7.     What changes Nick’s mind about the veracity of Gatsby’s stories?

太多漏洞的故事，让 Nick 不再相信 Gatsby 这个人，比如死去的双亲（各种无法查证的历史）， San Francisco 的位置，和 Jordan 的tea date（Nick 自己都还没和 Jordan 约过，结果被 Gatsby 抢先了）。
 

8.     Who is Meyer Wolfsheim and what do we know of him? 

Meyer Wolfsheim是 Gatsby 的一个朋友，a gambler(投机者），比较 sentimental, fifty years old, the man who fixed the World’s Series back in 1919.似乎和 Gatsby 有一些不可告人的小秘密（可以猜想 Gatsby 应该也是做投机起家）。关于旅馆的那一段故事，似乎也是故意说给谁听，但是 Mr. Wolfsheim 好像弄错了对象（好尴尬）。
    

9.     With the line, “One October day…" Jordan recalls the time in 1917 when she saw Gatsby and Daisy together. What indication is there that Daisy really liked Gatsby? 

Jordan 的一段话，怎么能看出 Daisy 真的喜欢 Gatsby？her mother found her packing her bag one winter night to go to New York and say goodbye to a soldier who was going overseas. （应该是想私奔吧）结果被及时发现并被家人阻止。因为这件事，还和家里人闹别扭了好几周。
   

 10.   How did Daisy behave the night before her wedding? Why?

Daisy is drunk. 边喝酒边看信，最后喝醉了，Jordan 和她妈妈想尽各种办法给她解酒    

11.   From whom do you suppose the letter in her hand came and what do you think the letter might have said?

这封信应该是来自我们的主人公 Gatsby 吧，也许他想要阻止 Daisy 的婚礼，也许他告诉 Daisy 他就快要回来了（毕竟这个时候还在打仗）。不管怎样，都是让 Daisy 想要改变主意的内容。不过最后 Daisy 还是和 Tom 结婚了，家族的安排还是抵抗不过。。。    

12.   To what is Nick referring in Chapter One when he says, Then it had not been merely the stars to which he [Gatsby] had aspired on that June night”?  

from Chapter one: The silhouette of a moving cat wavered across the moonlight and turning my head to watch it I saw that I was not alone—fifty feet away a figure had emerged from the shadow of my neighbor’s mansion and was standing with his hands in his pockets regarding the silver pepper of the stars. 从这一天起， Gatsby 就在盼望着 Daisy 有一天能够来到他的 party，或者 Gatsby 能够通过 Nick 和 Daisy 见面吧。

13.   What is happening in the relationship between Nick and Jordan?

Nick 听完 Daisy 和 Gatsby 的故事后，突然有种“珍惜眼前人”的感觉了，于是搂的更紧，最后就 kissing 了吧。
