your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWO.

PASSAGE ONE

(1)There was music from my neighbor’s house through the summer nights. In

his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings

and the champagne and the stars. At high tide in the afternoon I watched his

guests diving from the tower of his raft or taking the sun on the hot sand of

his beach while his two motor-boats slit the waters of the Sound, drawing

aquaplanes（滑水板） over cataracts of foam. On weekends Mr. Gatsby’s Rolls-

Royce became an omnibus, bearing parties to and from the city between nine in

the morning and long past midnight, while his station wagon scampered like a

brisk yellow bug to meet all trains. And on Mondays eight servants, including

an extra gardener, toiled all day with scrubbing-brushes and hammer and garden-

shears, repairing the ravages of the night before.

(2)Every Friday five crates of oranges and lemons arrived from a fruiterer

in New York – every Monday these same oranges and lemons left his back door in

a pyramid of pulpless halves. There was a machine in the kitchen which could

extract the juice of two hundred oranges in half an hour, if a little button

was pressed two hundred times by a butler’s thumb.

(3)At least once a fortnight a corps of caterers came down with several

hundred feet of canvas and enough colored lights to make a Christmas tree of

Gatsby’s enormous garden. On buffet tables, garnished with glistening hors-

d’oeuvre （冷盘） , spiced baked hams crowded against salads of harlequin

designs and pastry pigs and turkeys bewitched to a dark gold. In the main hall

a bar with a real brass rail was set up, and stocked with gins and liquors and

with cordials （加香甜酒） so long forgotten that most of his female guests

were too young to know one from another.

(4)By seven o’clock the orchestra has arrived – no thin five-piece affair

but a whole pitful of oboes and trombones and saxophones and viols and cornets

and piccolos and low and high drums. The last swimmers have come in from the

beach now and are dressing upstairs; the cars from New York are parked five

deep in the drive, and already the halls and salons and verandas are gaudy with

primary colors and hair shorn in strange new ways, and shawls beyond the dreams

of Castile. The bar is in full swing, and floating rounds of cocktails permeate

the garden outside until the air is alive with chatter and laughter and casual

innuendo and introductions forgotten on the spot and enthusiastic meetings

between women who never knew each other’s names.

(5)The lights grow brighter as the earth lurches away from the sun and now

the orchestra is playing yellow cocktail music and the opera of voices pitches

a key higher. Laughter is easier, minute by minute, spilled with prodigality,

tipped out at a cheerful word.

(6)The groups change more swiftly, swell with new arrivals, dissolve and

form in the same breath – already there are wanderers, confident girls who

weave here and there among the stouter and more stable, become for a sharp,

joyous moment the center of a group and then excited with triumph glide on

through the sea-change of faces and voices and color under the constantly

changing light.

(7)Suddenly one of these gypsies in trembling opal, seizes a cocktail out

of the air, dumps it down for courage and moving her hands like Frisco dances

out alone on the canvas platform. A momentary hush; the orchestra leader varies
