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 Mo-
mand. 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 se-
ries 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
“Jonses” 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.
19. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they _____.
A. want to be as rich as their neighbors
B. want others to know or to think that they are rich
