Question

6．When I walked into the house after school，the first thing I noticed was a box with items I recognized from my dad's office．When he told me that he was laid off，I thought he was joking．Then I noticed his seriousness and realized he was telling the truth．My father has always been a hard worker．He has prided himself on his career．（71）AI guess I had taken his work for granted．
（72）DFor starters，he was home all the time．In meant my bed had to be made，my room cleaned up，and my homework done right after school．I would come home every day to find him at the computer searching for jobs．（73）CHe seemed down，though he tried to be optimistic．He asked my brother and me to spend less．I gave up my spending money，which wasn't much．I also found a part-time job．
（74）EHe explained that he never wanted to be laid off again，so he was going to start his own business．Day by day，I watched him build it，On evening I asked if he needed help．"Only if it doesn't affect school，"he said．I showed up at his office the next afternoon，and most afternoons after that for two months．
（75）GThe terrible experience for our family taught me how to deal with difficulties．Now I know that through creative problem-solving，I can always find Plan B．I can ask for help and take risks．What I have learned from my dad's understanding of business and his work ethic（信条） are two of the most important lessons I will ever learn．And they will be my principles for success．
   
A．Providing for our family has been his joy．
B．I made every effort to solve his problems．
C．I began to notice how losing his job had affected him．
D．My father's unemployment created many changes in our lives．
E．After months of searching，my dad decided to go in a totally different direction．
F．His courage and determination helped him to become successful in his new career．
G．I always knew he was a hard worker，but watching him in action influenced me a lot．

Answer 1

分析 本文主要介绍了爸爸失业带来的影响，以及我对他看法的改变．作为家庭支柱的爸爸失业带给家庭的影响远远不及对他本人的影响大，通过一段时间的变化和他自己的调整让我重新认识了爸爸，对他的观察也深深影响了我．

解答 71．A．由前两句My father has always been a hard worker．He has prided himself on his career可知，工作对爸爸来说一直是他的一种骄傲；故选A．
72．D．后面提到For starters，he was home all the time说明爸爸失业带来的不良影响；所以选项D符合问句的意思．
73．C．He seemed down，though he tried to be optimistic一句提到虽然他看起来很乐观，但是实际上很消沉，可知这是描述失业对爸爸的具体的影响．故选C．
74．E．根据Day by day，I watched him build it可知，是作者日积月累的观察，发现爸爸的渐进变化；爸爸开始发生了转变；故选E．
75．G．The terrible experience for our family taught me how to deal with difficulties．Now I know that through creative problem-solving，I can always find Plan．最后总结我以前对爸爸的印象是模糊的，亲自观察到他的变化对我影响很大；故选G．
