Everyone in our village likes my father, so he has a sense of humor. On other words, he can make others laugh easy and people feel happy to be around him. I admire him very much and dream of that some day I will be as humorous as him. I even asked him how have a good sense of humor, but what she replied disappointed me. “Not someone can be humorous, because those who is humorous are usually born to be humorous,” he said. However, later, he adds, “But you can be humorous too if you know a lot of joke.” That’s why now I’m reading a book of jokes.

There was no one quite like my father in our town. When any other man had an extra dollar, he bought a drink; when Father had an extra dollar, he bought a book. Other people had pictures on their walls; we had books, 3000 of them, lining every vertical surface of our little four-room house.
Father was the most persistent scholar I ever knew. He earned seven degrees, attended 11 different colleges and universities, and in 1951, when he was 82, sent us a cheerful little note from England to say that he had just enrolled for a graduate course in Elizabethan literature at Oxford.
I was the immediate beneficiary of Father's unbelievable hunger to learn. Every spring, he would take me hiking through the mountains to study mineral formations. On clear winter nights, he would set up a telescope and wake me to view the stars. After I grew up, wherever I traveled around this earth, the stars remained my friends.
Plain, distinct speech was a particular concern of my father and he was constantly drilling me in the art of elocution （演讲技巧）.Before I was three, he was reading aloud to me from the Bible, Shakespeare and Mark Twain. Thereafter, read aloud to him so he could work on my diction. By the time I was in the fifth grade, I could recite from a whole range of classical literature and poetry.
Of course, there had been times as a young man, when I got tired of study and devoted my time to playing. Then Father would admonish me succinctly by quoting a saying from Shakespeare, "If all the year were playing holidays, to sport would be as tedious （乏味的）as to work."
Obviously, his efforts were not entirely in vain, for my voice has enabled me to earn a fair livelihood. But that fact doesn't begin to define the enormous debt I owe my father.
1.What contributed to my father's being a successful scholar?
A.His gift for academic studies.
B.The academic environment in our town.
C.The wealth of his family.
D.His lifelong passion for knowledge.
2.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined words in Paragraph 5?
A.Criticize me briefly. B.Comfort me patiently.
C.Praise me gently. D.Challenge me bravely.
3.Which of the words below can best describe the author's father?
A.Stubborn and lazy. B.Kind and generous.
C.Consistent and strict. D.Understanding and moody.
4.What may be the best title for the passage?
A.A Successful Scholar B.Enormous Debt
C.Secrets of My livelihood D.Father and Son

My sister and I grew up in a little village in England. Our father was a struggling lawyer, but I always knew he was special. He never criticized us, but used praise to bring out our best. He’d say, “If you pour water on flowers, they flourish(茂盛). If you don’t give them water, they die.” I remember as a child I said something unkind about somebody, and my father said, “Any time you say something unpleasant about somebody else, it’s a reflection of you.” He explained that if I looked for the best in people, I would get the best in return. From then on I’ve always tried to follow the principle in my life and later in running my company.
Dad’s also always very understanding. At 15, I started a magazine. It was taking up a great deal of my time, and the headmaster of my school gave me a choice: stay in school or leave to work on my magazine.
I decided to leave, and Dad tried to stay me from the decision at first, as any good father would. When he realized I had made up my mind, he said, “Richard, when I was 23, my dad persuaded me to go into law. And I’ve always regretted it. I wanted to be a biologist, but I didn’t pursue my dream. You know what you want. Go fulfill it.”
As it turned out, my little publication went on to become Student, a national magazine in the U.K.. My wife and I have two children, and I’d like to think we are bringing them up in the same way Dad raised me.
1.What can we know about the author’s father?
A. He seldom looked for the best.
B. He was a specialist in law.
C. He usually encouraged kids.
D. He was a father without principles.
2.The author left school at 15 mainly because ________.
A. the school forced him to
B. he had to work for money
C. his father understood him
D. He had a dream to fulfill
3.The underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by ________.
A. persuade me out of B. accuse me of
C. remind me of D. agree with me on
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Be nice to others B. My Respectable Father
C. My Happy Childhood D. Go Fulfill Your Dream
