科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

There are two things I can count on my dad asking every time he calls me: “Is there anything I can do for you?” and “How’s the car?” I guess he asks what he can do for me because his dad (an air force officer) was never really there for him, and he’s determined to provide me with the support he lacked. During my youth he never missed a school play or softball game. In fact, he was so supportive that I sometimes longed for one of those dads who dressed better and cared less. But my dad would forever be the guy wearing shorts with dress shoes and black socks, cheering me on, expecting greatness.
His other standard question—How’s the car? -- used to strike me as a waste of long-distance dollars from a man who once suggested making a list of what you want to talk about before calling someone out of state. What I now realize is that “How’s the car?” is not about the car. It’s a father’s way of asking his adult daughter how she is doing. The advantage is that if there’s something wrong with the car, he knows what to do about it and how much it will cost, whereas if you’re having problems about marriage or doubting a career choice, he might have to act Mom on the line.
At age thirty I finally took the plunge(跳進) into adulthood by renting a car without my dad’s help or advice. I’m sure my dad was hurt rather than proud. Though a daughter’s independence is evidence of a job well done, it still implies the job’s done, and many fathers are unwilling to retire. Even when my dad was overworked, he’d happily jump on a plane if I said I needed help. His frequent question “Is there anything I can do for you?” underlines the fact that he wishes there was still something he could provide. It’s interesting: Even though we’re tied by blood and I love him no matter what, he still seems to need a concrete function -- suggesting stocks, finding the cheapest plane fare -- to feel he has a role in my life.
小題1:In the author’s opinion, her father always attended her school plays or softball games to_____.
A．satisfy any demand she made to him
B．show his interest and watch them for fun
C．make up what he was previously short of
D．expect his daughter would be great in games
小題2:The author has learned that by asking “How is the car?”, her father is actually_____.
A．reminding her not to waste money
B．asking how his daughter is getting along
C．expressing his concern for her daughter’s safety
D．asking his daughter if the car breaks down or not
小題3:According to the author, her father, like many other fathers, is unwilling to retire probably because_____.
A．he wants to continue to earn money
B．he is doubtful of children’s independence
C．he won’t put an end to caring for his children
D．he is afraid of losing connection with children
小題4:We can safely draw a conclusion from the story that in the author’s eye her father_____.
A．has a strong passion for his work
B．has the deepest love for his children
C．has great interest in his daughter’s car
D．has too much control over his children

A Lesson in Caring
It was a cold evening. My daughter and I were walking up Broadway. I didn’t notice a guy sitting inside a cardboard box. But Nora    . She wasn’t even four, but she      at my coat and said, “That man’s cold. Daddy, can we take him home?”
I don’t remember my    . But I do remember a sudden     feeling inside me. I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her    , whether it was birds flying or children playing. But now she was noticing     and beggary.
A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who picked up a food package from a nearby school on a Sunday morning and     it to an elderly person. I signed us up. Nora was     about it. She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how     our job was. When Sunday came, she was ready, but I had to     myself to leave the house to fetch the food package. On my way to the school, I fought a(n)     to turn back. The Sunday paper and coffee were waiting for me at home. Why do this?    , we phoned the elderly person we’d been appointed. She    us right over.
The building was in a bad state. A silver-haired woman in an old dress received us. Nora ran inside. I     followed. However, when we talked, I was moved by her struggle against the hard life and realized what our little help meant to her. When the time came to say goodbye, we three hugged. I walked home    , touched.
Professionals call such a     “a volunteer opportunity”. They are opportunities and I’ve come to see.     else but as volunteers do you have the opportunity to do something     that’s good for others as well as for yourself? Nora and I regularly serve meals to needy people and     clothes for the homeless. Yet, as I’ve     her grow over these past four years, I still wonder – which of us has benefited more?

Since I was a child, I called my father my Kong, after King Kong. I believed that he was just as strong as the giant ape(猿猴). As he faced death, I did my best to help release him to the next life.
Two months after he passed away, my sister called to ask if I would like to go see Lisa Williams, a well-known witch（巫婆）. I was familiar with Lisa from her show on Lifetime, and since I was eager to get a sign from my father, I agreed to go.
I took my father’s gold watch and listened as Lisa helped audience members communicate with their loved ones. “I have a grandfather-like figure with me and he is speaking about his granddaughter Jilly,” she announced. The audience was quiet; no one raised a hand. I nudged（用肘輕推） my sister and whispered to her that this was Dad ,for my third child and my father had a deep bond(關系，紐帶) and he called her Jilly.
Although I sensed his presence, I wasn’t confident enough to raise my hand. I needed something a bit more concrete, something undoubted.
“This man is letting me know he had cancer,” she continued. I nudged my sister harder and assured her this was our father. Lisa went on to say that this person died in June (my father had died June 8th). There was swelling of the legs.
“Important information,” she called out. My heart beat fast . I jumped up when she asked, “Who is holding his watch?” I waved the watch in the air.
“He wishes you congratulations.” My fourth child was born three weeks after my father died. I was in shock and could not believe I was getting a chance to hear from him, yet I knew our bond was strong enough that he could come to the world. She banged on her chest like an ape and apologized, saying, “I don’t know why but he wants me to do this like Tarzan.” It didn’t resonate（共鳴） with me until my sister called out “King Kong!” I was convinced. No way could this woman have ever known a detail unless Dad was communicating through her.
Each bit of information she gave us was just as meaningful. She ended our session by informing us that he would send us coins. The very next day I found six coins in various places; they seemed to have come out of nowhere. Even in death he is my Kong, and he remains important in my life.
