( A )
My dream is to be the first woman president of the United States when I grow up. Why? I want to show that girls can be just as important as boys. My brother has the same goal. He will be a president right after me.
One important characteristic of a president is self-discipline(自我约束). Why is self-discipline important? What happens if your parents don’t care about your grades? Do you work less hard or push yourself to do more? During my nine years in school I have never been told that 100% is good enough. 100% is good. 110% is better. Still better is 120%. I have got straight A’s since I moved to Bedford. The good grades are a reward for my work.
Another important characteristic is flexibility(灵活性). I have two sides. One side is gentle and the other is tough. These two sides are equally important to me. I have to know when to be hard and gentle at the right time. When a child does something wrong, you need to be gentle but also harsh(严厉的) to send the right message. You have to be tough when you’re dealing with a bully. I’m the only girl in my class but the boys respect(尊敬) me because they know I am as tough as any boy.
These characteristics will lead(带往) me to my goal. I will never give up. I will be a president when I grow up.

In the United States, many people have been told that anyone can become rich(富裕的) and successful if he works hard and has some good luck.
Yes, when one becomes rich he wants people to know it. And even he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That’s what “keeping up with(跟上) the Joneses” is about. The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American named Arthur Momand. Momand looked around him and noticed(留意到) that many people did things to keep up with their neighbours. They tried to look as rich and as successful as 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(常见的) name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses”came to mean keeping up with 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 Joneses. That is one reason why they read the “right”books, go to the “right” universities and eat in the “right” restaurants.
Every city has an area where people want to live because others will think better of them if they do, 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(无论什么) one does, Mr Jones always seems to be ahead.
56. Why do many people try to keep up with the Joneses according to Arthur Momand?
A. Because they want to be as rich as their friends.
B. Because they feel proud to be taken for Mr Jones.
C. Because they are afraid that others will know they are rich.
D. Because they want others to know or think they are rich.
57. Why did Arthur Momand use the name “Jones” in his stories?
A. Because many rich people in the U.S. are named Jones.
B. Because few rich people in the U.S. are named Jones.
C. Because there are many people in the U.S. whose family name is Jones.
D. Because there are few people in the U.S. whose family name is Jones.
58. What does the writer refer to(提及) when he says the “right” book?
A. A book that other people around are reading.
B. A book that teaches people how to get rich and successful.
C. A very expensive book.
D. A book written by a famous and successful person.
59. What does the writer mean by the last sentence “… Mr Jones always seems to be ahead.”
A. It seems Mr Jones is always walking ahead of others.
B. It seems one cannot keep up with Mr Jones if he is tired.
C. It seems one can never keep up with all people around.
D. It seems one can keep up with others if he tries hard.
60. What’s the writer’s idea?
A. It is very funny to try to keep up with the Joneses.
B. It is not correct to try to keep up with the Joneses.
C. It is not bad to try to keep up with the Joneses.
d. It is necessary to try to keep up with the Joneses.
