阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和 D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题
卡上将该项涂黑。
A
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 of a tall, handsome, successful man
devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I
loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter about him.
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. Whenever I went out with him
on weekends, I used to struggle to think up 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 café. 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 my 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.
56. Why did the author feel bitter about her father when she was a young adult?
A. He was silent most of the time.
B. He was too proud of himself.
C. He did not love his children.
D. He expected too much of her.
57. When the author went out with her father on weekends, she would feel ______.
A. nervous
B. sorry
C. tired
D. safe
58. What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?
A. More critical.
B. More talkative.
C. Gentle and friendly.
D. Strict and hard-working.
59. The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to ______.
A. the author’s son
B. the author’s father
B. the friend of the author’s father
D. the café owner
