22、A competition making up Versailles literature was launched on Sina Weibo recently. So what is Versailles literature?
Actually, the term has nothing to do with the French palace nor with literature. It came from The Rose of Versailles, a Japanese manga series about aristocratic life at the palace of Versailles in France in the late 18th century, and was coined by a Chinese influencer earlier this year. Known as humblebragging, it is a boast disguised as a complaint. “I have too many houses. How can I decide which one to decorate?” and “I thought I lost weight this morning. So disappointed when I realized it was because I took off the huge diamond ring my boyfriend gave me last night” are some examples of Versailles literature. The intention is to show off—usually things of materialistic values, yet one ought to pretend that’s not the point.
As the 19th century English author Jane Austen famously wrote, “Nothing is more deceitful than the appearance of humility.” The psychology behind humblebragging is to be recognized for one’s successes and be liked by others at the same time, according to scholars. In her article titled Why do people hate humblebragging? published in Psychology Today, psychologist Dr. Susan Krauss Whitbourne at the University of Massachusetts Amherst noted that humblebragging is a “strategy in pursuit of respect” because it draws attention to one’s accomplishments in a circuitous way.
However, studies on social media users show that humblebragging as a self-promotion strategy does not work. In the essay Humblebragging: A distinct and ineffective self-presentation strategy, the University of North Carolina researcher Ovul Sezer and Harvard University scholars Francesca Gino and Michael Norton concluded from their research that humblebraggers are perceived more negatively than straight braggers due to the former’s insincerity. “The critical factor differentiating the two groups of people is sincerity. People don’t like braggers, but they at least see them as more sincere than humblebraggers,” said Francesca Gino.
So, how can we annoy humblebraggers back? “Just pretend you don’t get whatever it is they try to show off,” a netizen advised. “And respond with genuine sympathy for their complaints.”
【1】Which of the following statements is typical of “Versailles literature”?
A．You know who my father is? My father is the headmaster.
B．Got five offers to date. I’m at a loss which to choose.
C．It’s a headache how to make my son tidy up his room regularly.
D．I’m fed up with living in the countryside with no shopping malls around.
【2】What is the psychology behind humblebragging?
A．To earn others’ admiration.
B．To win others’ sympathy.
C．To show his/her sincerity.
D．To mask his/her complaint.
【3】What does the underlined world “circuitous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Ambiguous.
B．Straightforward.
C．Roundabout.
D．Double-edged.
【4】What can’t be inferred from the passage?
A．Braggers are relatively more sincere than humblebraggers.
B．Humblebragging is an artificial appearance of being humble.
C．To respond with real sympathy will discourage humblebraggers.
D．Avoid using Versailles literature and you’ll be perceived positively.
23、In spring 2016,Liza Goldberg asked scientists at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center if she could do research there. There was a problem, though. She was just 14 years old, and NASA's internship(实习) program only accepts students starting at age 16.
David Lagomasino and Temilola Fatoyinbo are NASA satellite experts. They saw Liza’s request. In it,she talked about how she had studied trees in her own backyard to learn about climate change. The two NASA scientists were impressed. “This girl sounds great,’’ Lagomasino remembers saying. “Let’s bring her in.” They made a special role for her outside the internship program.
Lagomasino and Fatoyinbo thought Liza could help them use satellite data to map mangroves(红树林), a small tree that grows in muddy forests on the coastlines of many tropical(热带的) countries. Mangroves are very important as they store huge amounts of carbon, which makes them helpful for fighting global warming. They are also home to fish that millions of people depend on for food.
Less than two years later, Liza has developed what might be the world’s first satellite-based system to determine where mangroves are in trouble. The work uses data from four satellites. It covers mangrove growth and loss, rainfall, agriculture and city growth.
Lagomasino and Fatoyinbo brought Liza in during the summer before she started high school. The teen had seen mangroves only once before, during a trip to Fort Myers, Florida. Soon, she would see many more,at least on her computer screen.
Liza learned that half of the world's mangroves had disappeared. She was shocked and motivated to do something. I wanted to create some kind of solution,she said. She would even work during school breaks or at home on her projects. Liza's hard work is starting to pay off. Already, environmental groups are eager to use her system to make their work more effective.
Now that she has turned 16,Liza has finally joined NASA's official internship program.
【1】Why was Liza outside the internship program at first?
A．She knew little about global warming.
B．She didn't show her talent properly.
C．She didn't meet the required age.
D．She lacked the experience of data-collecting.
【2】Why are mangroves so important?
A．They are food for fish.
B．They keep a balanced ecosystem.
C．They forecast climate change.
D．They are commercial crops.
【3】What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．The data.
B．The satellite.
C．The system.
D．The work.
【4】Which of the following can describe Liza's work in NASA?
A．It will lead to a future job with NASA.
B．It took up her school time.
C．It earned her fame.
D．It is fruitful.
24、Empty nest syndrome (综合症) is a phenomenon in which parents experience feelings of sadness and loss when their last child leaves home. 【1】, the experience of letting you go can be painful. If you are the only child of theirs, they might have a particularly difficult time adjusting to an empty nest.
What’s the impact of empty nest syndrome? Recent studies suggest that an empty nest might benefit parents a lot. For example, when the last child leaves home, parents can restart interests for which they previously might not have had time. However, many empty-nesters experience a sense of loss that might make them easy to experience depression, alcoholism and identity crisis. 【2】, you may take the following steps.
Keep in touch with them when you live apart. Make an effort to keep regular contact through visits, phone calls, emails, texts or video chats. 【3】. And continue to find opportunities to do the things together that you used to do.
Be responsible and positive. Focus on what you can do to be a success. 【4】. Seeing you responsible and positive, your parents will be able to find strength to move forward with a post-you life.
【5】. It will be a slow process since they have been in low spirits for quite some time, so the change won’t happen overnight. You may lean on loved ones for support. You can even consult your doctor or a mental health provider.
A．Be patient and seek support
B．If your parents are in such trouble
C．If you feel physically and mentally stressed
D．Although they might encourage you to become independent
E．Behave in a responsible manner in matters of safety, health and career
F．Taking on new challenges at work or at home can help ease the sense of loss
G．Speak with them about their childhood dreams and ambitions before you came along
