Valentine’s Day is approaching. Time to make a checklist:
Did you send a card? Did you make dinner reservations? If not, do you have a recipe picked out for a romantic home-cooked meal, and do you have a take-out backup in case you ruin it? Do you have your clothes picked out? Are they clean? O. K. , are they clean enough? What about candy and flowers? How about a gift? Do you have perfume or cologne ready? Did you try it out on somebody else first? Did they cough or cringe?
This is wonderful, but it can all go down the drain if you failed to arrange for the one essential Valentine’s Day element that can make or break your evening: music. Without something in the background to put your sweetheart in the mood, you might as well consign yourself to a life of misery and loneliness, if you haven’t already.
For those who are amorously challenged and can’t seem to locate songs with the words "love" in them, here are 2 suggestions to get you reeling with the feeling. This does not guarantee a perfect Valentine’s Day, but it will prevent a disastrous one. For many of you, that’s close enough:
"Your Song" by Elton John
This was one of the first songs that Elton and longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin wrote together. It appeared on Elton’s second album, but it wasn’t released as a single until months later. Legend has it that they wrote the song while living at Elton’s parents house, and the original lyrics have stains on them——probably coffee, but could be ketchup. Either way, "Your Song" is one of those irresistibly heartfelt classics that is perfect for putting on the car stereo en route to that obscenely expensive dinner at the swanky but overcrowded eatery.
"If I Fell" by the Beatles
"If I trust in you, oh please, don’t run and hide; if I love you, too, oh please, don’t hurt my pride." Beautiful harmonies, all right, but you get the feeling Paul and John are a little reluctant to take the plunge after being burned in the past. This is a common theme in love songs, which is why this ballad——performed in the movie "A Hard Day’s Night" is perfect for that couple that is tiptoeing around the idea of commitment. Ideal for the ride home after a first Valentine’s dinner together, on the way to her place.
Why does the author suggest that you try your perfume or cologne out on somebody else first?
选项
A、It may make your date uncomfortable.
B、It may make you feel sick.
C、It may have been out-of-date.
D、It may ruin your dinner.
答案
A
解析
推理题。文章第二段末尾提到Did they cough or cringe?(他们咳嗽或者畏缩了吗?),说明有些香水必须事先试一试更好,有时它使别人感觉不舒服。所以A是正确答案。
