Unit 7The ChaserJohn Henry Collier1Alan Austen, as nervous as a kitten, went up certain dark and creaky stairs in the neighborhood of Pell Street, and peered about for a long time on the dim hallway before he found the name he wanted written obscurely on one of the doors.2He pushed open this door, as he had been told to do, and found himself in a tiny room, which contained no furniture but a plain kitchen table, a rocking-chair, and an ordinary chair. On one of the dirty buff-coloured walls were a couple of shelves, containing in all perhaps a dozen bottles and jars.3An old man sat in the rocking-chair, reading a newspaper. Alan, without a word, handed him the card he had been given. “Sit down, Mr. Austen,” said the old man very politely. “I am glad to make your acquaintance.”4“Is it true,” asked Alan, “that you have a certain mixture that has … er … quite extraordinary effects?”5“My dear sir,” replied the old man, “my stock in trade is not very large very large —— I don’t deal in laxative I don’t deal in laxatives and teething mixtures s and teething mixtures — but such as it is, it is varied. I think nothing I sell has effects which could be precisely described as ordinary.”6“Well, the fact is …” began Alan. 7“Here, for example,” interrupted the old man, reaching for a bottle from the shelf. “Here is a liquid as colourless as water, almost tasteless, quite imperceptible in coffee, wine, or any other beverage. It is also quite imperceptible to any known method of autopsy.”8“Do you mean it is a poison?” cried Alan, very muc much h horrified.9“Call it a glove glove--cleaner if you like,” said the old man indifferently. “Maybe it will clean gloves. I have never tried. One might call it a life-might call it a life-cleaner. Lives need cleaning sometimes.” cleaner. Lives need cleaning sometimes.” 10“I want nothing of that sort,” said Alan. 11“Probably it is just as well,” said the old man. “Do you know the price of this? For one teaspoonful, which is sufficient, I ask five thousand dollars. Never less. Not a penny less.”12“I hope all your mixtures are not as expensive,” said Alan apprehensively.13“Oh dear, no,” said the old man. “It would be no good charging that sort of price for a love potion, for example. Young people who need a love potion very seldom have five thousand dollars. Otherwise they would not need a love potion.” 14“I am glad to hear that,” said Alan.15“I look at it like this,” said the old man. “Please a customer with one article, and he will come back when he needs another. Even if it is more costly. He will save up for it, if necessary.” 16“So,” said Alan, “you really do sell love potions?” 17“If I did not sell love potions,” said the old man, reaching for another bottle, “I should not have mentioned the other matter to you. It is only when one is in a position to oblige that one can afford to be so afford to be so confidential. “ confidential. “18“And these potions,” said Alan. “They are not just … just … er …”19“Oh, no,” said the old man. “Their effects are permanent, and extend far beyond the mere casual impulse. But they include it. Oh, yes they include it. Bountifull yes they include it. Bountifully, insistently. Everlastingly.” y, insistently. Everlastingly.” 20“Dear me!” said Alan, attempting a look of scientific detachment. “How very interesting!”21“But consider the spiritual side,” said the old man. 22“I do, indeed,” said Alan. 23“For indifference,” said the old man, “they substitute devotion. For scorn, adoration. Give one tiny measure of this to the young lady young lady —— its flavour is imperceptible in orange juice, soup, or cocktails — and however gay and giddy she is, she will change altogether. She will want nothin altogether. She will want nothing but solitude and you.” g but solitude and you.”24“I can hardly believe it,” said Alan. “She is so fond of parties.” 25“She will not like them anymore,” said the old man. “She will be afraid of the pretty girls you may meet.”26“She will actually be jealous?” cried Alan in a rapture. “Of me?”27“Yes, she will want to be everything to you.” 28“She is, already. Only she doesn’t care about it.” 29“She will, when she has taken this. She will care intensely. You will be her sole interest in life.”30“Wonderful!” cried Alan. 31“She will want to know all you do,” said the old man. “All that has happened to you during the day. Every word of it. She will want to know what you are thinking about, why you smile suddenly, why you are looking sad.”32“That is love!” cried Alan. 33“Yes,” said the old man. “How carefully she will look after you! She will never allow you to be tired, to sit in a draught, to neglect your food. If you are an hour late, she will be terrified. She will think you are killed, or will think you are killed, or that some siren has caught you.” that some siren has caught you.” 34“I can hardly imagine Diana like that!” cried Alan, overwhelmed with joy.35 “You will not have to use your imagination,” said the old man. “And, by the way, since there are always sirens, if by any chance you should, later on, slip a little, you need not worry. She will forgive you, in the end. She will be terribly hurt, of course, but she will forgive you —— in the end.”will forgive you36 “That will not happen,” said Alan fervently.t, if it did, you need not 37 “Of course not,” said the old man. “Bu“Of course not,” said the old man. “But, if it did, you need not worry. She would never divorce you. Oh, no! And, of course, she will never give you the least, the very least, grounds for —uneasiness.”38 “And how much,” said Alan, “is this wonderful mixture?”39 “It is not as dear,” said the old man, “as the glove-cleaner, or life-cleaner, as I sometimes call it. No. That is five thousand dollars, never a penny less. One has to be older than you are, to indulge in that sort of thing. One has to save up for it.”40 “But the love potion?” said Alan.41 “Oh, that,” said the old man, opening the drawer in the kitchen table, and taking out a tiny, rather dirty-looking phial. “That is just a dollar.”42 “I can’t tell you how grateful I am,” said Alan, watching him fill it.43“I like to oblige,” said the old man. “Then customers come back, later in life, when they are better off, and want more expensive things.

Unit 7 The ChaserTeaching PointsBy the end of this unit, students are supposed to1)grasp the author’s purpose of writing and make clear the structure of the wholepassage through an intensive reading of Text I The chaser.2)comprehend the topic sentences in Text I thoroughly and be able to paraphrasethem.3)get a list of new words and structures and use them freely in conversation andwriting.Topics for discussion1)Do you believe love can be fostered? How can you lure one into love with you?2)What is likely to happen when a couple no longer love each other?Cultural Background1. Proposal of Marriage●The proposal of marriage is an event where one person in a relationship asks forthe other's hand in marriage.●If accepted, it marks the initiation of engagement.●It often has a ritual quality, sometimes involving the presentation of an engagementring and a formalize d asking of a question such as “Will you marry me?”●Often the proposal is a surprise.●In many Western cultures, the tradition has been for the man to propose to the woman.2. Engagement●An engagement is a promise to marry, and also the period of time between proposaland marriage – which may be lengthy or trivial.●During this period, a couple is said to be affianced, betrothed, engaged to bemarried, or simply engaged.●Future brides and grooms are often referred to as fiancée or fiancés respectively(from the French word “fiancé”).●The duration of the courtship varies vastly.●Long engagements were once common in formal arranged marriages.●In 2007, the average engagement time in the United States was 17 months, but thefigure around the world varies greatly depending on culture and customs.Text IThe ChaserJohn CollierGlobal ReadingI. Text AnalysisThe short story is a fable of love with a strong sarcastic tone. The protagonist, Alan Austen, wants to find an easy solution to the problem of love by purchasing a love potion. However，it’s not the love potion that the old man intends to sell primarily, but “life cleaner”.The theme of “The Chaser” is the cynicism of experience, portrayed on a field of Alan’s y outhful naivety and the old man’s pessimistic certainty.The title of this short story is somehow a pun. “A chaser”can be a person that pursues someone like in “a woman chaser”. In addition, it can refer to a weaker alcoholic drink taken after a strong one. A whisky, like the potion, intoxicates. A beer chaser, like the “life cleaner”, mollifies the harshness of the spirits. The potion and the poison go together like a strong alcoholic drink and a chaser..II. Structural AnalysisThis short story, which combines elements of horror and love, is built almost entirely through dialogue between a young man, Alan Austen, who is deeply in love and wants to possess his lover entirely, and an unnamed old man who believes in a life free of romanticinvolvement.In “The Chaser” John Collier uses:●the dramatic irony of the title to initialize a cynical landscape;●and the understatement of the ending to enclose the cynical world of the old man,a world which Alan is entering.Paragraph 1: In this part, the protagonist, Alan Austen, has been introduced. Paragraphs 2-12: The old man is trying to sell his mixture.Paragraphs 13-45: Austen got to know about the love potion and in the end bought it.Detailed ReadingQuestions1. What is the image of Alan Austen in the first part? (Paragraph 1)Alan Austen is depicted as a timid, skeptical and hesitant character. Through descriptions like “as nervous as a kitten,” “peering about for a long time on the dim hallway”, the writer creates a sense of apprehension.2. Why do you think the old man told Austen about the life-cleaner before selling the love potion? (Paragraph 7)The sophisticated old man had encountered many young men who had been in the grip of romantic desire before, but who eventually got tired of the possessive love they had experienced. He knew for sure that Austen’s possessive love wouldn’t last long. It would eventually bore and repel him. He expected that when his enthusiastic passion changed into hatred, Austen would come to him again, because he had already seen those disillusioned customers return to buy the “chaser” so that they could be free from the women for whom they had previously bought the love potion.3. What is the implied meaning of the old man’s remark, “Young people who need a love potion very seldom have five thousand dollars. Otherwise they would not need a love potion” (Paragraph 13)?What the old man means is that a young man who falls in love one-sidedly is seldom rich enough to win a girl’s heart; if he were rich enough, it would be much easier for him to win the girl’s hand. His words imply that money is one of the crucial factors for love. If a man is not rich, he can rarely expect to be loved by a girl.4. What is Austen’s understanding of love? (Paragraph s 23-32)Austen was filled with illusions and unrealistic expectations of love. To him, love meant the entire possession of the lover. When the old man talked about the magic effect of the love potion and described the expectant possessive love, Austen cried “That is love!”, which suggests that he was overwhelmed with joy.5. What does the old man’s remark in Paragraph 39 “… one has to be older than you are, to indulge in that sort of thing” mean?Young people tend to be over-passionate for love, sometimes senselessly and irrationally, while the old, just like the old man who sells the mixtures, would take a cool and sensible, sometimes even cynical attitude toward love.Text IIYoung Men and Elderly MenAristotleA Lead-in QuestionConsidering its time-honored history, Chinese culture tends to be compared to an old man in his eighties or even nineties. And it is very intriguing to find out that Chinese people as a whole are tolerant, practical, lack courage to take risks, which just resemble the characters of the elderly proposed by Aristotle in his Youth and Old Age.What do you think of Chinese people’s national character?Main ideaNotes1.About the author and the text: Aristotle (384 BC –322 BC) was a Greek philosopher,a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great. He wrote on many subjects,including physics, metaphysics, poetry, theater, music, logic, rhetoric, politics, government, ethics, biology and zoology. Together with Plato and Socrates (Plato's teacher), Aristotle is one of the most important founding figures in Western philosophy. He was the first to create a comprehensive system of Western philosophy, encompassing morality and aesthetics, logic and science, politics and metaphysics.The text Youth and Old Age is an excerpt from Aristotle’s Rhetoric(Book II, Chapter12).2.Pittacus’ remark about Amphiaraus (Paragraph 1): Pittacus (640-568 BC) was theson of Hyrradius and one of the Seven Sages of Greece. He was a native of Mytilene and the Mytilenaean general who, with his army, was victorious in the battle against the Athenians and their commander Phrynon. In consequence of this victory the Mytilenaeans held Pittacus in the greatest honour and presented the supreme power into his hands. After ten years of reign he resigned his position and the city and constitution were brought into good order. Some authors mention that he had a son called Tyrrhaeus. The legend says that his son was killed and when the murderer was brought before Pittacus, he dismissed the man, saying, "Pardon is better than repentance." Of this matter, Heraclitus says that he had got the murderer into his power and then he released him, saying, "Pardon is better than punishment."In Greek mythology, Amphiaraus was the son of Oecles and Hypermnestra, and husband of Eriphyle. Amphiaraus was the King of Argos along with Adrastus — the brother of Amphiaraus' wife, Eriphyle — and Iphis. Amphiaraus was a seer, and greatly honored in his time. Both Zeus and Apollo favored him, and Zeus gave him his oracular talent. In the generation before the Trojan War, Amphiaraos was one of the heroes present at the Calydonian Boar Hunt.3.Chilon’s precept (Paragraph 1): Chilon of Sparta was a Lacedaemonian, son ofDamagetus and one of the Seven Sages of Greece. He was elected an ephor in Sparta in 556/5 BC. It is recorded that he composed verses in elegiac metre to the number of two hundred. Chilon was also the first person who introduced the custom of joining the ephors to the kings as their counselors, though Satyrus attributes this institution to Lycurgus Chilon is said to have helped to overthrow the tyranny at Sicyon, which became a spartan ally. He is also credited with the change in Spartan policy leading tot the development of the Peloponnesian League in the sixth century BC. Chilon's teachings flourished around the beginning of the 6th century B.C. A legend says that he died of joy in the arms of his son, who had just gained a prize at the Olympic ga mes. His sayings include “Nothing in Excess”, which is the precept that Aristotle refers to.4.utility (Paragraph 2): Usefulness, or gain as referred to above:“I have alwaysdoubted the utility of these conferences on disarmament” (Winston S. Churchill).Additional Notes1. They are sanguine; nature warms their blood as though with excess of wine(Paragraph1): They are cheerful and literally red-faced, as if they have drunk too much wine.Literally, sanguine refers to a reddish, often tending to brown, color of chalk used in drawing.2. past their prime(Paragraph 2): past the best of one’s life. The prime, or the primetime, is the age of ideal physical perfection and intellectual vigor.3. hint of Bias (Paragraph 2): Bias is a Greek philosopher, and considered the wisest of all the Seven Sages of Greece. His famous sayings include: “All men are wicked.”“Choose the course which you adopt with deliberation; but when you have adopted it, then persevere in it with firmness." "Cherish wisdom as a means of traveling from youth to old age, for it is more lasting than any other possession.”Questions for Discussion1．How does Aristotle define expectation and memory respectively? How do you interpret expectation and memory?2. How are two types of people, the first type being those driven by reasoning and the other type motivated by moral goodness, normally respond to circumstances?3. What is the possible chief cause behind hesitation and indecision of the elderly?4. What special characteristics are the elderly apt to display in actualities?Key to Questions for Discussion1. Aristotle holds that a young man is a man of expectation, for he has a long future ahead of him, and an elderly man is a man of memory, for he has a long past behind him. So a young man tends to be confident, for a bright and promising future is always inspiring and an elderly is likely to be cautious, for he has gone through many upsand downs in life. A young man is less burdened, for he is not burdened with too many memories, and an elderly man is liable to be more burdened, for he has too many memories to indulge in. A young man is apt to commit errors and run into blunders, for he is not a dear teacher of rich experiences himself and an elderly man is less liable to commit grave mistakes, for he must have learnt so many lessons in life.2. Those who like to reason tend to be deep and sophisticated, so they are normally slow and cautious in their response to circumstances, for they take into careful account what consequences their response may lead to while those who give top priorities to moral goodness tend to be quick in their response to circumstances for anything noble and great can get their positive response promptly and anything lowly and ignoble can cause their negative response in no time.3. The elderly might have experienced many frustrations in life, many of which were beyond their expectation. As a result, they are less sure about life. Therefore, when faced with a choice in life, they tend to show hesitation and indecision.4. The elderly are engaged more in contemplation rather than action, for they prefer to reason than to feel; they are more cynical and distrustful, for they have seen too often the worse side of human nature; they are moderate in life attitude, so they display neither intense love nor intense hate in normal circumstances.Memorable QuotesAbout Pierre Corneille, Elbert Hubbard and William ShakespearePierre Corneille (1606-1684) has been called “the founder of French tragedy” and he was one of the three great seventeenth-century French dramatists, along with Molière and Racine.Elbert Green Hubbard(1856-1915) was an American writer, publisher, artist, and philosopher. He was an influential exponent of the Arts and Crafts movement and is, perhaps, most famous for his essay A Message to Garcia.William Shakespeare (1564–1616) was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest w riter in the English language and the world’s pre-eminent dramatist.。

She will think you are killed, or that some siren has caught you.”34 “I can hardly imagine Diana like that!” cried Alan, overwhelmed with joy.35 “You will not have to use your imagination,” said the old man. “And, by the way, since there are always sirens, if by any chance you should, later on, slip a little, you need not worry. She will forgive you, in the end. She will be terribly hurt, of course, but she will forgive you —in the end.”36 “That will not happen,” said Alan fervently.37 “Of course not,” said the old man. “Bu t, if it did, you need not worry. She would never divorce you. Oh, no! And, of course, she will never give you the least, the very least, grounds for —uneasiness.”38 “And how much,” said Alan, “is this wonderful mixture?”39 “It is not as dear,” said the old man, “as the glove-cleaner, or life-cleaner, as I sometimes call it. No. That is five thousand dollars, never a penny less. One has to be older than you are, to indulge in that sort of thing. One has to save up for it.”40 “But the love potion?” said Alan.41 “Oh, that,” said the old man, opening the drawer in the kitchen table, and taking outa tiny, rather dirty-looking phial. “That is just a dollar.”42 “I can’t tell you how grateful I am,” said Alan, watching him fill it.43 “I like to oblige,” said the old man. “Then customers come back, later in life, when they are better off, and want more expensive things. Here you are. You will find it very effective.”44 “Thank you again,” said Alan. “Good-bye.”45 “Au revoir,” said the man.解酒水艾伦·奥斯丁，紧得像只小猫，心里七上八下、忐忑不安的进了裴尔街区的一个楼道，黑乎乎的楼梯咯吱咯吱直响。

Judge‎, accor‎d ing to the text, wheth‎e r the follo‎w ing state‎m ents‎are true or false‎.1. F (Refer‎to Parag‎r aph 5. The old man says that his stock‎in trade‎is not very large‎, but it is varie‎d and has extra‎o rdin‎a ry effec‎t s.)2. F (Refer‎to Parag‎r aphs‎11 and 13. The price‎of a glove‎-clean‎e r, as he calls‎it, is very high, five thous‎a nd dolla‎r s for a teasp‎o onfu‎l, but the love potio‎n is very cheap‎.)3. F (Refer‎to Parag‎r aph 19. The old man claim‎s that the effec‎t s of love potio‎n s are perma‎n ent.)4. T (Refer‎to Parag‎r aphs‎24 and 28. Auste‎n says that Diana‎is fond of parti‎e s and, altho‎u gh she is every‎t hing‎to him alrea‎d y, she does not care about‎his love at all. That is why he decid‎e s to go to the old man for the love potio‎n and whene‎v er the old man menti‎o ns the magic‎of his potio‎n, he can't help "cryin‎g." From that, we can see the man loves‎the girl very much.)5. F (The old man sells‎the love potio‎n s almos‎t for nothi‎n g becau‎s e by doing‎so his custo‎m ers will come back for a much deare‎r commo‎d ity, the glove‎-clean‎e r, to help them out. It is the "death‎potio‎n" that the old man makes‎most of his profi‎t s from, and inten‎d s to sell to his custo‎m ers.)III. Answe‎r the follo‎w ing quest‎i ons.1. What the old man means‎is that a young‎man who falls‎in love one-sided‎l y is seldo‎m rich enoug‎h to win a girl's heart‎. His words‎imply‎that money‎is one of the cruci‎a l facto‎r s for love. If a man is not rich, he can rarel‎y expec‎t to be loved‎by a girl.2. Refer‎to Parag‎r aphs‎19 to 37. The love potio‎n has power‎f ul, everl‎a stin‎g effec‎t s. To begin‎with, it may produ‎c e sexua‎l desir‎e in the perso‎n who takes‎it. And on the spiri‎t ual side, it can repla‎c e indif‎f eren‎c e with devot‎i on and scorn‎with adora‎t ion. It will make a gay girl want nothi‎n g but solit‎u de and her lover‎'s compa‎n y. She will feel jealo‎u s of him when her lover‎is with other‎girls‎;she will want to be every‎t hing‎to him. She will be only inter‎e sted‎in her lover‎and take every‎conce‎r n of him. Even if he slips‎a bit, she will forgi‎v e him thoug‎h terri‎b ly hurt. In a word, she will fall in love with him if she drink‎s the love potio‎n.3. Refer‎to Parag‎r aphs‎39 to 43. It is an irony‎, by which‎the autho‎r seems‎to imply‎that love is far from being‎preci‎o us or desir‎a ble. It is easy for a man to fall in love, yet it is hardfor him to stick‎to it. Shoul‎d he regre‎t some day, he would‎have to pay a much highe‎r price‎to get himse‎l f out of it. Anywa‎y, for the old man, and for his custo‎m ers as he belie‎v es, the life-clean‎e r is more impor‎t ant than the love potio‎n.4. This means‎there‎is a wide diffe‎r ence‎betwe‎e n the young‎and the old. Young‎peopl‎e tend to be over-passi‎o nate‎for love, somet‎i mes sense‎l essl‎y and irrat‎i onal‎l y, while‎the old, just like the old man who sells‎the mixtu‎r es, would‎take a cool and sensi‎b le, somet‎i mes even cynic‎a l attit‎u de towar‎d s love.5. "Au revoi‎r," an urban‎e and polis‎h ed reply‎to the young‎man's good-bye, meani‎n g "until‎I see you again‎," indic‎a tes the old man's firm belie‎f that the young‎man will event‎u ally‎come back to him for the life-clean‎e r. This shows‎his cynic‎a l pessi‎m ism about‎love.IV. Expla‎i n in your own words‎the follo‎w ing sente‎n ces.1. "Just becau‎s e I am able to do you a favor‎/sell you the love potio‎n, I feel safe telli‎n g you so much about‎my other‎medic‎i nes."2. "They, the love potio‎n s," said the old man, "will help chang‎e the girl's attit‎u de towar‎d s you. She will no longe‎r hold you in conte‎m pt. Inste‎a d, She will begin‎to give you her deep-felt love and care."Struc‎t ural‎analy‎s is of the textThe last line "goodb‎y e, until‎we meet again‎"carri‎e s an ironi‎c doubl‎e meani‎n g. It's a conve‎n tion‎a l way to say goodb‎y e. And with all those‎clues‎given‎in the story‎,it also sugge‎s ts that the old man expec‎t s the young‎man will retur‎n for the glove‎-clean‎e r.Rheto‎r ical‎featu‎r es of the text"It would‎be no good charg‎i ng that sort of price‎for a love potio‎n. Young‎peopl‎e who need a love potio‎n very seldo‎m have five thous‎a nd dolla‎r s. Other‎w ise they would‎not need a love potio‎n." (Parag‎r aph 13)Vocab‎u lary‎exerc‎i sesI.

Unit 7The ChaserJohn Henry Collier1 Alan Austen, as nervous as a kitten, went up certain dark and creaky stairs in the neighborhood of Pell Street， and peered about for a long time on the dim hallway before he found the name he wanted written obscurely on one of the doors。

2 He pushed open this door， as he had been told to do， and found himself in a tiny room, which contained no furniture but a plain kitchen table， a rocking—chair, and an ordinary chair。

On one of the dirty buff—coloured walls were a couple of shelves，containing in all perhaps a dozen bottles and jars.3 An old man sat in the rocking—chair， reading a newspaper. Alan， without a word, handed him the card he had been given。

Unit 7 The ChaserKey to the ExercisesText comprehe nsionI. Decide which of the followi ng is likely to happe n after the story.CII. Judge, accord ing to the text, whether the followi ng stateme nts are true or false.1. F (Refer to Paragraph 5. The old man says that his stock in trade is not very large, butit is varied and has extraord inary effects.)2. F (Refer to Paragraphs 11 and 13. The price of a glove-clea ner, as he calls it, is very high, five thousa nd dollars for a teaspo on ful, but the love poti on is very cheap.)3. F (Refer to Paragraph 19. The old man claims that the effects of love potions are perma nen t.)4. T (Refer to Paragraphs 24 and 28. Austen says that Diana is fond of parties and, although she is everyth ing to him already, she does not care about his love at all. That iswhy he decides to go to the old man for the love potion and whenever the old man men ti ons the magic of his potio n, he can't help "cry in g." From that, we can see the man loves the girl very much.)5. F (The old man sells the love potions almost for nothing because by doing so his customers will come back for a much dearer commodity, the glove-clea ner, to help themout. It is the "death poti on" that the old man makes most of his profits from, and intends to sell to his customers.)III. An swer the follow ing questi ons.1. What the old man means is that a young man who falls in love on e-sidedly is seldom rich eno ugh to win a girl's heart. His words imply that money is one of the crucial factors for love. If a man is not rich, he can rarely expect to be loved by a girl.2. Refer to Paragraphs 19 to 37. The love potion has powerful, everlasting effects. To begi n with, it may produce sexual desire in the pers on who takes it. And on the spiritualside, it can replace in differe nee with devoti on and scor n with adorati on .It will make a gay girl want nothing but solitude and her lover's compa ny. She will feel jealous of him whe n her lover is with other girls; she will want to be everything to him. She will be only interested in her lover and take every concern of him. Even if he slips a bit, she will forgive him though terribly hurt. In a word, she will fall in love with him if she drinks the love potio n.3. Refer to Paragraphs 39 to 43. It is an irony, by which the author seems to imply that love is far from being precious or desirable. It is easy for a man to fall in love, yet it is hard for him to stick to it. Should he regret some day, he would have to pay a much higher price to get himself out of it. Any way, for the old man, and for his customers as he believes, the life-clea ner is more importa nt tha n the love poti on.4. This means there is a wide differe nee betwee n the young and the old. Young people tend to be over-passi on ate for love, sometimes sen selessly and irrati on ally, while the old, just like the old man who sells the mixtures, would take a cool and sen sible, sometimes even cyni cal attitude towards love.5. "Au revoir," an urbane and polished reply to the young man's good-bye, meaning "until I see you again，” indicates the old man's firm belief that the young man will even tually come back to him for the life-clea ner. This shows his cyni cal pessimism aboutlove.IV. Explai n in your own words the followi ng senten ces.1. "Just because I am able to do you a favor/sell you the love poti on, I feel safe telli ngyou so much about my other medic in es."2. "They, the love potions," said the old man, "will help change the girl's attitude towards you. She will no Ion ger hold you in con tempt. In stead, She will beg in to give youher deep-felt love and care."Structural an alysis of the textThe last line "goodbye, until we meet again" carries an ironic double meaning. It's a conventional way to say goodbye. And with all those clues given in the story, it also suggests that the old man expects the young man will retur n for the glove-clea ner.Rhetorical features of the text"It would be no good charg ing that sort of price for a love poti on. Young people who n eed a love poti on very seldom have five thousa nd dollars. Otherwise they would not n eed a love potio n." (Paragraph 13)Vocabulary exercisesI.

Unit 7 The Chaser Teaching plan综合教程三

Unit 7 The ChaserTeaching PointsBy the end of this unit, students are supposed to1)grasp the author’s purpose of writing and make clear the structure of the wholepassage through an intensive reading of Text I The chaser.2)comprehend the topic sentences in Text I thoroughly and be able to paraphrasethem.3)get a list of new words and structures and use them freely in conversation andwriting.Topics for discussion1)Do you believe love can be fostered? How can you lure one into love with you?2)What is likely to happen when a couple no longer love each other?Cultural Background1. Proposal of Marriage●The proposal of marriage is an event where one person in a relationship asks for theother's hand in marriage.●If accepted, it marks the initiation of engagement.●It often has a ritual quality, sometimes involving the presentation of an engagement ringand a formalize d asking of a question such as “Will you marry me?”●Often the proposal is a surprise.●In many Western cultures, the tradition has been for the man to propose to the woman.2. Engagement●An engagement is a promise to marry, and also the period of time between proposal andmarriage – which may be lengthy or trivial.●During this period, a couple is said to be affianced, betrothed, engaged to be married, orsimply engaged.●Future brides and grooms are often referred to as fiancée or fiancés respectively (fromthe French word “fiancé”).●The duration of the courtship varies vastly.●Long engagements were once common in formal arranged marriages.●In 2007, the average engagement time in the United States was 17 months, but the figurearound the world varies greatly depending on culture and customs.Text IThe ChaserJohn CollierGlobal ReadingI. Text AnalysisThe short story is a fable of love with a strong sarcastic tone. The protagonist, Alan Austen, wants to find an easy solution to the problem of love by purchasing a love potion. However，it’s not the love potion that the old man intends to sell primarily, but “life cleaner”.The theme of “The Chaser” is the cynicism of experience, portrayed on a field of Alan’s youthful naivety and the old man’s pessimistic certainty.The title of this short story is somehow a pun. “A chaser”can be a person that pursues someone like in “a woman chaser”. In addition, it can refer to a weaker alcoholic drink taken after a strong one. A whisky, like the potion, intoxicates. A beer chaser, like the “life cleaner”, mollifies the harshness of the spirits. The potion and the poison go together like a strong alcoholic drink and a chaser..II. Structural AnalysisThis short story, which combines elements of horror and love, is built almost entirely through dialogue between a young man, Alan Austen, who is deeply in love and wants to possess his lover entirely, and an unnamed old man who believes in a life free of romantic involvement.In “The Chaser” John Collier uses:●the dramatic irony of the title to initialize a cynical landscape;●and the understatement of the ending to enclose the cynical world of the old man, aworld which Alan is entering.Paragraph 1: In this part, the protagonist, Alan Austen, has been introduced.Paragraphs 2-12: The old man is trying to sell his mixture.Paragraphs 13-45: Austen got to know about the love potion and in the end bought it.Detailed ReadingQuestions1. What is the image of Alan Austen in the first part? (Paragraph 1)Alan Austen is depicted as a timid, skeptical and hesitant character. Through descriptions like “as nervous as a kitten,” “peering about for a long time on the dim hallway”, the writer creates a sense of apprehension.2. Why do you think the old man told Austen about the life-cleaner before selling the love potion? (Paragraph 7)The sophisticated old man had encountered many young men who had been in the grip of romantic desire before, but who eventually got tired of the possessive love they had experienced. He knew for sure that Austen’s possessive love wouldn’t last long. It would eventually bore and repel him. He expected that when his enthusiastic passion changed into hatred, Austen would come to him again, because he had already seen those disillusioned customers return to buy the “chaser” so that they could be free from the women for whom they had previously bought the love potion.3. What is the implied meaning of the old man’s remark, “Young people who need a love potion very seldom have five thousand dollars. Otherwise they would not need a love potion” (Paragraph 13)?What the old man means is that a young man who falls in love one-sidedly is seldom rich enough to win a girl’s heart; if he were rich enough, it would be much easier for him to win the girl’s hand. His words imply t hat money is one of the crucial factors for love. If a man is not rich, he can rarely expect to be loved by a girl.4. What is Austen’s understanding of love? (Paragraph s 23-32)Austen was filled with illusions and unrealistic expectations of love. To him, love meant the entire possession of the lover. When the old man talked about the magic effect of the love potion and described the expectant possessive love, Austen cried “That is love!”, which suggests that he was overwhelmed with joy.5. What does the old man’s remark in Paragraph 39 “… one has to be older than you are, to indulge in that sort of thing” mean?Young people tend to be over-passionate for love, sometimes senselessly and irrationally, while the old, just like the old man who sells the mixtures, would take a cool and sensible, sometimes even cynical attitude toward love.Text IIYoung Men and Elderly MenAristotleA Lead-in QuestionConsidering its time-honored history, Chinese culture tends to be compared to an old man in his eighties or even nineties. And it is very intriguing to find out that Chinese people as a whole are tolerant, practical, lack courage to take risks, which just resemble the characters of the elderly proposed by Aristotle in his Youth and Old Age. What do you think of Chinese people’s national character?Main ideaNotes1.About the author and the text: Aristotle (384 BC –322 BC) was a Greekphilosopher, a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great. He wrote on many subjects, including physics, metaphysics, poetry, theater, music, logic, rhetoric, politics, government, ethics, biology and zoology. Together with Plato and Socrates (Plato's teacher), Aristotle is one of the most important founding figures in Western philosophy.He was the first to create a comprehensive system of Western philosophy, encompassing morality and aesthetics, logic and science, politics and metaphysics. The text Youth and Old Age is an excerpt from Aristotle’s Rhetoric (Book II, Chapter 12).2.Pittacus’ remark about Amphiaraus (Paragraph 1): Pittacus (640-568 BC) was theson of Hyrradius and one of the Seven Sages of Greece. He was a native of Mytilene and the Mytilenaean general who, with his army, was victorious in the battle against the Athenians and their commander Phrynon. In consequence of this victory the Mytilenaeans held Pittacus in the greatest honour and presented the supreme power into his hands. After ten years of reign he resigned his position and the city and constitution were brought into good order. Some authors mention that he had a son called Tyrrhaeus.The legend says that his son was killed and when the murderer was brought before Pittacus, he dismissed the man, saying, "Pardon is better than repentance." Of this matter, Heraclitus says that he had got the murderer into his power and then he released him, saying, "Pardon is better than punishment."In Greek mythology, Amphiaraus was the son of Oecles and Hypermnestra, and husband of Eriphyle. Amphiaraus was the King of Argos along with Adrastus —the brother of Amphiaraus' wife, Eriphyle — and Iphis. Amphiaraus was a seer, and greatly honored in his time. Both Zeus and Apollo favored him, and Zeus gave him his oracular talent. In the generation before the Trojan War, Amphiaraos was one of the heroes present at the Calydonian Boar Hunt.3.Chilon’s precept (Paragraph 1): Chilon of Sparta was a Lacedaemonian, son ofDamagetus and one of the Seven Sages of Greece. He was elected an ephor in Sparta in 556/5 BC. It is recorded that he composed verses in elegiac metre to the number of two hundred. Chilon was also the first person who introduced the custom of joining the ephors to the kings as their counselors, though Satyrus attributes this institution to Lycurgus Chilon is said to have helped to overthrow the tyranny at Sicyon, which becamea spartan ally. He is also credited with the change in Spartan policy leading tot thedevelopment of the Peloponnesian League in the sixth century BC. Chilon's teachings flourished around the beginning of the 6th century B.C. A legend says that he died of joy in the arms of his son, who had just gained a prize at the Olympic games. His sayings include “Nothing in Excess”, which is the precept that Aristotle refers to.4.utility (Paragraph 2): Usefulness, or gain as referred to above:“I have a lways doubtedthe utility of these conferences on disarmament” (Winston S. Churchill).Additional Notes1. They are sanguine; nature warms their blood as though with excess of wine(Paragraph 1): They are cheerful and literally red-faced, as if they have drunk too much wine. Literally, sanguine refers to a reddish, often tending to brown, color of chalk used in drawing.2. past their prime (Paragraph 2): past the best of one’s life. The prime, or the prime time,is the age of ideal physical perfection and intellectual vigor.3. hint of Bias (Paragraph 2): Bias is a Greek philosopher, and considered the wisest of all the Seven Sages of Greece. His famous sayings include: “All men are wicked.”“Choose the course which you adopt with deliberation; but when you have adopted it, then persevere in it with firmness." "Cherish wisdom as a means of traveling from youth to old age, for it is more lasting than any other possession.”Questions for Discussion1．How does Aristotle define expectation and memory respectively? How do you interpret expectation and memory?2. How are two types of people, the first type being those driven by reasoning and the other type motivated by moral goodness, normally respond to circumstances?3. What is the possible chief cause behind hesitation and indecision of the elderly?4. What special characteristics are the elderly apt to display in actualities?Key to Questions for Discussion1. Aristotle holds that a young man is a man of expectation, for he has a long future ahead of him, and an elderly man is a man of memory, for he has a long past behind him. So a young man tends to be confident, for a bright and promising future is always inspiring and an elderly is likely to be cautious, for he has gone through many ups and downs in life. A young man is less burdened, for he is not burdened with too many memories, and an elderly man is liable to be more burdened, for he has too many memories to indulge in. A young man is apt to commit errors and run into blunders, for he is not a dear teacher of rich experiences himself and an elderly man is less liable to commit grave mistakes, for he must have learnt so many lessons in life.2. Those who like to reason tend to be deep and sophisticated, so they are normally slow and cautious in their response to circumstances, for they take into careful account what consequences their response may lead to while those who give top priorities to moral goodness tend to be quick in their response to circumstances for anything noble and great can get their positive response promptly and anything lowly and ignoble can cause their negative response in no time.3. The elderly might have experienced many frustrations in life, many of which were beyond their expectation. As a result, they are less sure about life. Therefore, when faced with a choice in life, they tend to show hesitation and indecision.4. The elderly are engaged more in contemplation rather than action, for they prefer to reason than to feel; they are more cynical and distrustful, for they have seen too often the worse side of human nature; they are moderate in life attitude, so they display neither intense love nor intense hate in normal circumstances.Memorable QuotesLove lives on hope, and dies when hope is dead.—Pierre CorneilleThe love we give away is the only love we keep.—Elbert HubbardLove looks not with the eyes, but with the mind;And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.—William ShakespeareAbout Pierre Corneille, Elbert Hubbard and William ShakespearePierre Corneille (1606-1684) has been called “the founder of French tragedy” and he was one of the three great seventeenth-century French dramatists, along with Molière and Racine.Elbert Green Hubbard(1856-1915) was an American writer, publisher, artist, and philosopher.

Text AnalysisThe short story is a fable of love with a strong sarcastic tone. The protagonist, Alan Austen, wants to find an easy solution to the problem of love by purchasing a love potion. However，it’s not the love potion that the old man intends to sell primarily, but “life cleaner”.The theme of “The Chaser” is the cynicism of experience, portrayed on a field of Alan’s y outhful naivety and the old man’s pessimistic certainty.The title of this short story is somehow a pun. “A chaser” can be a person that pursues someone like in “a woman chaser”. In addition, it can refer to a weaker alcoholic drink taken after a strong one. A whisky, like the potion, intoxicates. A beer chaser, like the “life cleaner”, mollifies the harshness of the spirits. The potion and the poison go together like a strong alcoholic drink and a chaser..II. Structural AnalysisThis short story, which combines elements of horror and love, is built almost entirely through dialogue between a young man, Alan Austen, who is deeply in love and wants to possess his lover entirely, and an unnamed old man who believes in a life free of romantic involvement.In “The Chaser” John Collier uses:●the dramatic irony of the title to initialize a cynical landscape;●and the understatement of the ending to enclose the cynical world of the old man, a world whichAlan is entering.Paragraph 1: In this part, the protagonist, Alan Austen, has been introduced.Paragraphs 2-12: The old man is trying to sell his mixture.Paragraphs 13-45: Austen got to know about the love potion and in the end bought it.Detailed ReadingQuestions1. What is the image of Alan Austen in the first part? (Paragraph 1)Alan Austen is depicted as a timi d, skeptical and hesitant character. Through descriptions like “as nervous as a kitten,” “peering about for a long time on the dim hallway”, the writer creates a sense of apprehension.2. Why do you think the old man told Austen about the life-cleaner before selling the love potion? (Paragraph 7)The sophisticated old man had encountered many young men who had been in the grip of romantic desire before, but who eventually got tired of the possessive love they had experienced. He knew for sure that Austen’s possessive love wouldn’t last long. It would eventually bore and repel him. He expected that when his enthusiastic passion changed into hatred, Austen would come to him again, because he had already seen those disillusioned customers return to buy the “chaser” so that they could be free from the women for whom they had previously bought the love potion.3. What is the implied meaning of the old man’s remark, “Young people who need a love potion very seldom have five thousand dollars. Otherwise they would not need a love potion” (Paragraph 13)?

Unit--The-Chaser练习答案综合教程三————————————————————————————————作者：————————————————————————————————日期：Unit 7 The ChaserKey to the ExercisesText comprehensionI. Decide which of the following is likely to happen after the story.CII. Judge, according to the text, whether the following statements are true or false.1. F (Refer to Paragraph 5. The old man says that his stock in trade is not very large, but it is varied and has extraordinary effects.)2. F (Refer to Paragraphs 11 and 13. The price of a glove-cleaner, as he calls it, is very high, five thousand dollars for a teaspoonful, but the love potion is very cheap.)3. F (Refer to Paragraph 19. The old man claims that the effects of love potions are permanent.)4. T (Refer to Paragraphs 24 and 28. Austen says that Diana is fond of parties and, although she is everything to him already, she does not care about his love at all. That is why he decides to go to the old man for the love potion and whenever the old man mentions the magic of his potion, he can't help "crying." From that, we can see the man loves the girl very much.)5. F (The old man sells the love potions almost for nothing because by doing so his customers will come back for a much dearer commodity, the glove-cleaner, to help them out. It is the "death potion" that the old man makes most of his profits from, and intends to sell to his customers.)III. Answer the following questions.1. What the old man means is that a young man who falls in love one-sidedly is seldom rich enough to win a girl's heart. His words imply that money is one of the crucial factors for love. If a man is not rich, he can rarely expect to be loved by a girl.2. Refer to Paragraphs 19 to 37. The love potion has powerful, everlasting effects. To begin with, it may produce sexual desire in the person who takes it. And on the spiritual side, it can replace indifference with devotion and scorn with adoration. It will make a gay girl want nothing but solitude and her lover's company. She will feel jealous of him when her lover is with other girls; she will want to be everything to him. She will be only interested in her lover and take every concern of him. Even if he slips a bit, she will forgive him though terribly hurt. In a word, she will fall in love with him if she drinks the love potion.3. Refer to Paragraphs 39 to 43. It is an irony, by which the author seems to imply that love is far from being precious or desirable. It is easy for a man to fall in love, yet it is hardfor him to stick to it. Should he regret some day, he would have to pay a much higher price to get himself out of it. Anyway, for the old man, and for his customers as he believes, the life-cleaner is more important than the love potion.4. This means there is a wide difference between the young and the old. Young people tend to be over-passionate for love, sometimes senselessly and irrationally, while the old, just like the old man who sells the mixtures, would take a cool and sensible, sometimes even cynical attitude towards love.5. "Au revoir," an urbane and polished reply to the young man's good-bye, meaning "until I see you again," indicates the old man's firm belief that the young man will eventually come back to him for the life-cleaner. This shows his cynical pessimism about love.IV. Explain in your own words the following sentences.1. "Just because I am able to do you a favor/sell you the love potion, I feel safe telling you so much about my other medicines."2. "They, the love potions," said the old man, "will help change the girl's attitude towards you. She will no longer hold you in contempt. Instead, She will begin to give you her deep-felt love and care."Structural analysis of the textThe last line "goodbye, until we meet again" carries an ironic double meaning. It's a conventional way to say goodbye. And with all those clues given in the story, it also suggests that the old man expects the young man will return for the glove-cleaner.Rhetorical features of the text"It would be no good charging that sort of price for a love potion. Young people who need a love potion very seldom have five thousand dollars. Otherwise they would not need a love potion." (Paragraph 13)Vocabulary exercisesI.

Unit-7-The-Chaser课文翻译综合教程三Unit 7The ChaserJohn Henry Collier1 Alan Austen, as nervous as a kitten, went up certain dark and creaky stairs in the neighborhood of Pell Street, and peered about for a long time on the dim hallway before he found the name he wanted written obscurely on one of the doors.2 He pushed open this door, as he had been told to do, and found himself in a tiny room, which contained no furniture but a plain kitchen table, a rocking-chair, and an ordinary chair. On one of the dirty buff-coloured walls were a couple of shelves, containing in all perhaps a dozen bottles and jars.3 An old man sat in the rocking-chair, reading a newspaper. Alan, without a word, handed him the card he had been given. “Sit down, Mr. Austen,” said the old man very politely.“I am glad to make your acquaintance.”4 “Is it true,” asked Alan, “that you have a certain mixture that has … er … quite extraordinary effects?”5 “My dear sir,” replied the old man, “my stock in trade is not very large —I don’t deal in laxative s and teething mixtures — but such as it is, it is varied. I think nothing I sell has effects which could be precisely described as ordinary.”6 “Well, the fact is …” began Al an.7 “Here, for example,” interrupted the old man, reaching for a bottle from the shelf. “Here is a liquid as colourless as water, almost tasteless, quite imperceptible in coffee, wine, or any otherbeverage. It is also quite imperceptible to any known method of autopsy.”8 “Do you mean it is a poison?” cried Alan, very muc h horrified.9 “Call it a glove-cleaner if you like,” said the old man indifferently. “Maybe it will clean gloves. I have never tried. One might call it a life-cleaner. Lives need cleaning sometimes.”10 “I want nothing of that sort,” said Alan.11 “Probably it is just as well,” said the old man. “Do you know the price of this? For one teaspoonful, which is sufficient, I ask five thousand dollars. Never less. Not a penny less.”12 “I hope all your mixtures are not as expensive,” said Alan apprehensively.13 “Oh dear, no,” said the old man. “It would be no good charging that sort of price for a love potion, for example. Young people who need a love potion very seldom have five thousand dollars. Otherwise they would not need a love potion.”14 “I am glad to hear that,” said Alan.15 “I look at it like this,” said the old man. “Please a customer with one article, and he will come back when he needs another. Even if it is more costly. He will save up for it, if necessary.”16 “So,” said Alan, “you really do sell love potions?”17 “If I did not sell love potions,” said the old man, reaching for another bottle, “I should not have mentioned the other matter to you. It is only when one is in a position to oblige that one can afford to be so confidential. “18 “And these potions,” said Alan. “They are not just … just … er …”19 “Oh, no,” said the old man. “Their effects are permanent, and extend far beyond the mere casual impulse. Butthey include it. Oh, yes they include it. Bountifull y, insistently. Everlastingly.”20 “Dear me!” said Alan, attempting a look of scientific detachment. “How very interesting!”21 “But consider the spiritual side,” said the old man.22 “I do, indeed,” said Alan.23 “For indifference,” said the old man, “they substitute devotion. For scorn, adoration. Give one tiny measure of this to the young lady —its flavour is imperceptible in orange juice, soup, or cocktails —and however gay and giddy she is, she will change al together. She will want nothin g but solitude and you.”24 “I can hardly believe it,” said Alan. “She is so fond of parties.”25 “She will not like them anymore,” said the old man. “She will be afraid of the pretty girls you may meet.”26 “She will actually be jealous?” cried Alan in a rapture. “Of me?”27 “Yes, she will want to be everything to you.”28 “She is, already. Only she doesn’t care about it.”29 “She will, when she has taken this. She will care intensely. You will be her sole interest in life.”30 “Wonderful!” cried Alan.31 “She will want to know all you do,” said the old man. “All that has happened to you during the day. Every word of it. She will want to know what you are thinking about, why you smile suddenly, why you are looking sad.”32 “That is love!” cried Alan.33 “Yes,” said the old man. “How carefully she will look after you! She will never allow you to be tired, to sit in a draught, to neglect your food. If you are an hour late, she will be terrified.She will think you are killed, or that some siren has caught you.”34 “I can hardly imagine Diana like that!” cried Alan, overwhelmed with joy.35 “You will not have to use your imagination,” said the old man. “And, by the way, since there are always sirens, if by any chance you should, later on, slip a little, you need not worry. She will forgive you, in the end. She will be terribly hurt, of course, but she will forgive you —in the end.”36 “That will not happen,” said Alan fervently.37 “Of course not,” said the old man. “Bu t, if it d id, you need not worry. She would never divorce you. Oh, no! And, of course, she will never give you the least, the very least, grounds for —uneasiness.”38 “And how much,” said Alan, “is this wonderful mixture?”39 “It is not as dear,” said the old man, “as the glove-cleaner, or life-cleaner, as I sometimes call it. No. That is five thousand dollars, never a penny less. One has to be older than you are, to indulge in that sort of thing. One has to save up for it.”40 “But the love potion?” said Alan.41 “Oh, that,” said the old man, opening the drawer in the kitchen table, and taking out a tiny, rather dirty-looking phial. “That is just a dollar.”42 “I can’t tell you how grateful I am,” said Alan, watching him fill it.43 “I like to oblige,” said the old man. “Then customers come back, later in life, when they are better off, and want more expensive things. Here you are. You will find it very effective.”44 “Thank you again,” said Alan. “Good-bye.”45 “Au revoir,” said the man.解酒水艾伦·奥斯丁，紧张得像只小猫，心里七上八下、忐忑不安的进了裴尔街区的一个楼道，黑乎乎的楼梯咯吱咯吱直响。

Unit 7 The ChaserKey to the ExercisesText comprehensionI. Decide which of the following is likely to happen after the story.CII. Judge, according to the text, whether the following statements are true or false.1. F (Refer to Paragraph 5. The old man says that his stock in trade is not very large, but it is varied and has extraordinary effects.)2. F (Refer to Paragraphs 11 and 13. The price of a glove-cleaner, as he calls it, is very high, five thousand dollars for a teaspoonful, but the love potion is very cheap.)3. F (Refer to Paragraph 19. The old man claims that the effects of love potions are permanent.)4. T (Refer to Paragraphs 24 and 28. Austen says that Diana is fond of parties and, although she is everything to him already, she does not care about his love at all. That is why he decides to go to the old man for the love potion and whenever the old man mentions the magic of his potion, he can't help "crying." From that, we can see the man loves the girl very much.)5. F (The old man sells the love potions almost for nothing because by doing so his customers will come back for a much dearer commodity, the glove-cleaner, to help them out. It is the "death potion" that the old man makes most of his profits from, and intends to sell to his customers.)III. Answer the following questions.1. What the old man means is that a young man who falls in love one-sidedly is seldom rich enough to win a girl's heart. His words imply that money is one of the crucial factors for love. If a man is not rich, he can rarely expect to be loved by a girl.2. Refer to Paragraphs 19 to 37. The love potion has powerful, everlasting effects. To begin with, it may produce sexual desire in the person who takes it. And on the spiritual side, it can replace indifference with devotion and scorn with adoration. It will make a gay girl want nothing but solitude and her lover's company. She will feel jealous of him when her lover is with other girls; she will want to be everything to him. She will be only interested in her lover and take every concern of him. Even if he slips a bit, she will forgive him though terribly hurt. In a word, she will fall in love with him if she drinks the love potion.3. Refer to Paragraphs 39 to 43. It is an irony, by which the author seems to imply that love is far from being precious or desirable. It is easy for a man to fall in love, yet it is hardfor him to stick to it. Should he regret some day, he would have to pay a much higher price to get himself out of it. Anyway, for the old man, and for his customers as he believes, the life-cleaner is more important than the love potion.4. This means there is a wide difference between the young and the old. Young people tend to be over-passionate for love, sometimes senselessly and irrationally, while the old, just like the old man who sells the mixtures, would take a cool and sensible, sometimes even cynical attitude towards love.5. "Au revoir," an urbane and polished reply to the young man's good-bye, meaning "until I see you again," indicates the old man's firm belief that the young man will eventually come back to him for the life-cleaner. This shows his cynical pessimism about love.IV. Explain in your own words the following sentences.1. "Just because I am able to do you a favor/sell you the love potion, I feel safe telling you so much about my other medicines."2. "They, the love potions," said the old man, "will help change the girl's attitude towards you. She will no longer hold you in contempt. Instead, She will begin to give you her deep-felt love and care."Structural analysis of the textThe last line "goodbye, until we meet again" carries an ironic double meaning. It's a conventional way to say goodbye. And with all those clues given in the story, it also suggests that the old man expects the young man will return for the glove-cleaner.Rhetorical features of the text"It would be no good charging that sort of price for a love potion. Young people who need a love potion very seldom have five thousand dollars. Otherwise they would not need a love potion." (Paragraph 13)Vocabulary exercisesI.
