Do
some
brainstorming
about
your
expenses
and
how
you
could
possibly cut back on them.

It
is
wise
to
write
them
down
on
paper
because
it
is
less
easy
to
dismiss them that way.

For
example,
can
you
cut
down
on
the
amount
of
gas
you
use
by
taking public transportation?

If you eat out often, consider making more meals at home.

Examine your buying habits.

In
the
United
States
many
have
been
told
that
anyone
can
become rich and successful if he works hard and has some good luck.
Yet,
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
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
do
things just to keep up with 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 the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different
newspapers across the country for over 28 years.
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 one does, Mr. Jones always seems to
be ahead.
1. The writer of the selection believes _____.


A. anyone in the United States can become rich


B.
anyone
in
the
United
Sates
can
become
rich
if
he
works
hard
