II - TEXTE ------Marian was walking slowly down the aisle, keeping pace with the gentle music that swelled and rippled around her. "Beans", she said. She found the kind marked "Vegetarian" and tossed two cans into her wire cart. ------The music swung into a tinkly waltz; she proceeded down the aisle, trying to concentrate on her list. She resented the music because she knew why it was there: it was supposed to lull you into a euphoric trance, lower your sales reistance to the point at which all things are desirable. But just because she knew what they were up to didn't mean she was immune. These days, if she wasn't careful, she found herself pushing the cart like a somnambulist, eyes fixed, swaying slightly, her hands twitching with the impulse to reach out and grab anything with a bright label. She had begun to defend herself with lists, willing herself to buy nothing, however deceptively priced or subliminally packaged, except what was written there. When she was feeling unusually susceptible she would tick the things off the list with a pencil as an additional countercharm. ------But in some ways they would always be successful: they couldn't miss. You had to buy something sometime. She knew enough about it from the office to realize that the choice between, for instance, two brands of soap or two cans of tomato juice was not what could be called a rational one. In the products there was no real difference. How did you choose then? You could only abandon yourself to the soothing music and make a random snatch. ------She steered her cart towards the vegetable area and picked listlessly through the vegetables. She used to be fond of a good salad but now she had to eat so many of them she was beginning to find them tiresome. How she longed to become again a carnivore, to gnaw on a good bone! Christmas dinner had been dfficult. "Why Marian, you're not eating!" her mother had fussed when she had left the turkey untounched on her plate. She had said she wasn't hungry, and had eaten huge quantities of cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes when no one was looking. Her mother had set her strange loss of appetite down to overexcitement. She had thought of saying she had taken up a new religion that forbade her to eat meat, but it wouldn't have been a good idea: they had been pathetically eager to have the wedding in the family church. Their reaction though, as far as she could estimate the reactions of people who were now so remote of her, was less elated glee (elated glee=a feeling of great joy and excitement) than a quiet, rather smug satisfaction, as though their fears about the effects of her university education, never stated but always apparent, had been calmed at last. They had probably been worried she would turn into a high-school teacher or a maiden aunt or a dope addict or a female executive. But now, their approving eyes said, she was turning out all right after all. (c) Margaret Atwood, The Edible Woman, 1969. COMPREHENSION DU TEXTE. >COMPREHENSION GLOBALE EX1 1.
