Question

　　Star talks of better half

　　The British film star Hugh Grant can’t seem to work out what women want.

　　“There’s no girl who only wants bastards（壞種），and no girl who wants a nice guy（伙計）．Women want both, ”the British star tells the May issue of Talk magazine.

　　“And, really, they’d like to alternate（交替）on a weekly basis. Can any man be both? I like to keep women guessing. ”

　　Since Grant’s breakup last year with his longtime girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley, the thought of plunging into（投身于）another big relationship doesn’t seem like it’s in the cards.

　　“How easy do you think it is to find someone you can share   14   years of personal jokes with? Not easy. And I don’t know that I will,” he says.

　　Still, the 40-year-old star admits he can’t help thinking that his clock is ticking.

　　“In the end, I want to have kids（children）. But in the back of my mind, I never wanted to have kids until I’d done something I’m proud of—written a book, had my name on something really worthwhile , ”he says.

　　“I’m so determined not to be in front of the cameras anymore.”

　　With all of these concerns（心思）inside, has Grant ever considered seeing a psychiatrist to sort things out?

　　“I don’t think I need therapy（治療），thank you, ” sniffs the star.

　　“I’m frightened of those people. And more than that, I don’t want to know what lies beneath. ”

Answer 1

答案：1A2B3D4A
解析：

1．A 原文中“I like to keep women guessing”表明他并沒有給自己定位。 　　2．B 原文中“How easy do you think it is to find someone you can share 14 years of personal jokes with? Not easy．And I don’t know that I will，”說明他不認為可以輕易找到一個可以像赫麗那樣的一起分享了14年私人心情的女朋友。選項B符合。 　　3．D 從劃線詞后面的In the end可以判斷他考慮的是以后的事情，所以這里選擇D他在變老。 　　4．A 原文“I never wanted to have kids until I’d done something I’m proud of”說明他認為自己還沒有資格作個父親。
