Answer 1

　　C

　　本題譯文：母親在醫(yī)院就醫(yī)的各種帳單送來(lái)時(shí)，父親高興的是他可用銀行里的存款來(lái)支付。fall back on求助于。fall short of沒達(dá)到，低于：1)He fell short of what we had expected.(他沒有達(dá)到我們的期望。) 2)The measures proposed fall far short of what is required.(所提出的這些措施遠(yuǎn)沒達(dá)到需要的目標(biāo)。)fall in with與......一致，符合；同意，贊成，支持。Fall through落空。參閱Ⅲ.49注釋。
