“The resources of New York are rather meagre,” he said; ” but I’ll find a hansom first, and then we’ll invent something.” He led her through the throng of returning holiday-makers, past sallow-faced girls in preposterous hats, and flat-chested women struggling with paper bundles and palm-leaf fans. Was it possible that she belonged to the same race? The dinginess, the crudity of this average section of womanhood made him feel how highly specialized she was.
A rapid shower had cooled the air, and clouds still hung refreshingly over the moist street.
“How delicious! Let us walk a little,” she said as they emerged from the station.
They turned into Madison Avenue and began to stroll northward. As she moved beside him, with her long light step, Selden was conscious of taking a luxurious pleasure in her nearness: in the modelling of her little ear, the crisp upward wave of her hair-was it ever so slightly brightened by art?-and the thick planting of her straight black lashes. Everything about her was at once vigorous and exquisite, at once strong and fine. He had a confused sense that she must have cost a great deal to make, that a great many dull and ugly people must, in some mysterious way, have been sacrificed to produce her. He was aware that the qualities distinguishing her from the hear of her sex were chiefly external; as though a fine glaze of beauty and fastidiousness had been applied to vulgar clay. Yet the analogy left him unsatisfied, for a coarse texture will not take a high finish; and was it not possible that the material was fine, but that circumstance had fashioned it into a futile shape?
As he reached this point in his speculations the sun came out, and her lifted parasol cut off his enjoyment. A moment or two later she paused with a sigh.
“Oh, dear, I’m so hot and thirsty-and what a hideous place New York is!” She looked despairingly up and down the dreary thoroughfare. “other cities put on their best clothes in summer, but New York seems to sit in its shirtsleeves.” Her eye wandered down one of the side-streets. “someone had had the humanity to plant a few trees over there. Let us go into the shade.”
“I am glad my street meets with your approval,” said Selden as they turned the corner.
“Your Street? Do you live here?”
赶早每日读说明：
提高阅读能力，像健身一样，需要每天的坚持。当SAT/ACT不断改革而增加文章、题目多样性，而你的阅读能力无法支持老师教授的做题方法时，该是每日坚持阅读的时候了。
这说来简单的事情，实际操作中却遇到很多问题。
首先，如果自己随意选择刊物、书籍阅读，会有自己的倾向性。喜欢读的类型总去阅读，不喜欢的避开不阅读，导致面对真实考试的多样化文体时仍手足无措。
其次，对于一个孩子，同时订阅7,8种外国期刊不现实，何况期刊中还有很多广告，而真正适合阅读的文字却并不是很多，造成资源上的浪费。
如果可以有方便的途径让孩子能坚持每日多样化阅读就好了。
作为提供真正的一站式申请服务的赶早咨询，从2018年4月12日开始，正式推出赶早每日读。内容涵盖但不限于以下刊物节选：The New Yorker; Scientific American; WallStreet Journal; National Geographic; Reader’s digest; The Economist; 美国建国历史文献；经典文学著作；近期各类书榜热门图书
