Exercises
I. Reading for information 。

A. Reading to find main ideas
1.B
2. A
B. Reading to find major details
3 . D 4. C
C. Reading to find relevant facts
5. B
6. D
II. Translation
Translate the following sentences into Chinese.
1 Is love an art? Then it requires knowledge and effort. Or is love a pleasantsensation, which to experience is a matter of chance, something one “fallsinto” if one is lucky?
爱是一种艺术吗?如果是,它就需要靠知识和努力来争取。

或者爱是一种愉快的感受,能否体验到它是机率的问题,如果一个人运气好就能够“坠入爱河”?
2 Most people see the problem of love primarily as that of “being loved,” rather than that of “loving,” of one’s capacity to love. Hence the problem to them is how to be loved, how to be lovable.大多数人认为爱这个问题主要是被爱,而不是主动去爱,或者主动去爱的能力。

因此,他们的问题便是如何被爱,怎样变得招人爱。

3 A second premise behind the attitude that there is nothing to be learnedabout love is the assumption that the problem of love is the problem of an“object,” not the problem of a “faculty.”
关于爱没有什么可学,这一想法背后的第二个前提是一个假设,此假设认为爱的问题是对象的问题,而不是能力的问题。

4 I am out for a bargain; the object should be desirable from the standpoint of its social value, and at the same time should want me, considering my overt and hidden assets and potentialities.
我来做一笔交易:爱的对象从他的社会价值来看应该是理想的,与此同时他也应该出于对我显性的和隐性的资质和潜力的考虑而接纳我。

5 The two persons become well acquainted, their intimacy loses more andmore its miraculous character, until their antagonism, their disappointments, their mutual boredom kill whatever is left of the initial excitement.
两个人变得很熟悉了,他们的亲密感越来越多地失去了神秘色彩,直到他们的对抗、失望和彼此的厌倦抹杀了最初兴奋感消逝后残留下来的点滴东西。

6 This attitude — that nothing is easier than to love — has continued to bethe prevalent idea about love in spite of the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
爱是再简单不过的事,这一观点至今仍然十分盛行,尽管有大量证据与此相悖。

III. Summary
Complete the following statements with words and expressions from the box. Use their proper forms.
1 Most people think love is a fortunate accident, which to experience is merely a matter of chance . They yearn for it, but hardly anyone regards love as an art which needs to be learned about .
2 This mistaken idea is based on several premises. The first is that most people see love primarily as
a problem of how to be loved , rather than that of loving.
3 The second premise behind this attitude is the assumption that to love is simple, but to find the right object to love is difficult. This attitude actually has several deep-rooted reasons concerning the development of modern society.
4 The third error leading to the wrong idea is that people often confuse the initial excitement of falling in love and the permanent state of standing in love. They don’t know that love is what is left over when passion has burned away..
5 We should face up to the fact that love is an art. To learn an art, we should not only grasp the theoretical knowledge but have a lot of practice. Besides, we should consider the mastery of the art to be more important than any thing else such as money, success, prestige and power.
Part II Reading for Pleasure
Exercise
Answer the following questions.
1 What brought about a remarkable change for the writer’s family back in1998?
His father’s kidney disease.
2 Why did the writer’s parents choose to s tay together when they were about to split?
They chose to stay together because of their faith. They believed that God had a reason for them to remain married, and resigned themselves to sharing their lives.
3 Did the writer’s mother stand by her husband’s side through all the surgeries and procedures to combat his disease?
Yes, she did. During it all, his mother stood by, sympathetic and elpful. His parents worked as a team just to get his father through the crisis.
4 Why was the disease financially devastating to the family?
The writer’s dad was too sick to work, and he lost his consulting business: throughout the same period, his mom was downsized from two different jobs.
So for months they had no income and were in real danger of losing their house.
5 After the kidney transplant, in what aspects has the writer’s father changed himself?
He’s mellowed, and he has more patience than before. He’s not condescending to his wife anymore.。
