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.

Next year, for the first time, sales of movies in DVD format are forecast to outsell those on video cassette in America, reaching a total of $9.5 billion, according to Morgan Stanley, an investment bank. Already, 80% of American households have DVD players. With a DVD recorder now in the shops as well, something that can record from the TV as well as play the discs, Christmas sales are expected to be strong. A technology considered a flop when it was launched in 1997 is now the basis for the fastest-growing consumer appliance ever.
Some in the film business complain that people are simply buying DVDs instead of video cassettes: there is no net gain. Yet DVDs can do things that the cassette cannot, such as offer a choice of language in which to watch a movie, not to mention a clearer picture. And the studios have cleverly stuffed DVDs full of lively extra features, such as new clips or interviews with the director.
Moreover, people appear to want to build up collections of DVDs, rather as they do of recorded music. The DVD is steadily gaining shelf space, even in the movie-rental store, and it should overtake (赶上，追上) the cassette even there within three years. And shops like DVDs, not least because they take up less space. The DVD could well boost the size of the overall home-video market.
Already, recent releases on DVD, such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Star Wars Episode One, have sold millions of copies each. At a time when any revenue growth in the media industry is startling, DVD sales at AOL Time Warner jumped by 44% in the third quarter this year, compared with the same period of 2000, to $279 m.
But how lasting will the DVD effect be？ Some 80% of a film's revenue comes from its distribution after the cinema release: to home video, pay-TV and the like. "The largest single portion of that revenue will be the DVD business," says Christopher Dixon of UBS Warburg, an investment bank, which in turn will help to reduce the risk involved in making movies. "The DVD is the most exciting development in the film industry," he adds, "but every eight years there has been a new distribution platform. in the entertainment business. None of them lasts forever. "
It is predicted that movies in DVD format ______ .
A．will sell better than those on video cassette
B．can't compete with those on video cassette
C．will face a tough market
D．will become good Christmas gifts
A．Cars, space planes, maglev trains.
B．Planes, maglev trains.
C．Rockets, maglev trains.
D．Space planes, maglev trains.
