单选题21.【C1】
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】根据下文可知，空后的“someone could say you look smart or．．．”是作者举的一个例子，所以此处应用for example(例如)。in fact：事实上，实际上；at least：少；after all：毕竟，终究。故选A。
【答案解析】根据上文中的“it can be unkind or hurtful”和下文中的upsetting(令人不高兴的)可知，此处表示“如果一个朋友说了一些伤害你感情的话”，所以hurt(伤害)符合语境。另外，hurt one’s feelings为固定搭配，意为“伤害某人的感情”。express：表达，表示；match：相配；affect：影响。故选A。
