My tooth was aching. And I’d been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt: “The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place. Can’t you see things from my point of view?” I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.“If you come by right now,”the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.”I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn't he as busy as the others?In the dentist's office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, "Don't worry. The dentist is very good. ""How long do I have to wait for him?" I asked impatiently."Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork," the assistant said."The artwork?" I was puzzled.The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was!

Most writers were more concerned to meet the tastes of the middle class. The best known works of the period included the works of Charles Dickens and the Bronté sisters and others.Charles Dickens came on the literary scene in the 1830s. Dickens wrote vividly about London life and the struggles of the poor. Most of his works were written in a very humorous style, which was popular with readers of all classes.The Bronté sisters were English writers of the 1840s and 1850s. They began to write from early childhood. In 1846 they published the first book at their own expense as poets; however, their book attracted little attention, selling only two copies. Then the sisters turned to writing novels, each producing a novel in the following year.An interest in rural matters and the changing social and economic situation of the countryside may be seen in the novels of Thomas Hardy and a number of others.Literature for children developed as a single style. Some works became well－known, such as those of Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear. Adventure novels were written for adults but are now generally grouped in the list for children. Helen Beatrix Potter was an English author at the end of the Victorian Era, best known for her children's books, which featured animal characters. In her thirties, Potter published the highly successful children's book The Tale of Peter Rabbit in 1902.29. What can we know about Charles Dickens from the text?A. He described the struggles of the poor in London.B. He showed an interest in rural matters in his writing.C. He focused on changing social and economic situation of the countryside.D. He published the highly successful children's book.30. Which is TRUE about the Bronté sisters?A. They were English writers of the 1830s.B. They paid to have their first book published.C. They began their writing from adulthood.D. Their first book was successful.31. The author states in the last paragraph that________．A. society changed rapidly in the Victorian EraB. Thomas Hardy was not as famous as Lewis CarrollC. Edward Lear was famous for writing about animalsD. adventure novels were not written for children at first32. This text is mainly about ________.A. writing styles in the Victorian EraB. literature in the Victorian EraC. famous works in the Victorian EraD. the importance of literature in the Victorian EraDAccording to a recent article in The Wall Street Journal, we might all be braggarts(大话王) in this competitive society addicted to social networking.Take a close look at your social-networking sites. Do you like to post photos of yourself in restaurants to show others what an exciting life you have? Or do you like to write about how happily in love you are? Or perhaps you are of the subtle type who constantly complain about jobs but really just want to impress others with your important position.According to the results of a series of experiments conducted by Harvard University neuroscientists(神经科学家), the reward areas of our brain——the same areas that respond to “primary rewards” such as food ——are activated when we talk about ourselves. We devote between 30 to 40 percent of our conversation time to doing just that. Unfortunately, Bernstein says, some people can't tell the difference between sharing positive information that others might actually want to know and direct bragging. She suggests that bragging involves comparison, whether stated or implied.“We are expected to be perfect all the time. The result is that more and more people are carefully managing their online images”. says Elizabeth Bernstein, a columnist with the Wall Street Journal.But the issue is not limited to the Internet. In a fiercely competitive job market we must sell ourselves on multiple platforms and show that we are better than others. In fact, we have become so accustomed to bragging that we don't even realize we are doing it, says Bernstein. This is harmful to our relationships and puts people off.Bernstein talked to some experts who said that people brag for all sorts of reasons: to appear worthy of attention; to prove to ourselves we are doing fine and that people who said we would fail are wrong; or simply because we're excited when good things happen to us.“Feel sorry for them, because they're doing this unconscious, destructive thing that won't help them in the long run，” said Professor Simian Valier, a research psychologist at Washington University.33. The underlined word “subtle” in Para.2 is closest in meaning to “________”．A．hidden B. apparent C．outstanding D. simple34. Which of the following is one of the features of braggarts?A．They control conversation and only talk about themselves.B．They know well how to share positive information.C．They self-promote to stand out in their career.D．They don't pay much attention to their online image.35. What can we infer from the passage?A．Braggarts make a good first impression but the effect decreases over time.B．People who like bragging know what they are doing.C．Braggarts always adopt comparison directly to show they are excellent.D．They care much about the feelings of others when talking.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
