11、Bracknell, I prefer standing. Lady Bracknell (pencil and notebook in hand) : I feel bound to tell you that you are not downon my list of eligible young men, although I have the same list as the dear Duchess of Bolton has. We work together, in fact. However, I am quite ready to enter your name should

12、 your manners be what a really affectionate mother requires. Do you smokev Jack Worthing: Well, yes. I must admit I smoke. Lady Bracknell: I am glad to hear it. A man should always have an occupation of some kind. There are far too many idle men in London as it is. How old are you? Jack worthing: Tw

14、it. I do not approve of anything that tampers withnatural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom isgone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would

16、acknell: That is satisfactory. What between the duties expected of one during oneslifetime, and the duties exacted from one after ones death, land has ceased to be either a profit or a pleasure. It gives one position, and prevents one from keeping it up. That s all that can be said about land. Jack

17、Worthing: I have a country house with some land, of course attached to it, about fifteen hundred acres, I believe; but I dont depend on that for my real income. In fact, as far as I can make out, the poachers are the only people who make anything out of it. Lady Bracknell: A country housel How many

18、bedrooms? Well, that point can be cleared up afterwards. You have a town house, I hope? A girl with a simple, unspoiled nature, like Gwendolen, could hardly be expected to reside in the country.

Text 4 Read the extract and g:ive brief answers to the questions 26-29 that follow. Please note: This reading task will be relevant to the writing task in Part III. Paper Pills He was

35、 an old man with a white beard and huge nose and hands. Long before the time during which we will know him, he was a doctor and drove a jaded white horse from house to house through the streets of Winesburg. Later he married a girl who had money. She had been left a large fertile farm when her fathe

36、r died. The girl was quiet, tall, and dark, and to many people she seemed very beautiful. Everyone in Winesburg wondered why she married the doctor. Within a year after the marriage she died. The knuckles of the doctor s hands were extraordinarily large. When the hands were closed they looked like c

37、lusters of unpainted wooden balls as large as walnuts fastened together by steel rods. He smoked a cob pipe and after his wifes death sat all day in his empty office close by a window that was covered with cobwebs. He never opened the window. Once on a hot day in August he tried but found it stuck f

38、ast and after that he forgot all about it. Winesburg had forgotten the old manj but in Doctor Reefy there were the seeds ofsomething very fine. Alone in his musty office in the Heffner Block above the Paris Dry Goods Company s store, he worked ceaselessly, building up something that he himselfdestro

39、yed. Little pyramids of truth he erected and after erecting knocked them down againthat he might have the truths to erect other pyramids. Doctor Reefy was a tall man who had worn one suit of clothes for ten years. It wasfrayed at the sleeves and little holes had appeared at the knees and elbows. In

40、the office hewore also a linen duster with huge pockets into which he continually stuffed scraps of paper.After some weeks the scraps of paper became little hard round balls, and when the pocketswere filled he dumped them out upon the floor. For ten years he had but one friend, anotherold man named

41、John Spaniard who owned a tree nursery. Sometimes, in a playful mood, oldDoctor Reefy took from his pockets a handful of the paper balls and threw them at thenursery man. That is to confound you. you blithering old sentimentalist, he cried,shaking with laughter. The story of Doctor Reefy and his cou

42、rtship of the tall dark girl who became his wifeand left her money to him is a very curious story. It is delicious, like the twisted little applesthat grow in the orchards of Winesburg. In the fall one walks in the orchards and the groundis hard with frost underfoot. The apples have been taken from

43、the trees by the pickers. Theyhave been put in barrels and shipped to the cities where they will be eaten in apartments that are filled with books, magazines, furniture, and people. On the trees are only a few gnarledapples that the pickers have rejected. They look like the knuckles of Doctor Reefys

44、 hands.One nibbles at them and they are delicious. Into a little round place at the side of the apple has been gathered all of its sweetness. One runs from tree to tree over the frosted ground picking the gnarled, twisted apples and filling his pockets with them. Only the few know the sweetness of t

45、he twisted apples. The girl and Doctor Reefy began their courtship on a summer afternoon. He was forty- five then and already he had begun the practice of filling his pockets with the scraps of paper that became hard balls and were thrown away. The habit had been formed as he sat in his buggy behind

46、 the jaded white horse and went slowly along country roads. On the papers were written thoughts, ends of thoughts, beginnings of thoughts. One by one the mind of Doctor Reefy had made the thoughts. Out of many of them he formed a truth that arose gigantic in his mind. The truth clouded the world. It

47、 became terrible and then faded away and the little thoughts began again. The tall dark girl came to see Doctor Reefy because she was in the family way and had become frightened. She was in that condition because of a series of circumstances also curious. The death of her father and mother and the r

48、ich acres of land that had come down to her had set a train of suitors on her heels. For two years she saw suitors almost every evening. Except two they were all alike. They talked to her of passion and there was a strained eager quality in their voices and in their eyes when they looked at her. The

49、 two who were different were much unlike each other. One of them, a slender young man with white hands, the sonof a jeweler in Winesburg, talked continually of virginity. When he was with her he was never off the subject. The other, a black-haired boy with large ears, said nothing at all but always

50、managed to get her into the darkness, where he began to kiss her. For a time the tall dark girl thought she would marry the jewelers son. For hours she sat in silence listening as he talked to her and then she began to be afraid of something. Beneath his talk of virginity she began to think there wa

51、s a lust greater than in all the others. At times it seemed to her that as he talked he was holding her body in his hands. She imagined him turning it slowly about in the white hands and staring at it. At night she dreamed that he had bitten into her body and that his jaws were dripping. She had the

52、 dream three times, then she became in the family way to the one who said nothing at all but who in the moment of his passion actually did bite her shoulder so that for days the marks of his teeth showed. After the tall dark girl came to know Doctor Reefy it seemed to her that she never wanted to le

53、ave him again. She went into his office one morning and without her saying anything he seemed to know what had happened to her. In the office of the doctor there was a woman the wife of the man who kept the bookstore in Winesburg. Like all old-fashioned country practitioners, Doctor Reefy pulled tee

54、th, and the woman who waited held a handkerchief to her teeth and groaned. Her husband was with her and when the tooth was taken out they both screamed and blood ran down on the womans white dress. The tall dark girl did not pay any attention. When the woman and the man had gone the doctor smiled. I

55、 will take you driving into the country with me, he said. For several weeks the tall dark girl and the doctor were together almost every day. The condition that had brought her to him passed in an illness, but she was like one who has discovered the sweetness of the twisted apples, she could not get

56、 her mind fixed again upon the round perfect fruit that is eaten in the city apartments. In the fall after the beginning of her acquaintanceship with him she married Doctor Reefy and in the following spring she died. During the winter he read to her all of the odds and ends of thoughts he had scribb

57、led on the bits of paper. After he had read them he laughed and stuffed them away in his pockets to become round hard balls. Questions 26-29 (20 points) 26.
