Last April, on a Sunday, we took one of our “nowhere” drives. My husband was quietly driving along a back road. I was occupied in the front passenger seat watching the scenery.

I noticed out of the corner of my eye that my husband was struggling to look out of my window. This frightened me, since his eyes should be on the road in front of him. I asked him what he was looking at out of the windows, and he quietly replied, “Nothing.”

After a few minutes, I looked over at my husband and noticed a tear running down his cheek. I asked him what was wrong. This time he told me, “I was just thinking about Pop and a story he had once told.”　 It had something to do with Pop, his friend from childhood, and I wanted to know the story, so I asked him to share it with me.

He said, “When I was about 8 years old, Pop and I were out fishing and he told me that the pine trees know when it is Easter.”

I had no idea what he meant by that, so I pressed him for more information.

He continued on... “The pine trees start their new growth in the weeks before Easter because spring is drawing near. If you look at the tops of the pine trees, you will see the yellow shoots(嫩芽). As the days get closer to Easter Sunday, the tallest shoot will branch off and form a cross. By the time Easter Sunday comes around, you will see that most of the pine trees will have small yellow crosses on all of the tallest shoots.”

I turned to look out of the window and I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was a week before Easter, and you could see all of the trees with the tall yellow shoots stretching to the sky.

The tallest ones shone in the sunlight like rows of tiny golden crosses. May you find your Easter season filled with beautiful golden crosses!

1.How did the author feel when she found her husband looking outward while driving?

A. Curious. B. Calm.

C. Afraid. D. Excited.

2.Why did the husband cry?

A. He saw something strange out of the window.

B. He was scolded by his wife for driving carelessly.

C. He was too frightened to drive the car on the road.

D. He thought of an old friend and was moved by his story.

3.What can we infer from the text?

A. The author knew Pop’s story very well.

B. Pop was traveling together with the couple.

C. The author was amazed at the appearance of pine trees.

D. Pine trees have something to do with the origin of Easter.

4.What does the author intend to tell us?

A. We should be careful while driving.

B. Pine trees are more beautiful before Easter.

C. Easter should be decorated with golden crosses.

D. Easter promises hope with the coming of spring.

When I got the driving license last summer, Mom and I took our first trip around an empty parking lot. Then I found that my mother was not the best teacher for me. It wasn't that she shouted, or told me that I was doing poorly. As you can imagine, my mother's "helpful instructions" only managed to make me more nervous.

Since I could no longer practice with her, the job was placed in the hands of my father. The idea of learning from Dad was not one that thrilled me. I loved him dearly, but I just did not see Dad as someone I could be comfortable learning from. He almost never talked. We shared a typical father-daughter relationship. He'd ask how school was, and I'd say it was fine. Unfortunately, that was the most of our conversations. Spending hours alone with someone who might as well have been a stranger really scared me.

As we got into the car that first time, I was not surprised at what happened. Dad and I drove around, saying almost nothing, aside from a few instructions on how to turn. As my lessons went on, however, things began to change. Dad would turn the radio up so I could fully appreciate his favorite Stones music. And he actually began talking. I was soon hearing about past failed dates, "basic body" gym class, and other tales from his past, including some of his first meeting with Mom.

Dad’s sudden chattiness was shocking until I thought about why he was telling me so much in the car. In all the years that I had wondered why my father never spoke that much, I had never stopped to consider that it was because I had never bothered to listen. Homework, friends, and even TV had all called me away from him, and, consequently, I never thought my quiet father had anything to say.

Since I began driving with him, my driving skill has greatly increased. More important, though, is that my knowledge of who my father is has also increased. Just living with him wasn't enough—it took driving with him for me to get to know someone who was a mystery.

1.The author couldn't practice driving with her mother because　　　　　　　　 .

A. she couldn't talk with her mother

B. her mother made her nervous

C. her father wanted to teach her

D. she didn't trust her mother

2.At first, the idea of learning driving from her father made her　　　　　　　　 .

A. happy　　　　　 　 B. disappointed

C. satisfied　　　　 D. uneasy

3.What surprised the author when the driving lessons went on?

A. Her Dad was a chatty person.

B. Her Dad was the best teacher.

C. Her Dad liked modern music.

D. Her Dad told her his sad stories.

4.With her story "Car Talk", the author indicates that　　　　　　　　 .

A. fathers love their daughters dearly

B. family members need real communication

C. mothers are less patient than fathers

D. it takes time to improve the father-daughter relationship
