爱是再简单不过的事，这一观点至今仍然十分盛行，尽管大量事实都对此予以否定。几乎找不到任何一种活动、任何一项事业像爱情这样满怀希望地开始，又频繁地以失败而告终。如果换了别的事情，人们一定会急于知晓失败的原因，思量如何才能做得更好，或者干脆放弃。既然人们永远不可能放弃爱情，那么要战胜失败，似乎就只有一个办法可行，那就是探究失败的原因，进而领会爱的真义。III. Summary

Exercises

I.Answer the following questions.

1. Why did the woman quicken her steps after she saw the author behind her? Because it seemed to her that the author who was a young black man, was too menacingly close to her and made her feel nervous.

2. What does “language of fear” mean in Line 31?

It means the way in which people express their fear. In most cases, it is not a verbal expression, but an action such as hammering down the door locks of the car, crossing to the other side of the street rather than passing the author in a deserted street.

3. Why was the author not conscious of the threat he posed to pedestrians before he was 22?

Because in the place where he grew up, there were a lot of gang warfare, street knifings, and murders, and he was not one of the bad boys.

4. How does the author feel about his being mistaken for a criminal?

He gradually learns to smother the rage and make himself seem less threatening. 5. According to the author, what is the most effective way to reduce tension people feel in his presence?

He believes that whistling melodies from famous composers like Beethoven and Vivaldi can reduce the tension, because people know that a mugger will not do that.
