When Armida Armato’s daughter，Alexia，came home from school one day last year，keen to go on a school trip to Ecuador，Armato wasn’t too sure how to feel. She was happy that her daughter could experience something she never did as a teen but was fearful of letting her travel to such a remote part of the world.

Alexia was 16 at the time，a student at Westwood High School. The school sponsored a humanitarian (人道主义的) trip for 26 students and two teachers to spend 18 days living in a mountain village to build a one-room school.Even though Armato trusted her daughter，the other students and the teachers，she was worried about the side effects from the travel vaccines，possible accidents，and medical care.

Now that Alexia was home，Armato said she saw her daughter’s new maturity，greater confidence and independence. “This is the best thing I ever did，” Alexia said. “The experience was so eye-opening and life-changing. You’re with people who are not as lucky as you are. They live in very poor conditions but they’re so happy and outgoing. You say，‘My God. I’m taking everything for granted at home.’”

She said they built a one-room school from scratch with no mechanical cement mixers. They used their hands，shovels and basic tools. She and another student lived with a local family in a small village about eight hours outside the capital, Quito. Despite the initial strangeness and knowing only basic Spanish，she said they grew very close and felt like a family.

Every year，groups of students at Montreal High School like Alexia pack their bags and fly off with classmates and teachers to developing countries where they volunteer for a variety of projects.

“Armato’s worries are very common among parents，” says Bill Nevin，a teacher at St.George’s High School. He organises a humanitarian trip to India to the Sheela Bal Bhavan orphanage and says the three biggest fears families have are health，security and contact.

4. When hearing the news that her daughter would go on a school trip to Ecuador，Armato was ________.

A. proud and happy                   B. supportive but concerned

C. fearful and nervous                 D. excited but puzzled

5. According to the text，the humanitarian trip helped Alexia ________.

c. change her living conditions          d. become confident

A. a，b，c    B. a，b，d

C. b，c，d    D. a，c，d

6. The underlined phrase “from scratch” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.

A. having great help                        B. using high technology

C. ending up in failure                      D. starting from the beginning

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 neighbors.

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.

8. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they ________.

A. want to be as rich as their neighbors        B. want to be happy

C. don’t want others to know they are rich      D. want others to know or to think that they are rich

9. It can be inferred from the story that rich people like to _________.

A. live in New York City    B. live outside New York City

C. live in apartments    D. have many neighbors

10. 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

11. According to the writer, it is ________ to keep up with the Joneses.

A. impossible    B. interesting

C. correct    D. good
