A
I travel a lot in my work, and what I dislike about my job is eating alone. It always makes me feel lonely to see others laughing and talking. So, room service for several nights was a better choice for me.
After having room service three nights at a hotel in Houston, however, I needed to get out of my room. Although the restaurant opened at 6:30, I arrived at 6:25. The waiter at the front desk made a comment (评论) about my “being there really early”. I explained my dislike of eating alone in restaurants. He then seated me at a lovely table and asked me whether I would mind if he sat down with me for a while.
I was glad! He sat and talked with me about his career goals and the difficulty of being at work on nights, weekends and holidays. He said he hadn’t enough time to be with his family. After 15 minutes, he saw some customers at the front desk and excused himself. I noticed that before he went to the front desk, he stopped in the kitchen for a moment. Then another waiter came out of the kitchen and had a wonderful chat with me. Before I left that night, some other waiters, even the cook, had come out of the kitchen and sat with me!
When I asked for my bill about one hour later, all the people who had sat down with me came over in a big group to my table, and presented me with a red rose. And I cried! What had begun as a lonely night ended as a beautiful experience. 21. The author asked for room service because ______. A. a lot of money would be saved in this way B. he didn’t like to eat with other people around C. he didn’t wanted to be recognized by the waiters D. seeing people laughing and talking made him feel bad
22. From the third paragraph, we can learn that the waiter at the front desk ______.
A. knew how to attract more customers to his restaurant B. found it hard to balance his work and his family C. was getting tired of his present job
D. had never had such a chance to talk about his worries 23. The author wants to tell us that ______.
A. people are actually all lonely in their own way B. restaurants should put the need of customers first C. the kindness of strangers can make you less lonely D. restaurants are full of surprises for lonely people

John had bought a packet of cigarettes just before we caught the train and he offered me one as we settled ourselves in our compartment.
We were on our way back from a camping holiday; we had lived through for over a fortnight(两星期) and even a cigarette was a luxury (奢侈品) at that moment.
I felt in my pocket for a box of matches, but could not find any. “I haven’t got any either,” said John.
2
Sitting opposite us was a man whose face was hidden by a newspaper.
“Excuse me, sir,” said John, leaning across. “Could you give me a light, please?” The newspaper was lowered to reveal a rather elderly man with a stern(严肃的) face. “This is a no-smoking compartment,” the man said. He indicated (指向) the notice near the window. We apologized and put away our unlit cigarettes.
The man went on, in a rather more kindly fashion, to warn us against the dangers of smoking.
“I speak as a doctor,” he concluded, and after that he went back to reading his newspaper.
When he got out a few stations later, he left his newspaper behind him. We picked it up, eager（渴望） to find out what had happened while we were on holiday.
“Just look at this,” remarked John, pointing to a photograph. “It’s the man who was sitting opposite us.” Underneath his photograph was an account of a lunatic(精神病人)who had recently escaped. It appeared that he liked to pretend（假装） to be a doctor. 24、John gave his friend a cigarette .
A．while they were getting on the train B．before they got on the train C．after they had got on the train D．just as the train started 25、When the man got off the train, he .
A．threw his newspaper away B．offered them his newspaper C． dropped his newspaper D．did not take his newspaper 26、 The man’s photograph was in the newspaper because he was .
A. a doctor B．a sportsman C．an actor D．a madman
C
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 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 lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood 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 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 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. 27.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
3
D. want to be happy
28.It can be inferred (推断) from the story that rich people like to ________. A. live outside New York City B. live in New York city C. live in apartments D. have many neighbors
29.Arthur Momand used the name “Jones” in his series of short stories because “Jones” is ________.
A. an important name B. a popular name in the United States C. his neighbor’s name D. not a good name
30. According to the writer, it is ________ to keep up with the Joneses. A. correct B. interesting C. impossible D. good D
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项是多余的. 31
