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(成人的) I feared him and felt bitterabout 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 talked 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 nev er 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.1. Why did the author feel bitter about her father as 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.2. When the author went out with her father on weekend, she would feel .A. nervousB. sorryC. tiredD. safe3. What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?A. More critical.B. More talkativeC. Gentle and friendly.D. Strict and hard-working.4. The underlined words ―my new friend‖in the last paragraph refer to .A. the author’s sonB. the author’s fatherC. the friend of the author’s fatherD. the café ownerBIt is often necessary to release a fish, that is, set it free after catching, because it is to o small, or you just don’t want to take it home to eat. In some cases, releasing fish is a good measure that will help keep fish variety and build their population size. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) encourages fishermen who practice catch-and-release fishing to use a few simple skills when doing so. The advice provided below will help make sure that the fish you release will survive to bite again another day.—When catching a fish, play it quickly and keep the fish in the water as much as possible.Don’t’ use a net in landing the fish and release it quickly to prevent it from dying.—Hold the fish gently. Do not put your fingers in its eyes. Don’t wipe the scales (鱼鳞) off the fish because it might cause it to develop a disease and reduce its chance of survival.—Remove your hook quickly. If the hook is too deep or hooked in the stomach, cut the line and leave the hook in. The hook left inside will cause no serious problem to the fish.—Take good care of the fish by moving it gently in water. Release the fish when it begins to struggle and is able to swim.—Do not hold fish in a bucket or some other containers and later decide to release it. If you are going to release a fish, do so right away.With a little care and by following the suggestions given above, you can give the released fish a better chance of survival.5. People sometimes set a fish free after catching it because they _________A. don’t want it to dieB. hope it will grow quicklyC. don’t want to have it as foodD. want to practice their fishing skills6. Which of the following will probably make a fish ill?A. Taking the hook off it.B. Removing its scales.C. Touching its eyesD. Holding it in your hand.7. A proper way to release a fish is to _________.A .move it in water till it can swim B. take the hook out of its stomachC. keep it in a bucket for some timeD. let it struggle a little in your hand8. What is the purpose of the test?A. To show how to enjoy fishing.B. To persuade people to fish less often.C. To encourage people to set fish free.D. To give advice on how to release fish.CDo you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.For example, some might say, ―I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!‖This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a wi nner. He’s really a big loser!He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Some politicians often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents(对手) says, ―During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!‖ that’s true. However, an honest statement would have been, ―During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.‖Advertisers(广告商) will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, ―Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pi lls to cure toothache.‖ It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.9. How much did the lottery winner lose?A. One hundred dollars.B. Two hundred dollars.C. Three hundred dollars.D. Four hundred dollars. 10. We may infer that the author believes people should _______.A. buy lottery ticketsB. make use of half-truthsC. not take anything at face valueD. not trust the Yucky Company11. What do the underlined words ―net gain‖ in Paragraph 5 mean?A. final increaseB. big advantageC. large shareD. total saving12. What can we know from the example of the Y ucky Pill advertisement?A.False statements are easy to see through.B.Half-truths are often used to mislead people.C.Doctors like to act in advertisements.D.Advertisements are based on facts.DAttractions in WisconsinWisconsin Historical Museum30 N.
