  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(坏种),and no girl who wants a nice guy(伙计).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 kidschildren. 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(治疗),thank you, ” sniffs the star.

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

  1Judging from what Hugh Grant says, the film star may consider himself________.

  Aeither a bastard or a nice guy

  Bboth a bastard and a nice guy at the same time

  Ca bastard in one week and a nice guy in the other

  Dneither a bastard nor a nice guy

  2Hugh Grant________.

  Ais looking for another girlfriend at the present time

  Bnever feels sure of finding a girlfriend who can take the place of Elizabeth Hurley

  Chis life is going to end soon

  Dhe is getting old

  4Hugh Grant thinks that he is not yet successful enough to be________.

  Aa father

  Ba film star

  Ca husband

  Da nice guy

 

答案:A;B;D;A
解析:

1.A 原文中“I like to keep women guessing”表明他并没有给自己定位。

  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,”说明他不认为可以轻易找到一个可以像赫丽那样的一起分享了14年私人心情的女朋友。选项B符合。

  3.D 从划线词后面的In the end可以判断他考虑的是以后的事情,所以这里选择D他在变老。

  4.A 原文“I never wanted to have kids until I’d done something I’m proud of”说明他认为自己还没有资格作个父亲。
