My father was lame(瘸的) and very short. I was very shy to be seen with my father when I was growing up. When we walked together, he used to put his hand on my arm for balance, and people would stop to watch us. So I didn’t like to go out with him. Sometimes my mother left our town to see her sister, and I had to helphim instead of my mother. I didn’t say much as we went along. As we started out, he always said, “You can walk fast. And I can keep up with you.”

We usually walk to the subway, by which he went to work. He went to work though he was sick or it was bad weather. He almost never missed a day, and could get to the office on time even if others could not. When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk even with other person’s help. At such times my sister or I would pull him across the streets on a child’s sleigh(雪橇) to the subway entrance.

When I think of it now, I am surprised how much courage(勇氣) he had to make his way to the office. I never heard my father complain about it. Now he has been gone many years, but I think of him often. I really want to tell him how sorry I feel for it and how deeply I love him.

1.When the writer walked with his father, _______.

A. he thought it pleasant to help his father

2.The writer’s father _______.

A. Only the writer himself

B. The writer and his mother together

C. Only the writer’s sister

D. With the help of a sleigh, the writer or his sister

When I was a little kid, a father was like the light in the fridge. Every house had one, but no one really knew what either of them did when the door was shut.

My dad left the house every morning and always seemed glad to see every one again at night. He opened the jar of pickles when no one else at home could. He was the only one in the house who wasn’t afraid to go into the basement by himself.

Whenever it rained, he got into the car and brought it around to the door. When anyone was sick, he went out to get the prescription(處方) filled. He set mousetraps. He cut back the roses so the thorns(刺) wouldn’t hurt you when you came to the front door. He oiled my roller skates, and they went faster. When I got my bike, he ran alongside me for at least a thousand miles until I got the hang of it. He signed all my report and cards. He took a lot of pictures, but was never in them. He tightened up Mother’s sagging(松垂的) clothesline every week or so.

I was afraid of everyone else’s father, but not my own.

Whenever I played house(玩過家家), the mother doll had a lot to do. I never knew what to do with the daddy doll, so I had him say, “I’m going off to work now,” and threw him under the bed.

When I was nine years old, my father didn’t get up one morning and go to work, he went to the hospital and died the next day.

There were a lot of people in the house who brought all kinds of good food and cakes. We had never had so much company before.

He never did anything; I didn’t know his leaving would hurt so much.

Country music is a kind of modern-day pop music, originated (起源) in the southern United States and Appalachia mountains. The singers usually play the guitar, and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars. Nowadays people use the violin, banjo, and slide-guitar as well.

The music at the very beginning was generally very smooth, beautiful and the phrasing structure (句法結(jié)構(gòu)) also was simple. In the 1950s, American country music was about other things, for example, love and money. In the 1960s, songs were often full of anger, and some of them made fun of the political (政治的) leaders. During the 1990s, American country music became more and more popular. Song writers were no longer writing about the modern values of the USA—money, success or expensive things to buy. Instead they were writing once more about things that were usual for everyone.

Today country music has become a big business. It brings in a lot of money. Now, it has reached all parts of the States, from Los Angeles in the west to New York in the east. It remains much the same as before. One subject is “the good old days”. In “the good old days” people praised each other. They believed that the best things in life were free: sunshine, laughing, walks in the beauty of the country, friends and music.
