D. lesson | | 阅读理解 | My father and I were very close. I loved pleasing him, and he was always proud of my
success. If I won a spelling contest at school, he was on top of the world. Later in life whenever I
got a promotion(提升), I"d call my father right away and he"d rush out to tell all his friends. In
1970, when I was named president of the Ford Motor Company, I don"t know which of us was
more excited.
Like many native Italians, my parents were very open with their feelings and their loves not
only at home, but also in public. Most of my friends would never hug their fathers. But I hugged
and kissed my dad at every chance - nothing could have felt more natural.
He was a curious man who was always trying new things. He was the first person in Allentown
to buy a motorcycle. Unfortunately, my father and his motorcycle didn"t get along too well. He f
ell off it so often that he got rid of it just a month after buying it. As a result, he never again
trusted any vehicle(车辆) with less than four wheels.
Because of that motorcycle, I wasn"t allowed to have a bicycle when I was growing up.
Whenever I wanted to ride a bike, I had to borrow one from a friend. On the other hand, my
father let me drive a car as soon as I turned sixteen. | | 1. When I won a contest at school, my father would _____. | A. feel most happy over it

D. He was very open with his feelings and his love. | | 3. My father trusted no vehicle with less than four wheels because _____. | A. he did not like the way I borrowed bicycles from friends
B. he thought that cars were faster than motorcycles
C. he liked every new model made by my company
D. he once had trouble in riding his motorcycle | | 4. Which of the following statements is wrong? | A. It was quite natural for the author to kiss and hug his father.
B. When the author reached 16 he was allowed to drive a car.
C. Both of the author"s parents were not open with their feelings.
D. Anytime the author got a promotion, he would inform his father. | | 阅读理解 | I just experienced a moment that turned my entire day around. I went to the cafeteria today
to buy my lunch. However, when I entered the line and was ready to take out money, I realized I
forgot to take the purse with me. I dug through different parts of my bag, looking for small
change. After a while, it became clear that, while I found most of the money I had, I was still
short of money to buy my lunch.
I started looking around for people who may nicely lend me a little change. I thought about all
the time we passed people on the street and said that we didn"t have anything to share. Would
that happen to me? I was too hungry to worry about it. Someone would help. I looked for one of
my friends in the cafeteria, but it was too early for any of them to take their lunch yet.
A very friendly woman appeared in line in front of me. I asked her if she could spare 12 cents.
Instead, she suggested that I put my sandwich in her basket, and anything else I would like to
buy! I told her that I only needed the sandwich, and offered her the change I had found.
However, she insisted on buying me the dinner.
A woman joyfully paid for my entire meal and I was grateful. I learned from her that we
should give without expecting anything in turn, even "Thanks".
