Paraphrase

1.1 For twenty minutes,the terminal area was aswarm with activity as cars and lorries poured forth,customs people did their duties,and everyone made for the London road.

P:The ferry port was busy with activities for twenty minutes.A lot of cars and lorries went in continuous stream out of the port,customs officers were busy doing their duties,and everybody was moving towards the London road.

1.2 I was socially and sartorially ill-suited for such an establishment and anyway it was clearly beyond my meager budget.

P:The Churchill is such a luxurious hotel that it is only suitable for those rich people who are socially respectable and well dressed.For me,a poor man not well dressed,it is definitely not suitable.Besides I did not have much money to spend and could not afford it any way.

1.3 Further along Marine Parade stood a shelter,open to the elements but roofed,and I decided that this was as good as I was going to get.

P:In the distance on the Marine Parade I found a structure with a roof although it was exposed to natural forces.I decided that it could serve my purpose and would be as good as a room in a

guesthouse.

1.4 The bench was slatted and hard and studded with big roundheaded bolts that made reclining in comfort an impossibility-doubtless their intention.

P:The bench was made of thin pieces of wood and thus very hard to sleep on.Besides it was decorated with big roundheaded bolts.Therefore it was impossible to lie on it in a comfortable way.There is no doubt that the bench was designed in this way on purpose.

1.5 Afterwards,feeling a new man,I emerged with a toothpick and

a

burp,and

sauntered

happily

through

the

streets,watching Dover come to life.It must be said that Dover was not vastly improved by daylight,but I likes it.

P:After the breakfast I felt like a new man and walked out of the cafe with a toothpick in my mouth and burped.I wandered on the street leisurely and happily,seeing Dover become more lively.I had to admit that Dover did not become a more attractive town during the daytime but anyway I liked it.

2.1 Never mind the popular palaver about marriage as a source of bliss for the couple,security for the kids and societal stability.

P:You don’t need to worry about what others say about

marriage,for example,a large number of people say that married people can be very happy,their children can be protected and society can be stable if more people get married.But this is just nonsense if the practical aspect of marriage is not taken into account.

2.2 Marriage is criticized as a source of stress(and it is),conflict(that to)and endless crises that need to be resolved(guilty there as well). P:There

are

also

negative

opinions

on

marriage,for

example,marriage can cause stress,conflict and crises.All these criticisms are correct and you have to solve these marriage-related problems.

2.3 Depression and other emotional ills are less likely to go undiagnosed if there’s someone at home who’s mindful of your moods and notices if they darken.

P:After getting married,your spouse will be careful of your feelings and sensitive to the changes in your emotions.If you have any symptom of depression or other emotional ills,your spouse will notice it immediately.

2.4 The daily stresses of the modern world can throw our bodies into emergency mode and keep us there.That takes a toll through high blood pressure,tension headaches and a lot

of gnawed pencils.

P:In our daily work today,we have to cope with stress frequently and our bodies are often put into situations which need immediate action to deal with difficult and dangerous events.That has a bad effect on our bodies and may cause a lot of damage to our health,such as high blood pressure,tension headaches and other sufferings which make you feel worried and uncomfortable. 2.5 While married men get relief from their workday barrage of stress hormones when they come home after a particularly busy day at work,working women are able to de-stress similarly only if they describe their marriage as a happy one. P:

2.6 Those tales of spouses who die within days of each other have more than a little truth to them. P:

2.7 Certainly not all suddenly single spouses are fated to languish this way—no more than all people who never pair off are destined for a shortened life filled with illness and stress. P:

2.8 Still,it’s hard to argue with an institution that keeps a companion and caretaker constantly nearby,even if now and again—when a wet towel has once again been dropped on the

floor or a tube of toothpaste has been squeezed all wrong—we may lose light of that happy fact. P:

4.1 But to their surprise,many people find that enduring such a harrowing ordeal ultimately changes them for the better. P：People feel surprised that they finally have become better persons after undergoing such severely distressful experience. 4.2 We love to hear the stories of people who have been transformed by their tribulations,perhaps because they testify to a bona fide psychological truth,one that sometimes gets lost amid endless reports of disaster:There is a built-in human capacity to flourish under the most difficult circumstances. P:We like to hear stories of how serious trouble might competely change people,because these stories really prove a psychological truth that is often neglected by people when facing a disaster,i,e.human beings have an inborn quality that can be fully displayed only in the most difficult situation.

4.3 She never anticipated what would happen:a withdrawal reaction that eventually left her in total body agony and neurological meltdown.

P:She never expected that stopping medication could finally lead to severe physical pains and neurological problems.

4.4 But this time,she was way past her limits,and nothing her doctors did seemed to help.

P:But this time it was more than she could bear,and all that the doctors did ended in vain.

4.5 She was still in agony,but a new consciousness grew stronger each night:an awesome sense of liberation,combined with an all-encompassing feeling of sympathy and compassion.”I felt stripped of everything I’d ever identified myself with,”she said six mothers later.

P:She was still suffering from the severe pain,but she began to have a new feeling about life which was becoming increasingly stronger each day:an amazing feeling of freedom from pain,together with tolerance and sympathy.”I felt that everything I used to define muself is deprived now.”She said six mouths later. 4.6 In that moment,our sense of invulnerability is pierced,and the self-protective mental armor that normally stands between us and our perceptions of the world is torn away.

P:At that moment,we realize we are weak and vulnerable,and the spiritual power that we possess as a means of self-protection when we are looking at this world is taken away.

4.7 They cycle through the same sequence of sensations as do trauma survivors:self-loss,confusion and,finally,a new

sense of mastery.

P:They go through the same course of feeling like those who have experience the emotional shock:feeling at a loss,and finally,gaining the new power.

5.1 They have to be heroic violations of the norms and practices that now govern moviemaking everywhere in the world.

P:In order to maintain the high artistic level,good films must openly go against the Hollywood system that dominates the production and distribution of films around the world.

5.2 Cinema,once heralded as the art of the twentieth century,seems now,as the century closes,to be a decadent art. P:The appearance of films at the beginning of the twentieth century was once regarded as a promising new art,however,at the end of century,films seem to fall to a lower and worse level.

5.3 To be kidnapped,you have to be in a movie theater,seated in the dark among anonymous strangers.

P:For a person to become overwhelmed by the power of films,he or she has to be physically present in a movie theater,surrounded by unknown people.

5.4 With the coming of sound,the image-making lost much of its brilliance and poetry,and commercial standards tightened.

P:After the apperance of sound,the artistic level and poetic beauty of films declined.Meanwhile the Hollywood system that governs filmmaking industry became more strict.

5.5 Now the balance has tipped decisively in favor of cinema as an industry.

P:In the century-long conflict between cinema as an art and cinema as an industry,the current development of filmmaking has unquestionably favored the latter.

5.6 The catastrophic rise in production costs in the 1980s secured the worldwide reimposition of industry standards of making and distributing films on a far more coercive and global scale.

P:The disadtrous rise in production costs helped to spread and reinforce the commercial standards of moviemaking around the world.

5.7 If cinema can be resurrected,it will only be through the birth of a new kind of cine-love.

P:The only way to revive the golden age of cinema is by cultivating a new kind of love of cinema among the audience.
