2、t it is varied and has extraordinary effects.)2. F (Refer to Paragraphs 11 and 13.

3、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 iswhy he decides to go to the old man for the love potion and whenever the old man mentions the magic of his poti

4、on, 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 themout. It is the "death potion

5、" 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 cruc

6、ial factors for love. If a man is not rich, he can rarely expect to be loved by a girl.2.Referto Paragraphs 19 to37. Thelovepotion has powerful,everlastingeffects.Tobegin with, it may produce sexual desire in the person who takes it. And on the spiritualside, it can replace indifference with devotio

8、orgive him though terribly hurt. In a word, she will fall in love with him if she drinks thelove 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 t

9、o 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.

10、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&

11、#39;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 aboutlove.IV.Explain in your own words the following sentences.1. "Just because I am able

12、 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 yo

13、uher 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

14、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
