It

was

one

of

the

hottest

days

of

the

dry

season.

We

had

not

seen

rain

1

almost

a month. The crops were dying. If we

2

see some rain soon, we would lose

everything.

I

was

making

lunch

in

the

kitchen

when

I

saw

my

3

son,

Billy,

walking

towards

the

woods.

He

was

walking

with

a

great

effort...

trying

to

be

as

still

as

possible.

Minutes

later, he was once again walking towards the woods. I

4

stand it any longer.

I went out of the house and followed him.

He

was

cupping

both

hands

in

front

of

him

as

he

walked,

being

very

careful

not

to

spill

(

溢出）

the water he carried.

As I came closer, I saw

5

sight. Several large deer stood in front of him.

Billy walked straight up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. But the

deer

6

hurt him nor even moved as Billy got down. And then I saw a baby

deer

7

on

the

ground,

thirsty,

lift

its

head

to

lap

up(

舔)

the

water

in

my

boy’s

hands. When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house. I followed him

back to a tap. Billy opened it and let the drip slowly fill up his “cup”.

8

he

stood

up

and

began

to

turn

back,

I

was

there

in

front

of

him.

His

little

eyes

9

with

tears.

Very

quickly,

he

explained

10

he

was

not

wasting

water. The week before, he had made

11

same trouble with our

horses,

12

caused

him

a

lecture

from

his

father

about

the

importance

of not wasting water.

This time, I joined him, with a small pot of water from the kitchen. I let

him

13

the baby deer alone , for it was

14

job. As the

tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they

15

by

other drops... more drops... and more. I looked up at the sky. All I can say is that the

rain

came

that

day

saved

our

farm,

just

like

the

actions

of

one

little

boy

saved

the

little

deer.

Last winter vacation, my brother got a set of bedroom furniture for his thirteenth

birthday. When it arrived, I

helped

my

parents moved

the

16

furniture to

the

garage

（车库）

. It was still in good condition. I thought it might be a chance for us

to

17

someone in our community. I started to search neighbors, anyone

who

18

a

bedroom

set.

Finally,

my

mom

helped

me

call

the

local

primary

school.

They told me about Jaila, the daughter of a poor single mother. I was given a telephone

number and

19

, and I soon found myself at Jaila’s.

The moment I went into Jaila’s room, I knew I

had taken on too big a task. When I

pushed the old door open, it made a long high noise. But the door was nothing compared

with the rest of the room. Some old paint was

20

the wall. One of the

windows

was

21

.

The

bed

was

just

a

mattress

（床垫）

on

the

old

carpet.

It

seemed

that the room

needed

22

furniture

—

it

cried

—

for

a complete

ma keover

（翻

新）

.

That day I spent at least an hour looking around and

23

how I could possibly

fixed the room. I had never painted a wall, let alone fixed a floor. The second day, I

returned

with

a

large

group

of

helpers

—

my

close

friends.

We

went

to

collect

everything

needed

door

to

door

in

our

community.

We

replaced

and

repainted

Jaila’s

room.

We

sweated

in Jaila’s house for more than ten hours every day that week.

The moment we finished, we called Jaila into the room. She jumped, laughed and

hugged each of us. I

turned to Jaila’s mother, and saw she had tears running down her

face.

“Anna,” Jaila called my name

24

.

“

Yes

？”

“Welcome to my new room!”

When

we

saw

how

happy

Jaila

and

her

mother

were,

our

tiredness

disappeared

into

thin

air.

We

are

really

25

make

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 express0ion

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

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

throughout

the

country

for over

28 years.

People

never

seem

to get

tired

of

keepi

ng

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.
