Yu've likely encuntered the humblebrag(谦虚自夸）befre--basting （吹嘘）disguised as a cmplaint, such as： "I'm having such a stressful day. I gt tw jb ffers and I dn't knw what t d.”
This is a typical example f humblebragging, a term cined by cmedic writer Harris Wittels referring t “ a specific type f bast that allws the ffender t bradcast their achievements withut the necessary shame and guilt that shuld nrmally accmpany such claims.” In simpler terms, it's a way t disguise a bast with sme mdesty. Humblebragging cmes in tw different frms. The first is mdesty-based, an example being, "can't believe I gt the highest grade in my class”. The secnd type cmes mixed with a bit f cmplaint, fr example, " I can't believe that shpkeeper asked me fr ID. I'm 25 !”
Peple dn't like when thers humblebrag because they find they are lacking in sincerity. Sincerity is a critical dimensin f scial evaluatin, which is viewed as fundamental t peple's identity. In fact, peple prize sincerity even abve cmpetence and warmth in thers, accrding t Dr. Sezer.
If humblebragging desn't wrk, and n ne likes it, why d we still d it? We all want t highlight ur psitive qualities withut seeming prud. By speaking in a cmplaint r an expressin f mdesty, we hpe we'll smehw land n the “ sweet spt" f self-presentatin ： prmting urselves while als cnveying likability. In additin, research suggests that peple may experience psitive emtins while humblebragging.
Cnsidering that we're all likely t feel the urge t humblebrag, at least t sme extent, the prper respnse when we hear a friend ding it may be t simply let it g--because ultimately we're ging t d it urselves, and wh really wants t be called ut n it?
28. Which f the fllwing remarks is an example f humblebragging?
A. Hw I hate hearing my vice n TV!
B. I'm thrilled t be awarded the first prize.
C. I'm the nly persn t get prmted in the firm.
D. Hw I dislike ding the same thing every day!
29. Which can best describe peple's impressin f humblebraggers?
A. Hnest. B. Mdest. C. Insincere. D. Incapable.
30. Why d peple humblebrag?
A. T lift up their spirits.
B. T express their cmplaints.
C. T imprve their mral qualities.
D. T shw ff withut bringing annyance.
31. What are peple advised t d when hearing humblebragging frm a friend?
A. Fllw it up.B. Leave it alne.
C. Turn against it.D. Get t the rt f it.
D
Peple have lng dreamt f a car that flies thrugh the sky. Japan's Sky Drive has carried ut a successful, but mdest test flight f such a vehicle carrying a persn.
It is just ne f the many "flying car" prjects arund the wrld. In a vide shwn t reprters, a vehicle that lked like a mtrcycle lined up t tw meters ff the grund. It flew in circles in a prtected area fr fur minutes. Tmhir Fukuzawa heading the Sky Drive effrt said he hpes the flying car can be made int a real-life prduct by 2023. Hwever, he nted the imprtance f safety. "Of the wrld's mre than 100 flying car prjects, nly a handful has succeeded with a persn n bard. I hpe many peple want t ride it and feel safe."
The machine s far can fly fr Just 5 t 10 minutes, but if the flight time can be extended t 30 minutes, the car will have mre pssibilities. Unlike airplanes and helicpters, " electric vertical (垂直的) takeff and landing" vehicles, r eVTOL, generally ffer quick pint-t-pint persnal travel. They culd d away with having t deal with airprts, traffic jams. Such vehicles culd even fly withut a pilt.
Sky Drive's flying car began as a vlunteer prject in 2012. The prject received financial supprt frm tp Japanese cmpanies including carmaker Tyta, electrnics cmpany Panasnic. A demnstratin flight three years ag did nt g well. But the flying car has imprved, and the prject recently received additinal supprt f $37 millin, including mney frm the Develpment Bank f Japan. The Japanese gvernment has expressed supprt fr the futuristic prject, with a "rad map" fr business services by 2023. The gal is t expand the flying car's cmmercial use by the 2030s. It als has nted pssible uses fr cnnecting faraway areas and prviding transprtatin in disasters.
32. What can we learn abut the flying car accrding t the text?
A. It's a kind f mtrcycle. B. It has been put int use.
C. Its safety factr is high. D. Its flight time is limited.
33. Cmpared with airplanes, the flying car f Japan's Sky Drive ________.
A. needs t land at the airprt B. will get stuck in traffic jams easily
C. can fly as high as yu like D. may travel autmatically
34. Why is the Japanese gvernment in favr f the prject?
A. T increase peple s yearly incme.
B. T ease the traffic pressure natinwide.
C. T make flying cars mre used in business.
D. T imprve the transprtatin in remte regins.

M: We’re glad t have Dr Garfield t talk t us tday abut dreams. Let me start by asking the first questin. Des everyne dream?
W: It appears that everyne des. Mstly, when peple say that they never dream, what they really mean is that they dn’t remember their dreams r they dn’t think their dreams are imprtant. The reasn behind is that they might have been made fun f as a child when they first reprted their dreams r it was s frightening that they just turned ff dreaming cmpletely. The ther day smene named Davis came t me and said that he used t be a great dreamer. But suddenly, he stpped having dreams. I asked him what had happened. It turned ut that his brther died f a heart attack. And he never expected that such a terrible thing wuld happen t a yung persn. Generally, when there was sme frightening event and t dream abut it was t terrible, peple prefer nt t dream abut it. Actually, the wrst thing yu can d is stp dreaming, because it means that the bad experience was t painful t even appear in dreams. As lng as yu’re dreaming abut it and even if the dreams are frightening, yur mind is wrking n it. My persnal pinin abut what dreams d is that they help us deal with ur prblems. We see certain patterns take place in dreams when a persn is hurt deep inside, when a persn is seriusly ill r when a persn has been really sad. If peple turn ff their dreams ttally, it means they dn’t allw themselves t even think abut it.
