For example, they don’t’ yet know what problems people would have if they loved being weightless for several years.If you were a space traveler you might have to spend several months, or even years, in a spaceship.

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 tries to look as rich and as successful as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American by the name of 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. Young Momand was very proud of his riches. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. But just moving there was not enough. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horse 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 this race because one was always trying to keep up. Momand and his wife could not do that.The race ended for them when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They left their wealthy neighborhood and moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people dothings just to keep up with their neighbors. He saw the funny side ofit and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “keepingup with the Joneses”, because “Jones” is a very common name in theUnited States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keepingup with the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in differentnewspapers across the country for over 28 years.Every city has an area where people want to live because otherswill think better of them if they do. And there are “Joneses” in everycity of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with theJoneses, because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems tobe ahead.1.

The only trouble was that the place wasvery difficult to get to.He returned from his first visit to the place in late autumn, andcould not get back until the snow melted in the following spring.Then he went to the pilot of a small plane, who earned his living bycarrying hunters over parts of the country where there were no roadsand no railways.

But I tell you there is nowhere to land in the placeyou are talking about.”“And what if I tell you that another pilot did land me there lastspring?” said the hunter.“Is that true?” asked the pilot.“Yes, it is. I swear it.”Well, this pilot could not let himself beaten by another, so heagreed to take the hunter.When they reached the place, the hunter pointed out a small spotwithout trees in the middle of the forest, with a steep rise(陡坡) at oneend.
