小题9:C名词辨析。A.男人;B. 孩子;C. 女人;D. 男孩。从下文After we married,可知此时作者和一位女士在交往,所以C选项正确。
小题10:A介词辨析。A. ….的;B.为了;C. 和…一起;D. 在…里面。固定短语be reminded of“使某人想起”句意:在我们结婚后,我又想起了那些在冰箱下的豌豆。
小题11:B名词辨析。A. 妻子;B. 生活;C. 儿子; D. 朋友。根据作者的讲述可知作者把自己混乱的生活比喻成了散落在地上的豌豆,而且下文中多次出现的life也印证了这一点,所以B为正确选项。
小题12:C动词短语辨析。 A.转向;B. 导致;C. 适应;D.增添。从上文I was in a new city可知作者搬到了一个新城市,由此可知孩子也要去适应新生活,所以答案选C。

小题15:B短语辨析。A.得到; B. 做到;C. 拿到;D.留下。由情理可知当人处于人生低谷时,会失去信心,认为一切都不能恢复正常,所以选B,make it 指“成功做成某事”。

F. Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24, 1896, an American novelist, was once a student of St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.
His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary: “My own happiness in the past often approached such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”
This side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel the Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Thales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success was The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quickly brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.
However, Fitzgerald’s problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The love of the last Tycoon in 1940.

They were going to Fort Lauderdale-- three boys and three girls -- and when they boarded the bus, they were carrying sandwiches and wine, dreaming of golden beaches and sea tides as the gray, cold spring of New York vanished behind them.
As the bus passed through New Jersey, they began to notice Vingo. He sat in front of them, dressed in a plain ill-fitting suit, never moving, his dusty face masking his age. He kept chewing the inside of his lip a lot, frozen into complete silence.
Deep into the night, the bus pulled into Howard Johnson"s, and everybody got off except Vingo. He sat rooted in his seat, and the young people began to wonder about him: perhaps he was a sea captain, a runaway from his wife, an old soldier going home. When they went back to the bus, one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself.
¨We"re going to Florida," she said brightly. “I hear it"s really beautiful. "
"It is," he said quietly, as if remembering something he had tried to forget.
“Want some wine?" she said. He thanked her and retreated again into his silence. After a while, she went back to the others, and Vingo nodded in sleep.
In the morning, they awoke outside another Howard Johnson"s, and this time Vingo went in. The girl insisted that he join them. He seemed very shy, and ordered black coffee and smoked nervously as the young people chattered about sleeping on beaches. When they returned to the bus, the girl sat with Vingo again, and after a while, slowly and painfully, he began to tell his story. He had been in jail in New York for the past four years, and now he was going home.
¨Are you married?"
“I don"t know. "
“You don’t know?" she said.
“Well, when I was in jail I wrote to my wife," he said. ¨‘I told her that I was going to be away a long time, and that if she couldn"t stand it, if the kids kept asking questions, she could just forget me. I"d understand. Get a new guy, I said - she"s a wonderful woman – and forget about me. I told her she didn"t have to write me. And she didn"t. Not for three and a half years. "
"And you"re going home now, not knowing?"
" Yeah," he said shyly. ‘‘Last week, when I was sure the parole was coming through, I wrote her again. There"s a big oak tree just as you come into town, I told her that if she didn"t have a new guy and if she"d take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and I"d get off and come home. If she didn"t want me, forget it - no handkerchief, and I"d go on through. "
"Wow," the girl exclaimed. "Wow. "
She told the others, and soon all of them were in it, caught up in the approach of Brunswick, looking at the pictures Vingo showed them of his wife and three children.
Now they were 20 miles from Brunswick, and the young people took over window seats, waiting for the approach of the great oak tree. Vingo stopped looking, tightening his face, as if fortifying himself against still another disappointment.
Then Brunswick was 10 miles, and then five. Then, suddenly, all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming and shouting and crying. All except Vingo. Vingo sat there stunned, looking at the oak tree. It was covered with yellow handkerchiefs —20 of them, 30 of them, maybe hundreds. As the young people shouted, the old con slowly rose from his seat and made his way to the front of the bus to go home.
