent among several computersB. not sent but left behind on a computerC. not easy to be seen by the computer userD. often read by the user without being logged on68.When the Internet was developed, the problem that people faced was how to _.A. talk to other computersB. receive email messages in time C. recognize other computersD. send email messages to the right person69.What is the CORRECT time order of the following events?

Different ways to send email.四、任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空格只填一个单词。There is an English saying, “Laughter(笑声) is the best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into(调查) laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve peoples health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical(身体的) exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing. It also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial(有益的).Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in group of students who listened to different radio programmes. The group that tolerated(忍受) the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny programme. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain reducing both stress and pain.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in th
