高三英语复习阅读第一期（个人情感与人际关系）1 【导读】人间有爱，但一位男子却用另外一种特殊的方式爱着她的妻子。 A Lomita man who built a massive collection of dresses over 56 years is putting the 55,000 frocks up for sale. Paul Brockmann began collecting dresses after he first laid eyes on his wife, Margot, dancing in a ballroom in Germany. Brockmann said he knew then he never wanted her to wear the same dress twice. “I spent every dime that I had, that I could buy a dress with, I did,” said Brockmann.” Still, the dresses are Paul’s passion. According to his wife, there are a lot of dresses in the collection that she has never worn. The collection is just like if you’re a stamp collector or a car collector,” Brockmann said. The collection was kept secret for years, out of Mr. Brockmann’s concern that it would raise questions. “If anybody would find out that I was collecting the dresses, they’d maybe think ‘what kind guy is this?’” said Brockmann. It wasn’t until his daughter found the dresses in his garage that he told her about the collection he had built. Now the couple is selling the dresses for a bargain, with the hopes of using the money from the sale towards fulfilling a lifelong dream of dancing together at the New Year’s Eve Ball in Vienna. 【文章大意】保罗·布罗克曼第一次遇见他的妻子是在学校的舞会上，从那时起，他便爱上了妻子穿裙子的样子，结婚后的56年间，作为收藏，他一共为妻子购买了5万5千条裙子。 【篇章结构】 段落 关键词 大意猜测 P1 a massive collection of dresses 56年收藏55,000裙子 P2--5 never wanted her to wear the same dress twice； was kept secret for years 为什么收藏？怎样收藏？ P6-8 using the money from the sale；fulfilling a lifelong dream 拍卖收藏，实现愿望 【信息提取】 What is the best title for the passage? a secret kept for many years a man’s lifelong dream a confront of a couple a collection of dresses for love When did the man start collecting dresses?
