21、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(贵族化的)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(吹牛)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(欺诈的)than the appearance of humility(谦逊).” 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 Li Gang.
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 win others’ sympathy.
B.To earn others’ admiration.
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.Roundabout.
B.Straightforward.
C.Ambiguous.
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.If you want to be perceived positively, avoid using Versailles literature.

24、GRODNO, Belarus—The temperature is close to zero in the evening. Several young refugees are washing their hair with cold water by the fire, helping each other trim beards to look better in front of the camera during interviews. At the border between Belarus and Poland, in a forest far from settlements of both countries, many refugees longing for entering Germany and other rich European Union(EU) countries, who are stranded, are struggling in the cold winter with uncertain future prospects.
On the side of the barbed wire stretching for hundreds of meters along the border, children are chasing each other around camping tents and shelters—which are built with branches of trees and dry grass and swaying in freezing winds—laughing. while adults are not so blessed, though.
Two middle-aged men lifted the trunk of a log and then released it to chop the wood by gravity. Making a fire with wood is the only way to keep warm for these people in the harsh winter. Several other refugees are heating a 500 ml thermos on the fire, waiting for a sip of hot water. A father is taking his four-month-old baby to the food tent.

The weather is getting colder and people are starting to fall sick, said an Iraqi Kurdish high school math teacher calling himself Karzan, whose family raised 1,000 U.S. dollars to support him to seek asylum in Germany as life in his hometown had become too difficult.
According to Karzan, the intermediary company promised that he would be able to cross the border of Germany three days after arriving in Belarus. He was promised: “Tomorrow the border will open at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and you can go to Poland and then to Germany. The government promised.”
After checking with Belarusian border guards, the reporter got the answer: "The refugees do not know where this news came from, but rumors are in the air.”
