Question

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me if I didn’t got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was.  Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to try hard to think out things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe.  We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.

解析试题分析：本文讲述的是在小的时候，父亲对我很严厉很严格。和父亲在一起的时候，我很紧张。但是现在我长大了，带着我的孩子回去看望父亲的时候，父亲变的很善良很温和。成了我的新朋友，让我看见了父亲另外一面。
【小题1】推理题：根据第二段中“He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was”可知父亲对我的要求很高。故选D。
【小题2】推理题：根据第二段最后一句“Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard”可知我和父亲在一起的时候，感觉很紧张。故选A。
【小题3】推理题：根据第三段中“Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before”可知以前那个刻板，要求很高的，严厉的父亲已经没有了。代替的是一个很友好善良的父亲。故选C。
【小题4】推理题：根据本句“I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.”以及横线后面的my dad可知这里的我的新朋友就是指我的父亲。故选B。
