I - Reading Comprehension
A shy young girl of 21 was working for an American woman in Monte Carlo when she met
Maxim de Winter, a rich and handsome English man. People said that Maxim couldnt get over
the death of his beautiful wife, Rebecca, who drowned in a boating accident. But Maxim asked
the young girl to marry him. After a honeymoon in Italy, Maxim took his new wife back to his
beautiful home, Manderley, on the southwest coast of England.
But when she arrived there, the second Mrs. Winter didnt feel at all confident in her new role.
She found herself in charge of a huge house with lots of servants, including the unfriendly
housekeeper. She soon realized that Mrs. Danvers adored Rebecca. In fact, Rebecca seemed
to haunt the house, and the second Mrs. de Winter felt Rebeccas presence everywhere. But
Maxim never talked about her.
One afternoon, Maxim and his wife went for a walk on the beach with the dog. When she
followed the dog to an empty cottage, Maxim called her back. He was annoyed and explained
impatiently that the cottage held bad memories. Later she discovered that Rebecca often
stayed there.
