Part II Passage Reading
Text
Arabella and Cupid
Mary Corrigan
1.There couldn't have been a worse place for Arabella to have a puncture right in front of the entrance to the church.
2.Geoff looked at the line of smart cars along the Kerb. Arabella looked hopelessly out of place. Her staid lines simply screamed 1952 at the long, sleek late-model cars,and brought forth a ripple of mirth from the by-standers.”Oh,look, Doreen,there;s the bride‟s car,”giggled the woman with the string bag, flourishing her umbrella at Arabella.
3.Geoff set about changing the ryre, to the zccompaniment of much urgingand criticism from String Bag,Doree and company. It was hot work, standing in the sun, waiting for the bride to emerge, and they welcomed Geoff‟s plight as the sun, waiting for the bride to emerge, and they welcomed Geoff‟s plight as a sort of curtain raiser to entertain them until the main act came on.
Geoff fumed. “Old buzzards,” he muttered. “Nothing else to do with their Saturday afternoons but hang around churches and goggle at brides.
4.“Put a bit of elbow grease into it , laddie,”said Doreen. “You don‟t want to hold up the wedding party. You‟re right in the way of the bride‟s car. Oh, look,here it comes.”The black limousine honked its horn behind him. Geoff wished he had stayed in Sydhey until Monday. He coursed the urge to have his first weekend at home in four
years, which had been responsible for his unofficial arrival in Brisbane three days ahead of time . Why hadn‟t he left Arabella sitting up on her blocks, where she had beenfor the last four years, instead of taking her out on the road?
5. “Look, Doreen, here‟s the guard of honour,”shrieked String Bag.
She prodded Geoff with her umbrella.”Hurry up,” she said. “the bride will be coming out any minute. You‟d better get this old scrapheap out of the way.”
6.Furiously, he worked at the ryre,and, just as he had it pumped up, he was conscious of a flurry of white tulle and confetti at the door of the church.
Strin Bag, Doreen and company had Mercifully turned away from him and uniformed guard of honour.
7.The bride‟s car renewed its impatient honking.He threw the pump into Arabella and seated himself behind the wheel.
He switched on the ignition and heaved a relieved sigh when she responded. He let in the clutch. Nothing happened. Arabella …s rear wheels were spinning in the air. He had forgotten to let down the jack!
By this time,the bride and groom were at the kerb, surrounded by the guard of honour, who hooted with delight at the sight of Arabella with her tail in the air,and the unhappy Geoff----a sorry picture of grease and dust in an old T-shirt.
One of them helpfully let down the jack while another held Arabella‟s backdoor wide open.
It all happened too quickly for Geoff. With a stately mock solemnity, the bride and groom entered Arabella, whose embarrassed chug-chugging was drowned in the raucous mirth of the guard of honour.
9.Geoff began to see the humour of the situation. With a grin he raised and enquiring eyebrow at the groom.
“Forward, James,”said the bridegroom. “To The Golden Bow by the longest possible route. The guests must arrive there before us.”
Arabella jerked forward.
The bride and groom rocked with laughter as the rest of the wedding party gave them a rousing, cheer. In the rear-vision mirror Geoff caught a glimpse of the limousine driver,scratching his head in puzzlement.
10.“wouldn‟t it be the stunt of the year,”said the bridegroom. “not to turn up at Golden?”
“Oh Bill,”giggled the bride. “don‟t be awful.”
“No seriously, Jessie, you and I and ---what‟s your name, old boy?”
“Call me Geoff.”
“...you and I and Geoffhere ought to celebrate with a burger. I‟m starving.
Do you like burgers, Geoff?”
Love them, said Bill, “what could be better? A short stop at a burger bar and on to surfers Paradise. No wedding reception, no speeches.How does that appeal to you,
Geoff?”
“There‟s just one thing,”said Geoff. “Arabella hasn‟t enough petrol to get to The Golden Bowl, let alone Surfers. Your car is still following us. Perhaps you‟d better change over.”
“Oh, no, Geoff,” said Jessie. “We‟ll buy some petrol, won‟t we ,Bill?”
“What do we use for money?Roger has my wallet. That‟s what the best man is for.”“That seems to settle it, then,”said Geoff, regretfully. “I haven‟t a bean.
You‟ll have to change cars...unless...”
“Unless what?:
“Well, I live just around this corner. We could go home and syphon some petrol out of my dad‟s car.”
“Good of you, Geoff! Give Arabella her head for home.”
13.To say that Mrs Bayliss was astonished would be putting it mildly. Looking up from her gardening, she blinked at the spectacle of Geoff coming the from path, followed by a vision of radiance in lace and tulle and an impeccably dressed airman in the uniform of a pilot officer.
14.“You‟re not seeing things,mum,”said Geoff. “meet Jessie and Bill.They‟ve just been married. Arabella‟s out of juice, and we‟re going to syphon some petrol out of the Jaguar.”
Mrs Bayliss had one answer for all situations:”What about a cup of tea?”She said serenely.
15.Geoff gave her a broad wink as he and Bill went off to attend to the petrol.
Jessie followed her into the kitchen and sat on the edge of the table in her finery while Mrs. Bayliss made the tea.
By the time the men reappeared, Jessie had told her the story of Arabella‟s mishap in front of the church and how Geoff had come to be chauffeur to a pair of complete strangers.
16.”Now Geoff, get into your good clothes, “said Bill. “You‟re coming to our wedding breakfast.”
Geoff protested, but weakly, knowing all the time that he was going to see this crazy joke through. The whole unorthodox procedure appealed to him.
Time enough to be serious on Monday, when he would be taking on his new job, with all the dignity it would demand He changed into his only suit, an old grey one, and in no time they were chugging off again in Arabella.
17.They arrived at Te Golden Bowl just as the guests were beginning to wonder what had become of the happy couple. The wedding breakfast was a light-hearted affair, with the bride and groom demanding that Geoff sit between them.
18.However,he declined. Geoff was a man of quick decisions and during the general introductions--”Janice, meet Geoff”--he suddenly knew why the whole thing had happened. He might have expected it. Arabella had always had a way of taking things
into her own hands, and this was how she decreed that he would find the ideal he had carried around in his heart ever since he could remember .
19.So it was that, declining the invitation to sit between the bride and groom, he seated himself next to the chief bridesmaid and made no attempt to conceal his adoration.By the time the toasts were beginning, he knew he would never let her out of his sight.
“Do you believe in love at first sight?” he whispered.
Janice‟s eyes were shining when she said softly, “Yes, I believe I do.”
20.THe chairman was saying,”And now I would like to call on a distinguished guest to say a few words. It is a surprise to see him among the guests, as I did not expect him to arrive in Brisbane until Monday. I refer, of course, to the newly appointed Commanding Officer at Amberley, Group Captain Geoffrey Bayliss, DFC.”
21.Geoff was as surprised as anyone. In his infatuation with Janice, he had not noticed the presence of his old school mate, Padre Teddy Collins. He rose to his feet, well aware of the looks of shocked apprehension on the faces of Bill and his fellow officers. The prank they had played on the poor inoffensive bloke in the broken-down car had rebounded with a vengeance, when the bloke turned out to be the new boss. 22.Geoff raised his glass. “Long life and prosperity,” he said “to the happy couple.”He looked around the long tables and grinnd disarmingly.
There was a spontaneous burst of applause from the young officers, who, in the last few minutes, had experienced surprise apprehension and relief.
23.”One more toast,” called Geoff. “I give you a fairy godmother called Arabella, who has her own way of making dreams come true.”
He resumed his seat and turned to Janice.
24.When Bill and Jessie were driving off in Bill‟s car, Jessie threw her bouquet right into Janice‟s arms.
25.“How appropriate,”murmured Geoff. The look in Janice‟s eyes told him all he wanted to know. He took her by the hand. “Come with me,” he said. “I want you to meet Arabella.”
Notes
1.Arabella looked hopelessly out of place:Geoff‟s car-Arabella-was dwarfed by those beautiful cars that were parked along the kerb of the road ,waiting for the bride and bridegroom and all the other fuests to come out of the church.
2.“Old buzzards”:”Buzzard”is a collective noun for all the hawk like birds;in slang it means a greedy and selfish person. In the text here, Geoff uses the phrase to show his anger at those people who are hanging around the church with nothing to do on purpose but just tease him and his old car.
3.“You‟re not seeing things, mum,”:You‟re not experiencing an illusion.”see things”, in colloquial English, just means having an illusion. By using this sentence, Geoff is telling his mother although this is really happening before her eyes.
4.Wedding breakfast:In the West, after the wedding ceremony, a banquet will be given to entertain all the guests and relatives who attend the wedding ceremony. Whether the banquet is served in the morning or midday, or even in the afternoon, it is all ”wedding breakfast”.

性背叛Vs情感不忠
莱维和他的同事克里斯滕•凯利邀请了超过400位大学生(四分之三是女性)完成感情联系中依属关系类型的标准评估,并且询问他们什么更痛苦,是情感不忠还是性背叛。
这一研究的结果印证了莱维的直觉:缺乏尊重型的男性认为性背叛更苦恼,而安全牢靠性的男性认为情感背叛更痛苦。
有点另人意想不到的是,女性的情况与此一样。
“所以看起来对性背叛的担忧是和缺乏尊重性的依属关系联系在一起的,与性别无关。
”莱维这样说。
然而那些缺乏尊重型的人看起来好像对两种不忠都不关心,莱维注意到这种依属关系是防御性的。
缺乏尊重性的人会疏远情感联系以避免自己受到伤害。
B.Translate the following into Chinese.
Cheating on a spouse or significant other is sure to cause feelings of jealousy and
hurt in the spurned partner.
But men and women differ on what part of cheating they think is the worst:Men tend to be more bothered by sexual infidelity, while most women are bothered more by emotional infidelity.
The prevailing explanation for this difference is the unique evolutionary roles played by men and women, but a new study suggests that it has more to do with the types of attachments people form in relationships.
The widespread evolutionary explanation posits that men rank sexual infidelity as the greater sin because over the eons they learned to be hyper-vigilant about sex, as they could never be absolutely certain that their children were actually theirs.Women, on the other hand, became more bothered by emotional infidelity, because they are concerned about having a partner to help raise their children.
A recent study found that men feel guiltier after a sexual discretion, while women feel guiltier after an emotional one.
The problem with the prevailing idea was that while men were more likely than women to rate sexual infidelity as worse than the emotional kind in studies, there was still a small subset of men who put emotional infidelity at the top of the list, said Kenneth levy, a psychologist at Penn State.

James Lincoln
1.John settled himself in the seat of the carriage as the train gathered speed.Well, he thought, that ends that. Secretly, he was rather glad it was all over. For a while ,the experience had been exhilarating, but as the days had passed, he had found the feeling of being a ladies‟ man① rather forced.
2.John‟s thoughts wandered back to the irksome everyday round of muddle and arguments that had led up to his experience-what was to have been his great adventure. First, and this rankled most, there had been the endless mess that his wife called house keeping. Nothing was ever in its right place②in the Morrison household③. To John‟s systematic, ordered mind, living in conditions of hectic chaos was nothing short of torture④. Then there had been the inevitable arguments which either ended by his going out alone for the evening , or by a frigid truce being observed ⑤until either John or Helen⑥would go to bed from sheer boredom.
3.He recollected how, as things progressed to their disordered worst, the germ of an idea had been born in his brain⑦; and how the idea had taken firm root, so that starting as a possibility it had become a firm intention, and later still an all-consuming obsession⑧.
