阅读理解。     Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there
a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
     My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family,
but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and
felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A"s and unhappy with my boyfriends if
their fathers were not as "successful" as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to
struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
     On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father"s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We
walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son"s funny facial
expressions. Gone was my father"s critical air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who
seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
     The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own
childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment.
After so many years, I"m at last seeing another side of my father. And in doing so, I"m delighted with my new
friend

A. He was silent most of the time.
B. He was too proud of himself.
C. He did not love his children.
D. He expected too much of her. 2. What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson? [     ]

     The nervous-looking young man had waited for a few moments outside the jeweler"s before he got enough
courage to enter. He was warmly greeted by a young assistant. James felt a rush of blood to his face as he
explained he would be bringing in his future wife to choose a birthday present. The assistant listened carefully
and told him he"d better buy a necklace (项链). He wasn"t used to buying jewelry and was a little worried about
overspending, because he was not very rich. After some discussion as to a reasonable price and the type, the
assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose. At last James chose one and left the shop
promising to return at five o"clock. Half an hour later than planned, James did return to the shop with his future
wife, Laura. The assistant acted as if she had never seen him before. When she was asked to show them some
necklaces, she first brought out some inexpensive ones for them to choose, and then gave them the ones she
had prepared. A choice was soon made and they went away satisfactorily. Later James would certainly come
back to buy what he wanted when he got married.

Spaghetti (意大利面条)" caught my eye. The word "spaghetti" brought back the    1    of an evening at
Uncle Alien"s in Belleville    2    all of us were seated around the table and Aunt Pat    3    spaghetti for
supper. Spaghetti was an exotic (外来的) treat in    4    days. Never had I eaten spaghetti, and    5    of
the grown-ups had enough experience to be    6    it. What laughing    7    we had about the    8   
respectable method for moving spaghetti from plate to mouth.    9   , I wanted to write about that, but
I wanted to   10   it down simply for my own   11   not for Mr. Fleagle, my composition teacher.   12  ,
I would write something else.
     When I finished it the night was half gone and there was no   13   left to write a proper composition
for Mr. Fleagle. There was no choice next morning but to   14   my work. Two days passed before Mr.
Fleagle returned the   15   papers. He said, "Now, class, I want to read you a composition," "The Art of
Eating Spaghetti".
     My words! He was reading my words out   16   to the whole class.   17   laughed, then the whole
class was laughing with open-hearted enjoyment. I did my best not to show   18  , but what I was feeling
was pure happiness,   19   my words had the power to make people   20  .
