阅读下面短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

When I was growing up,I was embarrassed to be seen with my father.He was severely lame and very short,and when we would walk together,his hand on my arm for balance,people would stare.I would feel ashamed at the unwanted attention.If he ever noticed or was bothered,he never let on,nor did he say anything about it.

It was difficult to coordinate(协调) our steps—his pausing,my impatience—and because of that,we didn’t say much as we went along.But as we started out,he always said,“You set the pace,I will try to adjust to you.”

Our usual walk was to or from the subway,which was how he got to work.He went to work sick,and despite bad weather.He almost never missed a day,and would make it to the office even if others could not.A matter of pride.

When snow or ice was on the ground,it was impossible for him to walk,even with help.At such times my sisters or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn,NY,on a child’s sleigh to the subway entrance.Once there,he would grasp the handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept ice-free.In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building,and he would not have to go outside until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home.

When I think of it now,I wondered at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to subject himself to such indignity and stress.And at how he did it—without bitterness or complaint.

He never talked about himself as an object of pity,nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able.What he looked for in others was a “good heart”,and if he found one,the owner was good enough for him.

Now that I am older,I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people,even though I still don’t know precisely what a “good heart” is.But I know the times I don’t have one myself.

My father has been gone many years now,but I think of him often.I wonder if he sensed my unwillingness to be seen with him during our walks.If he did,I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was,how unworthy I was,how I regretted it.I think of him when I complain about incident,when I am envious of another’s good fortune,when I don’t have a “good heart”.

At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance,and say,“You set the pace,I will try to adjust to you.”

1.What wouldn’t the author like others to see?(No more than 10 words)

2.What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “let on” in the first paragraph? (No more than 5 words)

3.According to the third paragraph,what conclusion can you get about the father’s attitude toward his work? (No more than 8 words)

4.Find an example in the passage that shows the father was a man with a “good heart”.(No more than10 words)

5.What does the author learn from his father? (No more than 15 words)

We feel it important to start reading to your child right from the start –the younger the better! With little ones(children from birth to 4)it is very important to read and reread books.Starting early makes the job of the listener(for you will be teaching your child how to listen) easier,as it helps to develop an early love of the written and spoken word.

We believe that you should read aloud to your child at least once every day .Set a special reading time during the day or evening when you can settle down(安静下来) and enjoy a book,without interruption.For most families,reading aloud at bedtime is a common practice.

We understand that it can be quite discouraging to read to a child who takes no interest .Take heart! Learning to listen takes experience .The more you read ,the more your child will learn to sit for a story .Children have a natural development of responses(反应)to your reading .By the time your child reaches6-7 months,she/he is attracted by the book in your hand ,and would like to test it out by using it as a chew(咀嚼)toy.This is natural! By one year,your child is learning to listen and talk about the pages,often shouting out things she/he recognizes.Encourage this! And at the onset (起始)of walking ,you have your biggest challenge yet.your child is always on the go.you need to set your reading time for a time in the day when your child is preparing to settle down.This means bedtime.Remember,it is your right and duty to teach your child about the power of books.Of course ,it doesn’t happen overnight,but the returns are great!

1.Who does “the listener” in the first paragraph refer to?

A.The writer B.The parent

C.The child D.The teacher

2.The best time of the day to read stories to a child is ______.

A.when the child is still active in the early evening

B.when the parents finish the day’s housework

C.when the child has a chew toy to play with

D.when the child is quiet and peaceful

3.Parent may find it most difficult to read to their child when she/he _______.

A.is 6-7 months old B.is one year old

C.start to walk D.start to talk
