Everything he saw was distasteful to
him. He hated the blue and white, the hum and heat of the south; the landscape
seemed to him as hard and as romantic as a cardboard background on the stage,
and the mountain but a wooden screen against a sheet painted blue. Two roads led out ofthe town; one branched off towards the Ambroses’ villa, the other struck into the country, eventually reaching a village on the plain, but many footpaths led off from it, across great dry fields, to scattered farm-houses. Hewet stepped off the road on to one of these, in order to avoid the hardness and heat of the main road, the dust of which was always being raised in small clouds by carts and ramshackle flies which carried parties of festive peasants, or turkeys swelling unevenly like a bundle of air balls beneath a net. A. passionate B. idealistic C. quixotic D. unrealistic [单项选择]
