To use a slang(俚语) expression, they could say, "You look【C4】______cool!"
   But if something smarts, it can be【C5】______or hurtful, either physically or mentally. If you accidentally trip over a chair and【C6】______, you might shout, "Wow! That smarts!" Or if a friend says something that【C7】______your feelings, you can say you are smarting from the upsetting【C8】______.
   If you are standing too close to a campfire, you could say your eyes are smarting from the smoke of the fire. Here the word "smarting" means a sharp【C9】______. But the most common meaning of smart is to be intelligent. If someone is smart as a whip(鞭子) , they have the【C10】______to think very quickly.
   People have【C11】______ways of being smart. Some people are considered street smart. They may not have a strong education.

【C7】
选项 A、hurts
B、expresses
C、matches
D、affects
答案A
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“如果你的朋友说了一些伤害你感情的话”。hurt one’s feelings为固定搭配，意为“伤害某人的感情”。故选A。
