On one of her trips to New York several years ago, Eudora Welty decided to take
a couple of New York friends out to dinner. They settled in at a comfortable East Side
cafe and within minutes, another customer was approaching their table.
“Hey, aren’t you from Mississippi?” the elegant, white-haired writer remembered
being asked by the stranger. “I’m from Mississippi too.”
Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner
partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair.
“They began telling me all the news of Mississippi,” Welty said. “I didn’t know
what my New York friends were thinking.”
Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the time the group got
up to leave, it was pouring outside. Welty’s new friends immediately sent a waiter to
find a cab. Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were
amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a
Mississippi state reunion (团聚).
“My friends said: ‘Now we believe your stories,’” Welty added. “And I said:
‘Now you know. These are the people that make me write them.’”
Sitting on a sofa in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked
pleased with this explanation.
“I don’t make them up,” she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or
so years. “I don’t have to.”
Beauticians, bartenders, piano players and people with purple hats, Welty’s
people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the
streets of her native Jackson, Miss., from conversations overheard on a bus. It annoys
Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now given out. Sometimes, sitting on a bus or a train,
she hears only a fragment (片段) of a particularly interesting story.
25. What happened when Welty was with her friends at the cafe?
A. Two strangers joined her. B. Her childhood friends came in.
C. A heavy rain ruined the dinner. D. Some people held a party there.
26. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 6 refers to Welty’s .
A. readers B. parties C. friends D. stories
27. What can we learn about the characters in Welty’s fiction?
A. They live in big cities. B. They are mostly women.
C. They come from real life. D. They are pleasure seekers.
C
If you are a fruit grower — or would like to become one — take advantage of
Apple Day to see what’s around. It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like
Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now
spread out over most of October around Britain.
Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of
apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden
Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the
range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the
Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try, as is the
knobbly (多疙瘩的) Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.
There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the
very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm,
sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers
who fall for it.
At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit
