Mr. Chiu and his bride were having lunch in the square before Muju Train Station. On the
table between them were two bottles of soda spewing out brown foam and two paper boxes
of rice and sautéed cucumber and pork . . .
The rice and the cucumber tasted good, and Mr. Chiu was eating unhurriedly. His sallow
face showed exhaustion. He was glad that the honeymoon was finally over and that he and
his bride were heading back for Harbin. During the two weeks' vacation, he had been
worried about his liver, because three months ago he had suffered from acute hepatitis; he
was afraid he might have a relapse. But he had had no severe symptoms, despite his liver
being still big and tender. On the whole he was pleased with his health, which could endure
even the strain of a honeymoon; indeed, he was on the course of recovery.
After reading these paragraphs, the reader can most likely conclude that Mr. Chiu
is frequently distracted by concerns for his own health.
is overwhelmed with happiness and love for his new bride.
is disappointed that he must soon return to his scholarly work.
normally takes an optimistic view of his own life and situation.
