As a historian who's always searching for the text or the image that makes us re-evaluate the past，I've become preoccupied with looking for photographs that show our Victorian ancestors smiling（what better way to shatter the image of 19th-century prudery？）.I've found quite a few，and - since I started posting them on Twitter - they have been causing quite a stir.People have been surprised to see evidence that Victorians had fun and could，and did，laugh.They are noting that the Victorians suddenly seem to become more human as the hundred-or-so years that separate us fade away through our common experience of laughter.不同单候复你办法社拉工 Of course，I need to concede that my collection of 'Smiling Victorians' makes up only a tiny percentage of the vast catalogue of photographic portraiture created between 1840 and 1900，the majority of which show sitters posing miserably and stiffly in front of painted backdrops，or staring absently into the middle distance.How do we explain this trend？不同单候复你办法社拉工 During the 1840s and 1850s，in the early days of photography，exposure times were notoriously long：the daguerreotype photographic method （producing an image on a silvered copper plate） could take several minutes to complete，resulting in blurred images as sitters shifted position or adjusted their limbs.The thought of holding a fixed grin as the camera performed its magical duties was too much to contemplate，and so a non-committal blank stare became the norm.不同单候复你办法社拉工 But exposure times were much quicker by the 1 880s，and the introduction of the Box Brownie and other portable cameras meant that，though slow by today's digital standards，the exposure was almost instantaneous.Spontaneous smiles were relatively easy to capture by the 1890s，so we must look elsewhere for an explanation of why Victorians still hesitated to smile.不同单候复你办法社拉工 One explanation might be the loss of dignity displayed through a cheesy grin. "Nature gave us lips to conceal our teeth." ran one popular Victorian maxim，alluding to the fact that before the birth of proper dentistry mouths were often in a shocking state of hygiene.A flashing set of healthy and clean，regular "pearly whites" was a rare sight in Victorian society，the preserve of the super- rich（and even then，dental hygiene was not guaranteed）.不同单候复你办法社拉工 A toothy grin（especially when there were gaps or blackened gnashers）lacked class：drunks，tramps and music hall performers might gurn and grin with a smile as wide as Lewis Carroll's gum-exposing Cheshire Cat，but it was not a becoming look for properly bred persons.Even Mark Twain，a man who enjoyed a hearty laugh，said that when it came to photographic portraits there could be "nothing more damning than a silly，foolish smile fixed forever".不同单候复你办法社拉工不同单候复你办法社拉工（1）According to paragraph 1，the author's posts on Twitter ______.不同单候复你办法社拉工A.illustrated the development of Victorian photography.不同单候复你办法社拉工B.highlighted social media's tole in Victorian researches.不同单候复你办法社拉工C.re-evaluated the Victorian's notion of public image.不同单候复你办法社拉工D.transformed people's initial cognition of the Victorians.不同单候复你办法社拉工（2）Mark Twain is quoted to show that the disapproval of smiles in pictures was ______.不同单候复你办法社拉工A.a thought-provoking idea不同单候复你办法社拉工B.a two-edged sword不同单候复你办法社拉工C.a controversial view不同单候复你办法社拉工D.a deep-rooted belief不同单候复你办法社拉工（3）Which of the following questions does the text answer？ ______不同单候复你办法社拉工A.When did the Victorians start to view photograph differently？不同单候复你办法社拉工B.How come most Victorians looked stem and stiff in photographs？不同单候复你办法社拉工C.How can re-assessing pasts reveal the contemporary tendency？不同单候复你办法社拉工D.How did smiling in photograph become a post-Victorian norm？

Do you have a spare room in your house? What about a driveway for your car? Both of these can help you make money.Many people who are feeling the pinch are taking advantage of what’s been called the “sharing economy”.Perhaps the best-known example of a company in this field is Airbnb---an American web business which allows you to rent out your spare room to holidaymakers.It says it operates in 34,000 cities and it has over 1,500,000 listings.It seems to have concerned the market!A British company is doing something with parking spaces.JustPark’s founder, Anthony Eskinazi, says ,“When I had the original idea,Ispotted a driveway close to a sports stadium.It would have been so convenient if I could have just parked in that driveway rather than in commercial car park.” And he has a big clientele(客户):around 20,000 people have advertised their spaces on the site,and he says around half a million drivers use it.There are other sites doing very similar things,like Uber and Lyft---these let drivers share their cars with other passengers.Any driver knows how valuable a place to park is .A church near Kings Cross in central London has apparently made over £200,000 by renting out space in its yard to travelers!Because this is a new business world,those rules aren’t there yet and many people are happy to share...as long as it pays!But the sharing economy has its critics:the competitors of these new companies.People who run things like traditional B&B, commercial car parks and taxi services are afraid of ending up out of pocket.And there is another issue:regulations on these new business are unclear.How will renting out your driveway affect your neighbor?12. What does the underlined phrase “feeling the pinch” probably mean?A. Lacking in money B. Full of curiosityC. Willing to help others D. Unsatisfied with their life13. Who may be against the sharing economy?A. A taxi driver who can’t find a a parking place B. A priest in the church near Kings CrossC. A traveller who needs accomodiation D. A well-known high-end holiday hotel14. Why are many people pleased to share according to paragraph 4?A. They can gain huge profits B. They needn’t pay any feeC. There are few rules to limit them D. The new business has no risks15. Which of the following words can best describe the booming business?A. Creative and developed B. Competitive but unpracticalC. Effective and worrying D. Traditional and acceptable
