A cmpetitin making up Versailles literature was launched n Sina Weib recently. S what is Versailles literature?
Actually, the term has nthing t d with the French palace nr with literature. It came frm The Rse f Versailles, a Japanese manga series abut aristcratic（贵族化的）life at the palace f Versailles in France in the late 18th century, and was cined by a Chinese influencer earlier this year. Knwn as humblebragging, it is a bast（吹牛）disguised as a cmplaint. “I have t many huses. Hw can I decide which ne t decrate?” and “I thught I lst weight this mrning. S disappinted when I realized it was because I tk ff the huge diamnd ring my byfriend gave me last night” are sme examples f Versailles literature. The intentin is t shw ff — usually things f materialistic values, yet ne ught t pretend that’s nt the pint.
As the 19th century English authr Jane Austen famusly wrte, “ Nthing is mre deceitful（欺诈的）than the appearance f humility（谦逊）.” The psychlgy behind humblebragging is t be recgnized fr ne’s successes and be liked by thers at the same time, accrding t schlars. In her article titled Why d peple hate humblebragging? published in Psychlgy Tday, psychlgist Dr. Susan Krauss Whitburne at the University f Massachusetts Amherst nted that humblebragging is a “strategy in pursuit f respect” because it draws attentin t ne’s accmplishments in a circuitus way.
Hwever, studies n scial media users shw that humblebragging as a self-prmtin strategy des nt wrk. In the essay Humblebragging: A distinct and ineffective self-presentatin strategy, the University f Nrth Carlina researcher Ovul Sezer and Harvard University schlars Francesca Gin and Michael Nrtn cncluded frm their research that humblebraggers are perceived mre negatively than straight braggers due t the frmer’s insincerity. “The critical factr differentiating the tw grups f peple is sincerity. Peple dn’t like braggers,but they at least see them as mre sincere than humblebraggers,” said Francesca Gin.
S, hw can we anny humblebraggers back? “ Just pretend yu dn’t get whatever it is they try t shw ff,” a netizen advised. “And respnd with genuine sympathy fr their cmplaints.”
28. Which f the fllwing statements is typical f “Versailles literature” ?
A. Yu knw wh my father is? My father is Li Gang.
B. Gt five ffers t date. I’m at a lss which t chse.
C. It’s a headache hw t make my sn tidy up his rm regularly.
D. I’m fed up with living in the cuntryside with n shpping malls arund.
29. What is the psychlgy behind humblebragging?
A. T win thers’ sympathy.B. T earn thers’ admiratin.
C. T shw his/her sincerity. D. T mask his/her cmplaint.
30. What des the underlined wrld “circuitus” in Paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Rundabut.B. Straightfrward. C. Ambiguus. D. Duble-edged.
31. What can’t be inferred frm the passage?
A. Braggers are relatively mre sincere than humblebraggers.
B. Humblebragging is an artificial appearance f being humble.
C. T respnd with real sympathy will discurage humblebraggers.
D. If yu want t be perceived psitively, avid using Versailles literature.

Researchers at the University f Maryland have turned rdinary sheets f wd int transparent material that is nearly as clear as glass, but strnger and with better insulating prperties（隔热性). It culd becme an energy efficient building material in the future.
Wd is made f tw basic ingredients: cellulse, which are tiny fibres, and lignin （木质素）, which is a glue-like material that bnds the fibres tgether t give it strength. The lignin als cntains mlecules called chrmphres, which give the wd its brwn clr and prevent light frm passing thrugh.
Early attempts t make transparent wd invlved remving the lignin, but this invlved harmful chemicals, high temperatures and a lt f time, making the prduct expensive and smewhat fragile. The new technique is s cheap and easy that it culd literally be dne in a backyard.
Starting with pieces f wd a meter lng and ne millimeter thick, the scientists simply brushed n a slutin（溶液）f hydrgen perxide using an rdinary paint brush. When left in the sun, r under a UV lamp fr an hur r s, the perxide remve clr frm the brwn chrmphres but left the lignin undamaged, s the wd turned white. Next, they filled the wd with a tugh transparent epxy, which filled in the spaces in the wd and then hardened. This made the white wd transparent.
As windw material, it wuld be much mre resistant t accidental breakage. The clear wd is lighter than glass, with better insulating prperties, which is imprtant because windws are a majr surce f heat lss in buildings. It als might take less energy t prduce clear wd because there are n high temperatures invlved.
Transparent wd culd becme an alternative t glass in energy efficient buildings, r perhaps cverings fr slar panels in harsh envirnments. There culd be n end f uses.
32. What is the secnd paragraph mainly abut?
A. The classificatin f wd strength.B. The characteristics f wd.
C. The causes f wd clr.D. The structure f wd.
33. Hw did the researchers make wd transparent in the past?
A. By remving the lignin.B. By reducing chemicals.
C. By lwering the temperature.D. By changing the experiment site.
34. What is the functin f the epxy?
A. T make the wd strnger. B. T take away the brwn clr.
C. T turn the wd transparent.D. T fill the spaces in the wd.
35. Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Replacing Glass with WdB. Turning Wd Transparent
C. Energy Saving MaterialD. Ec-friendly Alternative
