I shook hands with my father in the truc...

I shook hands with my father in the truck, and for a long time he looked straight ahead and didn’t say a word. But I knew he was going to say a little to me. “I can’t tell anything,” he finally said. “I never went to college, and none of your brothers went to college. I can’t say, ‘I don’t do this and do that’, because everything is different and I don’t know what is going to come up. I can’t help much with money either, but I think things will work out. ”

He gave me a new check-book (支票簿). “If things get pushing, write a small check. But when you write one, send me a letter and let me know how much. There are some things we can always sell.” In four years all the checks I wrote were less than a thousand dollars. My part-time jobs such as reading to the blind student and sitting with the teachers’ kids filled in the financial gaps (经济缺口).

“You know what you want to be, and they’ll tell you what to take,” my father went on. “When you get a job, be sure it’s honest, and work hard.” I knew that soon I would be alone in the big town, and I would be missing the cool winds and a life where your thinking was done for you.

Then my dad reached down beside his seat and brought the old, broken Bible (圣经) that he had read so often, the one he used when he wanted to look something up in a friendly quarrel with one of the neighbors. I knew he would miss it. I knew, though, that I must take it.

He didn’t say, “Read this every morning.” He just said, “This can help you if you will let it.”

Did it help? I got through college without being a burden (负担) on the family. I have been able to make money since.

1.Why did the father not ask his son not to do this and do that?

A. Because he didn’t feel very confident of himself.

B. Because he was born from a poor family.

C. Because he was a man of few words.

D. Because he didn’t want to be much too strict with him.

2.What’s the proper Chinese meaning for the underlined part “get pushing” in the passage?

A. 闲暇时光     B. 学费       C. 经济不足   D. 精神空虚

3.What kind of book did the Bible seem to be to the writer’s father?

A. It was a book which told you how to quarrel with others.

B. It was a book that could bring you money.

C. It was a book that told you how to get a good job and a good future.

D. It was a good book that could help you when you were in trouble.

4. What is the writer’s main purpose (目的) in writing this passage?

A. To tell the readers his life story.

B. To tell people what kind of person his father was.

C. To let people know how poor he was.

D. To tell the readers what present he got from his father.

5.What would someone learn from this passage?

A. How to communicate with parents.

B. How to stand on one’s own feet.

C. What a good father should do.

D. What the self-important is like.

 

1.A 2.C 3.D 4.D 5.B 【解析】 试题分析:这篇短文主要介绍了爸爸送我上大学时,握着我的手,直视着前方。后来和我说了一些话,然后给了我一个支票本,让我需要钱的时候,写一张,但是要写信告诉他是多少。他从座位下拿出一本破旧的圣经给我,告诉我如果我让它有帮助它就会有帮助。我上大学没有成为家人的负担,因为从那时起我就开始兼职挣钱了。 1.A推理判断题。根据短文I can’t say, ‘I don’t do this and do that’, because everything is different and I don’t know what is going to come up.可以推测,父亲对事情没有信心,故选A。 2.C词义猜测题。根据短文“If things get pushing, write a small check. But when you write one, send me a letter and let me know how much.可以推测,是经济不足时,写一张小支票,故选C。 3.D推理判断题。根据短文“Read this every morning.” He just said, “This can help you if you will let it.”可知父亲认为那是一本好书,故选D。 4.D推理判断题。根据短文描述父亲对儿子讲的话及送的圣经可知主要描述的是父亲在儿子上大学时送的礼物,故选D。 5. 考点:日常生活类短文阅读。
