Much of literary criticism looks at works regardless of the time they were written in; in other words, too many literary critics judge past works by the standards of their own time and values. For example, in today's world nearly everyone in developing and developed countries can read, a fact many of these professional critics ignore. Only in the late 19th century did public education slowly develop, thereby allowing "the masses" to read and write. Before that, only the educated of the upper classes could enjoy reading. Novels written at that time were aimed at these classes; those aimed at the "general reading public" developed only in the 20th century. It is unfair, therefore, to judge books written more than a hundred years ago by today's social values. 不少的文學批評在看待文學作品時，對於作品本身的時空背景均不予理會。換言之，太多的文學批評家都是從自己的時代和價值觀點來論斷過去的作品。舉例來說，在現今的世界，不論是開發中或已開發國家，幾乎人人都能閱讀。這個事實是現今很多專業批評家所忽略的。直到十九世紀末期大眾教育才慢慢成形，因此便讓『一般大眾』能讀能寫了。在此之前，只有上流階級的知識份子才能享受閱讀的樂趣。當時的小說就是針對這些階級而寫的。針對『一般讀者大眾』的小說是在二十世紀才發展出來。所以用今天的社會價值觀來評定一百多年前所寫的書是不公平的。

OK, guys, listen up. My name is Eric Thurmond, and I'm the leader of the second floor. For all you new guys, we have some rules around here that have worked over the years to everyone's advantage, and we need you to observe them. First, keep the bathroom clean. We have 24 guys in six rooms on this floor, so we have to keep things in good order, especially the bathroom. No one wants to be getting sick, right? Anyone caught not cooperating on keeping the bathroom clean will have bathroom duty two times. Otherwise, we take turns, two different guys each weekend throughout the semester. Second, for security reasons, make sure you lock the gate if you come back after 10:00 p.m. I don't have to explain that. Finally, keep it quiet especially at night! We're here to study, not to fool around all day. Violators will be warned only once on this rule, then, you're out! 好的，大家聽到。我的名字叫艾瑞克．瑟蒙，我是二樓的『樓長』。對於所有新進的弟兄，我們有一些在此奉行多年、對大家有益的規則要你們遵守。第一，要維持廁所乾淨整潔。我們這一層樓六個房間住有二十四個人，所以務必要把東西收拾整齊，尤以廁所為然。沒有人想要生病，對吧？任何人只要被發現未能配合維持廁所清潔的話，將有兩次罰掃廁所的勤務。否則，大家輪流清掃，每個週末替換兩個人直到本學期結束。其次，為了安全起見，如果你在晚上十點後回來，務必要將大門鎖上。這點我無需解釋。最後一點，請大家保持安靜，尤其是在晚上！我們是來這裡讀書的，不是來這裡整天胡鬧的。違反此規定者將被警告一次，再犯者則予以逐出！

I'm now adding some conditioner after shampooing her hair. Remember, though, to make sure to wash out all the soap before adding the conditioner. Add it when the hair is still wet. As with shampooing, gently massage the conditioner into the hair, right down to the skin. Likewise, never use your fingernails to scrub the hair or the skin. That will only break the hair or loosen the hair on the scalp, resulting in dry skin or "snow." Leave the conditioner there for 10 to 15 minutes, wash thoroughly, and then take your client to the next step, the manicure. For that, allow me to introduce Kerri Halloway, who will demonstrate the correct way to treat fingernails. 用洗髮精洗好她的頭髮後，我現在要加點潤絲精。不過，記得務必將洗髮精沖洗乾淨之後再使用潤絲精，而且要在頭髮未乾之前使用。就像使用洗髮精一樣，要將潤絲精輕輕按摩到頭髮裡以滲入皮膚。同樣地，千萬不要用指甲來抓洗頭髮或皮膚。這樣子會使頭髮斷裂或使頭皮上的頭髮鬆弛無力，造成皮膚乾燥或頭皮屑。讓潤絲精維持十到十五分鐘，徹底洗淨，然後帶妳的客人至下一個步驟，即『修指甲』。關於這一項，容我介紹凱莉．哈勒維給大家認識，她會為大家示範處理指甲的正確方式。

A.would have lived B.might live C.lived D.had lived 答案： D 你的答案：D
這個人講話的態勢好像他住在國外很久似的。 理由: a.本句測試as if/as though (彷彿) 所引導的副詞子句, 屬假設語氣, 句型如下: 1)as if/ as though所引導的副詞子句若表示與現在事實相反時, 動詞使用過去式, be動詞一律則用were。 例:He talks as if he knew everything about it. (他說得好像自己是萬事通一樣。) The poor guy acts as if he were a millionaire. (這個窮光蛋表現得彷彿就是個百萬富翁一樣。) 2)as if/as though所引導的副詞子句若表示與過去事實相反時, 動詞使用過去完成式 (had + p.p.)。 例:He talked as if he had been to the States before. (他說得好像自己以前去過美國一樣。) 3)as if/as though也可使用一般時態, 意即使用現在式, 以表示極大的可能。 例:He talks as if he knows everything about it. (他說話時，彷彿好像什麼都懂。──極有可能是真的) b.原題中talked與gestured均為過去式, 故得知as if引導的副詞子句時態應為過去完 成式, 以與過去事實相反, 故(D)應為正選。
