听力原文: There can be (21) hardly anyone who has not heard of yoga, and, whether you are 16 or 60, you can reap the (22) benefits of taking it up as a hobby. Yoga was (23) developed by Hinduism and is a system of training the body and the mind. Its goal is to make it easier for people to remove all (24) distractions which hinder reaching that state of mind and body by which they can live a life of the spirit in union with their maker. Reaching this state is (25) considerably more difficult than might be imagined. For this reason, the training is (26) divided into stages, which become gradually harder and harder.
The aim of taking part in the physical training is to bring the body under (27) complete control in such areas as the regulation of breathing and the (28) flexibility of muscles, both of which play an important part in controlling our overall movements. The stress of mental training, as well as physical body (29) behaviour, make undisturbed concentration possible. Anyone trained in this way is called a yogi. So what are we waiting for? Maybe it's time we all headed for the nearest yoga class and started (30) training now!

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.
