When I was young, my father used to grow carnations — a kind of flower that was red, pink or white. He took care of them with much love and devotion. Every day he came home from work, he would enjoy watching them. And he used to tell us, “No one should touch my flowers.”

One day, my younger sister Clemence, who loved dad very much, wanted to help him. So she cut the carnation from their stems (枝干) one by one and arranged (排列) them on the ground. She believed that dad would be very happy to see them that way.

When mom and I realized what my sister had done, we became completely silent. However, my sister didn’t know why no one showed her any appreciation (感谢). When dad arrived, he went as usual straight to watch the flowers. Seeing his flowers lying on the ground like dead animals, he was shocked at first. He looked towards the street to see if it was any of the neighbors’ children who could have done it. Then he looked at mom in silence. Finally mom, who always taught us to tell the truth no matter what, said, “No bad neighbors did this great job, only your lovely daughter Clemence.”

Dad’s face changed into a smile and then he said, “Do I have better flower than my lovely daughter?” My younger sister smiled and hugged (拥抱) dad strongly.

My father was lame(瘸的) and very short. I was very shy to be seen with my father when I was growing up. When we walked together, he used to put his hand on my arm for balance, and people would stop to watch us. So I didn’t like to go out with him. Sometimes my mother left our town to see her sister, and I had to helphim instead of my mother. I didn’t say much as we went along. As we started out, he always said, “You can walk fast. And I can keep up with you.”

We usually walk to the subway, by which he went to work. He went to work though he was sick or it was bad weather. He almost never missed a day, and could get to the office on time even if others could not. When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk even with other person’s help. At such times my sister or I would pull him across the streets on a child’s sleigh(雪橇) to the subway entrance.

When I think of it now, I am surprised how much courage(勇气) he had to make his way to the office. I never heard my father complain about it. Now he has been gone many years, but I think of him often. I really want to tell him how sorry I feel for it and how deeply I love him.

1.When the writer walked with his father, _______.

A. he thought it pleasant to help his father

B. he told his father a lot about his school

C. he felt proud of his father

D. he felt shy of walking with his father

2.The writer’s father _______.

A. needed to take exercise every day

B. went out to send his children to school every day

C. had a job in an office

D. went to work on the farm every day

3._______ helped father go to work when it snows.

A. Only the writer himself

B. The writer and his mother together

C. Only the writer’s sister

D. With the help of a sleigh, the writer or his sister

4.Which is the correct meaning of “complain about”

A. 抱怨　　　　 B. 谈论　　　 C. 说到　　 D. 代替

5.From the passage we know that _______.

A. the writer misses his father deeply

B. the writer is always ready to help his father

C. the writer has a happy family now

D. the writer’s father works harder than before

When I was growing up, I was ashamed to be seen with my father. He was severely crippled(跛的) and very short. And when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. If he was ever noticed or bothered, he never let on(流露).

It was difficult to coordinate our steps—his slow, mine impatient—and because of that, we didn't say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to adjust(调整, 适应) to you.”

He never talked about himself as an object of sympathy(同情), nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a “good heart", and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him. I believe that is a proper standard by which we can judge people, even though I still don't know exactly what “a good heart" is.

Unable to engage in many activities, my father still tried to participate in some way.

I now know he participated in some things indirectly through me, his only son. When I played ball, he “played” too. When I joined the Navy, he “joined” too. And when I came home on leave, he saw to it that(确保) I visited his office. Introducing me, he was really saying, “This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too, if things had been different.” Those words were never said aloud.

He has been gone many years. I often wonder if he sensed my unwillingness during our walks. If so, I just want to tell him how sorry I was and how I regretted it.

Now I think of him when I complain about small affairs, when I am envious(羡慕的, 嫉妒的) of others’ good fortune, when I don't have a "good heart."

At such times, I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance, and say, “You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you.”

1.The author felt unhappy while walking with his father mainly because ________.

A.it was hard for them to walk at the same pace B.he felt pity for his father's physical disability

C.he didn't want others to know he had an ugly father D.it was not easy for his father to keep balance

2.The word “participate” probably means “________”.

A.join B.prevent C.fit D.avoid

3.It can be inferred from the text that ________.

A.the father was proud of his only son B.the father took part in all his son’s activities

C.the author was upset when asked to his father’s office D.the author was an outstanding player

4.In the last paragraph, the author tries to tell us that he________.

A.will follow his father's standards of being a good person

B.will learn from his father and try to be a good father himself

C.regrets his unwillingness to walk with his father
