On Sundays my father always wore that gray apron（围裙）?the one with the race cars all over it． 21 _breakfast Dad always announced: "Go ahead everyone．I'll 22 the dishes!"
I suppose it was 23 for a boy's father to wear an apron? even one with race cars? 24 I never thought much of it until the last Sunday in August．As we 25 home slowly from church together, my father seemed very 26 ．"Tommy," he said letting my name roll off his 27 ．"There comes a time in every boy's 28 when he must take on responsibilities．It's time you 29 a greater role in the family．From now on, I want you to__30__the dishes on Sunday morning, so your mother and I can work the crossword puzzle（纵横字谜）together．"
"The dishes!?" I 31 in surprise．
"Anything wrong with taking over the dishes, son?" father said．
I started to say something about a man's 32 or woman's work, but I knew immediately that my protests（抗议）would be 33 .
I didn't taste a bit of 34 that morning．Dad seemed joyful as he described an American game．
At the end of the meal, my father 35 : "Let's go read the paper, Honey．" "Aren't you doing the dishes?" my 36 asked surprisedly．Father smiled and said, "your oldest son has 37 to fill the position．"
"I want you to have this apron on, Tommy．It'll keep your clothes from getting 38 ．" And before I could go against it, he had put the thing on me．"Thanks, Son．Your mother and I 39 this．"
With that he disappeared into the Sunday paper．I looked 40 at the dishes．I could see my dad reaching for the dishes．He was always happy to help the family．My anger soon flew off and I began to sing．

As I write this, I have half an eye on an old James Bond film that is showing on my computer. But this is a story about how I stopped watching TV and began reading again for pleasure, after ten years in which I hardly turned a page.
I suppose I was an enthusiastic reader of "literature" between the ages of nine and fourteen. I had enough time to be White Fang, Robinson Crusoe, and Bilbo Baggins and Jeeves. Of course there was room in the schoolboy's imagination for some real historical figures: Scott of the Antarctic, all of the Vikings, and Benjamin Franklin were good friends of mine.
Then, in adolescence, I began a long search for strange and radical (激进的) ideas. I wanted to challenge my elders and betters, and shock my fellow students with amazing points of view. Of course, the only place to look was in books. I hunted out the longest titles and the authors with the funniest names; I searched the library for completely unread books. Then I found one which became my bible for the whole of 1982, it had a title composed of eleven long words and an author whose name I didn't know how to pronounce. It was really thick and looked dead serious. Even better, it put forward a whole world-view that would take days to explain. Perfect. I took it out of the library three times, proud to see the date-stamps lined up on the empty library insert.
Later, I went to university. Expecting to spend long evenings in learned discussion with clever people, I started reading philosophy. For some reason I never found the deep-thinking intellectuals I hoped to meet. Anyway, I was ready to impress with my profound (深奥的) knowledge of post-structuralism, existentialism and situationism. These things are usually explained in rather short books, but they take a long time to get through. They were the end of my youthful reading.
Working life was hard to get used to after so much theory. It was the end of books for me. There didn't seem to be much in books that would actually get things done. To do things you had to answer the telephone and work a computer. You had to travel about and speak to people who weren't at all interested in philosophy. I didn't stop reading, you can't avoid that. I read all day. But no books came my way, only manuals (操作手册) and contracts and documents. Maybe most people satisfy their need for stories and ideas with TV and, to tell the truth, it was all I needed for ten years. In those days I only had a book "on the go" for the duration of aeroplane flights. At first I would come home and watch TV over dinner. Then, I moved the TV so I could watch it from bed. I even got a switch so I could turn it off without getting out of bed. Then, one fateful day, my TV broke and my landlady took it away.
My new TV is an extra circuit board (电路板) inside my computer. It's on a desk in front of a working chair and I can't see it from the bed. I still use it for the weather forecasts and it's nice to have it on while I'm typing this… but what to do last thing at night? Well, have another go with books.
Now, I just like books. I have a pile of nice ones by my bed and I'm reading about six at the same time. I don't want to be any of the characters. I don't care if a thousand people have already read them. I don't have to search through libraries. There are books everywhere and all of them have something to read in them. I have the strange feeling that they've been there all along, waiting for me to pick them up.
【小题1】The writer enjoyed reading “literature” between the ages of nine and fourteen because ________.
| A．he thought it was important for a schoolboy to do so |
| B．he was still too young to understand other books |
| C．he believed all the real historical figures were his friends |
| D．he could imagine himself being the characters in the books |
| A．a library intended for teenagers | B．a kind of books on traditions |
| C．a philosophy theory | D．a kind of reading skill |
| A．he found watching TV was more interesting |
| B．he became too busy to read any books |
| C．he found books were of little use to his work |
| D．he had to read a lot of manuals, contracts and documents |
| A．to find back his youth in books | B．for the pure pleasure of reading |
| C．so as to help kill his spare time | D．for only business purposes |
| A．The Years with Books | B．Books and TV Programs |

My wife and I used to feel that it was impossible to be a true friend to someone whose name we didn’t know. How wrong we were! Years of Sunday-morning bus trips through the city with the same group of “nameless” people have changed our thinking.
Before the bus takes off, we all join in a conversation: where’s the silent woman who sits up front and never responds to our cheery greetings? Here she comes. Her worn clothing suggests she doesn’t have much money to spare, but she always takes an extra cup of coffee for the driver.
We get smiles from a Mexican couple as they get on the bus hand in hand. When they get off, they’re still holding hands. The woman was pregnant late last year, and one day her change of shape confirmed that she’d delivered the child. We even felt a little pride at the thought of our extended family.
For many months, our only sadness lay in our inability无能无力 to establish the same friendship with the silent woman at the front of the bus. Then, one evening, we went to a fish restaurant. We were shown to a table alongside someone sitting alone. It was the woman from the bus.
We greeted her with friendly familiarity we’d shown all year, but this time her face softened, then a shy smile. When she spoke, the words escaped awkwardly( 笨拙地) from her lips. All at once we realized why she hadn’t spoken to us before. Talking was hard for her.
Over dinner; we learned the situation of a single mother with a disabled son who was receiving special care away from home. She missed him desperately不顾一切地, she explained.
“I love him… and he loves me, even though he doesn’t express it very well,” she murmured. “Lots of us have that problem, don’t we? We don’t say what we want to say, what we should be saying. And that’s not good enough.”
The candles flared on our tables. Our fish had never tasted better. But the atmosphere grew pleasant, and when we parted as friends—we shared names.
1.Which of the following might be the best title of this passage?
|
A．Friends of the Road |
