Certainly dustmen prefer to be known as "Reuse Collection and Disposal Officers". You may think that this is rather 36 , and it is better to call a spade a spade. But dustmen can be as 37 as people of any other occupation, though we must 38 that their job is not a 39 one in the world. We often take dustmen for granted. Perhaps because they usually come very early in the morning, before most people are 40 .We are likely to forget their 41 .Our dustbins are 42 regularly, but we 43 stop to think about the men who do this. However, it is one of the most important jobs in the world, and when there are no dustmen to 44 the rubbish, the general 45 soon becomes aware that something is wrong. Recently, the dustmen of England went on strike for higher wages.
During the first few days it was regarded as a 46 .But when the first two weeks had passed, and the dustbins were overflowing in nearly every backyard in the country, the joke did not seem so 47 any more. 48 the strike continued, people could not 49 the hills of rubbish around their dustbins, and they looked for other places in which to 50 it. Even Leicester Square, in the heart of West End of London, was 51 high with plastic bags full of smelly rubbish. This was a(n) 52 attraction that the people of London were not at all 53 to see. Even when the strike was over, it took several weeks for the country to get cleaned up completely.

So I’m driving the lovely and patient older daughter to work. At 7 a. m., she pushes the seat
warmer button as her new Honda zooms across L. A., the City of Padded Shoulders.
"Oh, look, I’m low on gas," she says.
First, we pick up her boss, then we pick up her other boss. They are all headed to Staples Center for some awards show. My daughter does something in public relations, I’m not sure what. But when this show comes along, she gets very busy.
"In the past two nights I’ve gotten, like, seven hours sleep," she notes, the implication being that I sleep all the time, which is pretty much true.
In Los Feliz, a dashboard light confirms that we are, indeed, low on fuel. This does not perturb my daughter.
"Don’t worry, we’ll get there," she says.
My daughter says nothing about getting back home, which is my job. I’ve just agreed to drop her off, so she can avoid traffic later. My task is simple, though now full of uncertainty.
I don’t know how I ended up dropping my daughter and her bosses off at 7 a.m. on a Sunday. I just know that J.D. Salinger may now be dead, but I still feel like Holden Caulfield -- at the mercy of too many yammering adults.
Now, I’ve had mixed luck with adults.
Apparently, my daughter’s job in PR is to keep everyone happy while telling the truth as much as possible. I sent her to college to study that. Now she is an expert.
"After you drop us off, you can get gas," my daughter assures me.
I have been her chauffeur for 26 years. By the time she was 3, I’d snapped her into a car seat some 14,000 times. I took her to seventh-grade dances, ski trips, college.
Even after all that, we continue to have a civil relationship, sort of a queen-mum-and-her-
driver sort of dynamic. When I screw up, she just raises her pretty chin and snorts. It’s very British.
By the way, my daughter now has a nicer car than I do, which is a sign she is doing well. Or, as with so many young people, she is up to her hoop earrings in consumer debt.
1.Which of the following statements in NOT true about the author’s daughter?
A.She is fashionable. B.She always tells the truth.
C.She is doing well in her work. D.She lives a fast-paced life.
2.The author’s tone suggests that_________.
A.he is feeling left behind when his daughter has grown up and begun adult life
B.he is content with his grown daughter
C.he does not like his daughter’s bosses
D.he will not believe his daughter any more
3.It can be concluded from the passage that_________.
A.the author won’t have any difficulty in getting gas
B.the daughter cares for her father a lot
C.the author has done a lot to help his daughter get where she is
D.the British people have pretty chin and snort often
4.By referring to J. D. Salinger and Holden Caulfield, the author is most probably_________.
A.recalling his daughter’s childhood
B.mentioning his family members who are now dead
C.comparing his situation to a scene in a famous literary work
D.telling a story about his daughter’s friends
5.What is the best title for this passage?
A.A PR’s Busy Life
B.Relationship Between Dad and Daughter
C.A Loving Father
D.Go Ahead and Fill Her up, Dad

When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of6.at him, giving him a lecture, or punishing him, she said: “Robert, what an(a)7.and wonderful mess you have made! I have8.seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to9.down and play in the milk for a few10.before we clean it up?”
Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said: “You know, Robert,11.you make a mess like this, you have to clean it up at last and restore everything to its proper12.. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge, a towel, or a mop. Which do you13.?” He chose the sponge and together they14.up the milk.
His mother then said: “You know, what happened just now is a15.experiment in how effectively to carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’s16.out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can17.a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy18.that if he held the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it.
This scientist then19.that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make20..
Wouldn’t it be great if all parents would respond the way Robert’s mother responded to him?
