5.It was in the Victorian Era(维多利亚时期) that the novel became the leading form of literature in English.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 an 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 1846they 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.

10.I left university with a good degree in English Literature,but no sense of what I wanted to do.Over the next six years,I was treading water, just trying to earn an income.I tried journalism,but I didn't think I was any good,then finance,which I hated.Finally,I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher.I loved working with books,although the job that I did was dull.
I had enough savings to take a year off work,and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel.Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000words.
It takes confidence to make a new start-there's a dark period in-between where you're neither one thing nor the other.You're out for dinner and people ask what you do,and you're too ashamed to say,"Well,I'm writing a novel,but I'm not quite sure if I'm going to get there."My confidence dived.Believing my novel could not be published,I put it aside.
Then I met an agent(代理商)who said I should send my novel out to agents.So,I did and,to my surprise,got some wonderful feedback.I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and,after signing with an agent,I finished the second half of the novel.
The next problem was finding a publisher.After two-and-a-half years of no income,just waiting and wondering,a publisher offered me a book deal-that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.
It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck-of fate,really.When you set out to do something different,there's no end in sight,so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract(合同)of the publisher-to be a published writer-is unbelievably rewarding(有回报的).
29.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1mean?C
A.I was waiting for good fortune.
B.I was trying to find an admirable job.

17.Driving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance.It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected,When alcohol is consumed,it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant (抑制药),damaging eyesight,judgment and co-ordination (协调),slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents.Even below the drink driving link,driving well be affected.
Alc ohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain.Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice.To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.
The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is:
●50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood;or
●22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath;or
●67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine(尿液)
Drivers who cause traffic accidents,or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.
Any drive found drinking beyond the limit will be charged.The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving-offence points; or temporarily banned from driving.
The same punishment applices to failing to provide speciments(本) far breath,blood or urine tests without good excuse.
Drink driving is a criminal offebce.Be a responsible,driver,think before you drink.For the safety of yourself and other road users,never drive after consuming alcohol.

14.Memory,they say,is a matter of practice and exercise.If you have the wish and really made a conscious(自觉的)effort,then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things.But even if you are successful,there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.
Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen.One morning last week,for example,I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night,yet I clearly remember locking it carefully the night before.
Memory"trick"work the other way as well.Once in a while you remember not doing something,and then find out that you did.One day last month,for example,I was sitting in a barber(理发师)shop waiting for my turn to get a haircut,and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barber shop across the street from my office.
