new novel, but that his mood would gradually __38__ as he wrote. As he neared completion of a novel,

第一篇：
Are you considering online dating but feeling nervous? Believe me, you’re not the only one. But the Internet
is a great way to meet fun, eligible people. Here are some tips for staying safe and having a good time:
Get specific in your online profile. Write about yourself in a way that paints a vivid picture of who you are.
Don’t just say you love to travel but include a brief story about your journey to Africa. How is someone going to be
interested if you just say you love dogs and movies?
Never disclose too much personal information. No matter how charming your online pen pal is, no one
deserves your phone number. That way, the person won’t be able to keep calling if you’ve decided later you’re not
interested. And never give out a home address until after you’ve gone on a few dates.
Give someone the chance to impress you. When communicating with someone for the first time, you may
think this person isn’t attractive enough and quickly decide not to meet. But you could be depriving yourself of a
fantastic opportunity if you don’t give this person a second chance. Don’t be rigid； first impressions aren’t always
the whole story.
Telling little white lies could backfire. Be honest online because it’s the right thing to do – and because you
will have to live with the consequences of any fibs you tell. Most people would get angry when they find out their
online date is 30 pounds heavier or 10 years older than he or she claimed to be. Don’t exaggerate and don’t set
yourself up to be a disappointment. You want to exceed expectations.
Refrain from doing all the talking. It’s so much fun to express yourself online that you might not realize your
potential date has not been typing much back. Or you might feel so nervous when you talk on the phone that you
monopolize the conversation. It’s important that you give the other person time to talk and that you listen
attentively. Communication should be reciprocal. 【題組】42. What is wrong with telling a potential date that you love dogs and movies?
(A) The other person might not be as interested in those things as you do.
(B) You could ruin a chance for a date by bringing up controversial topics.
(C) Those hobbies would give an impression that you are somewhat girly.
(D) It is too general to give a vivid picture of who you are.
【題組】44. What could “little white lies” lead to?
(A) You would get kicked out from the dating website.
(B) You would let your date down when you meet.
(C) You would be shot from behind by your date.
(D) You would also be lied to by your date afterwards.
