18、. He wrote over twenty novels and many of his characters are as familiar to today were to readers in Dickens ' s day. In the early nineteenth centurthere was a rise in literacy and everyone, from the ordinary workman to Queen Victoria herself, read Dickens ' s novels.His popularity was in pa

19、rt due to his ability to capture the imagination of his audience by creating unforgettable characters such as the orphan Oliver in Oliver Twist or the escaped convict Magwitch in Great Expectations. He described the lives of ordinary people during the industrial revolution and he had a deep understa

20、nding of the hardships suffered by the poor because of his own childhood.He was also capable of incredible wit （ 機智）as is demonstrated in his first and brilliantly comic novel, The Pickwick Papers. This was an instant success with his Victorian audience and is still considered to be one of the funni

21、est books ever written in English.But there was another reason for the amazing success of his novels and that was the way they were published. All of his major novels were published in magazines in weekly or monthly instalments. Serial publication had several advantages. In those days, the price of

22、a book was far too expensive for ordinary peoplea novel cost 20shillings or more and the average worker only earned between 5 and 30 shillings a week.Dickens ' novels appeared in magazines as weekly or monthly instalments. These magazines cost under a shilling and were within the price range of

23、ordinary people. For the publisher, it increased the market for fiction because more people could afford to buy the magazines.Dickens wrote his stories with this serial style of publishing in mind, planning each instalment carefully to keep the attention of his audience. He had to make sure that at

24、the end of each instalment there was suspense（懸念） which would make readers wonder what would happen next and as a result they would buy the next magazine. This created a special style of novel which is organised into regular chapters. Not until the whole story had been published in serial form did i

25、t appear as a complete novel.This type of publishing was extremely common throughout the nineteenth century and many other novelists also published in serial form. But unlike Dickens, these other writers never published the first instalment of a novel until they had written the complete work. Dicken

26、s had so much energy and such an exceptional imagination that he was able to keep to the tight writing schedules required by serial publication for nearly 35 years!From around the 1850s, many of Dickens' s earlier nove-iswere re weekly or monthly parts in whatwas called the Cheap Edition. This w

27、as a similar idea to today' s cheap paperbacks which are published atyear after the more expensive hard back books.24. Which of the following is NOT the reason for the success of Dickens' s novels?A. Queen Victoria recommended Dickens' s novels to readers.B. The characters Dickens create

28、d were unforgettable.C. His books were interesting.D. The method of serial publishing made the magazines affordable .25. The underlined word " instalments " in the 4th paragraph could be best replaced byA. serial publicationB. low priceC. different styleD. close connection26. How did Dicke

31、s individuals who are different from all other individuals, whether those others are Americans or foreigners. Americans may say they have no culture, since they often think of culture as an additional quality of customs to be found only in other countries. Individual Americans may think they chose t

32、heir own values, rather than having had their values forced on them by the society in which they were born. If you ask them to tell you something about "American culture" they may be unable to answer and they may even deny that there is an "American culture"."|Because they t

33、hink they are responsible as individuals for having chosen their basic values and their way of life, many Americans don ' t like generalisatior)sothers make about them.Generalisations disturb Americans. They may be unhappy with the thought that they hold certain ideas and act in certain ways sim

34、ply because they were born and raised in the United States, and not because they had consciously thought about those ideas and ways of doing things and chosen the ones they preferred.At the same time, Americans will readily generalise about various subgroups within their own country. Northerners hav

35、e fixed views about Southerners, and vice versa. There are fixed views of people from the country and people from the city; people from the coasts and people from inland; people from the Midwest; minority ethnic groups; Texans; New Yorkers; Californians; Iowans; and so on.Therefore, Americans see fe

36、w generalisations that can safely be made about them, in part because they are "so individualistic" and in part because they think regional and other kinds of differences clearly distinguish Americans of various groups from each other.28. Americans, when in the United States, see themselve

40、 desire for a firm answereotion. Our need for closure is our natural preference for definite answers over confusion and uncertainty. Every person has their own baseline level of need for closure. It likely evolved via natural selection.What I find really fascinating is how our need for closure is af

41、fected by the situation we'Our need for closure rises when we have to act rather than just observe, and it matters much more when we rushed, or bored, or tired. Any stress can make our discomfort with uncertainty increase, and a high need for closure negatively influences some of our most import

42、ant decisions: who we decide to trust, whether we admit we' re wrong and even how creative we are.In hiring, for instance, a high need for closure leads people to put far too much weight on their first impression.It ' s called the Urgency Effect. In one experiment, psychologists tried to low

43、er people' s need fcthem, right before participants are about to make va rious judgments of a job candidate, that they' ll be responsitsome way for them, or that their judgments have serious consequences.In making any big decision, it 'not enough just to know that we should take our time

44、. We all know that important deci sions shouldn ' t be rushed. The problem is that we don' t keep that advice in mind when it matteone of the best solutions is to formalize the reminders. Before making important decisions, write down not just advantages and disadvantages but what the consequ

45、ences could be. Also, think about how much pressure you under. If your need for closure is particularly high that day, it' s even more important to think twice.32. How does "need for closure" probably come into being?A. By acquiring.B. By accident.C. By nature.D. By imitating.33. It ca
