On Thursday night my two adult children took us out to dinner as our daughter lives in Bathurst and she will be there for Father’s Day with her husband’s side of the family. Two of our grandchildren were able to join us.
Having pre-celebrated my Father’s Day and it being on our minds, my wife asked this question only this morning:
“Do you remember anything about your father?”
While this subject had come up before, however, the question had not been put so bluntly(直率的). I answered “No. My only memory is of the few photos outside.” You see, my father died when I was only four years old.
Many people have lost their father early in life and it is easy to feel somewhat sorry for having to deal with such a situation, especially when the death has occurred when you are at an early age. On reflection, I think I do not remember anything because he passed away when he was a member of the Royal Australian Air Force. He was a Corporal(下士) doing land based duties, however, a medical condition took his life. It was 1942.
The 2nd World War was in full battle and Australia was being attacked. My Mum and I, with my younger brother, were living with my grandparents and I can only imagine the emotional circumstances that existed in the household at that time. Probably not something that would leave a memory.
What I would like to say at this time, as the question is often asked, “What did you learn from your father?” The thing I learnt from his passing, at the age of 28, is a love of life. What I do remember is growing up wondering if I would live to his age, and after I did, thinking each year the bonus(津贴) of life I had been blessed with when compared to my father.
I have sometimes felt disappointment in not knowing my father but life has moved on. However, can I say to those who do have fathers, celebrate today with him and return him all the love and happiness he has given to you.
1.Why did the author answered “No” in Para 4?
A. He didn’t want to talk about his father. B. His father died when he was very young.
C. He was much disappointed in his father. D. There was no photo of his father left.
2.What do we know about the author?
A. He is the only child of his parents. B. His father died of a medical condition.
C. He remembered quite a lot about his father. D. He lived with his parents during World War II.
3.The father’s passing makes the author____.
A. realize the love of his own life. B. hope to live longer than his father.
C. feel very disappointed all the time. D. want to get more bonus from life.
4.What is the author mainly talking about in this passage?
A. His father’s life. B. His Father’s Day.
C. His fatherless childhood. D. His father’s influence.

This past week, I took a huge step in my adult life. I flew on a plane and got to a new city that I had never been to all by myself.1..So it took a lot for me to be able to overcome my fear of flying on a plane alone.
In the months leading up to the trip, I was very nervous. I rarely travel long distances, and often avoid airplanes. However, I knew that I desperately wanted to go on this trip.2. My fears almost kept me from getting on the plane, but I knew I had to prove to myself that I was able to figure out things for myself and take my first huge step in becoming an adult.
On my drive to the airport, I did my best to keep calm and instill（逐步培养）enough confidence in myself to allow me to do this all by myself. 3.I went through security and made it to my gate, without getting lost. Then I got on my flight. I took my seat on the plane and tightly held my armrests (扶手)until we made it into the air. The whole flight, I just sat back and took some deep breaths until we finally landed. Now all I had to do was find my luggage and catch my ride. 4.
All in all, this trip has helped me to realize that I should be more confident about my abilities. I now know that I’m able to do whatever I set my mind to. 5.
A. Now I had to sit and wait to get on my flight.
B. I was wondering if everything would be fine.
C. I just need to have a little confidence in myself.

高一英语完形填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
Over the holidays, I took my three young children into a fancy chocolate shop to buy gifts. Halfway home, I noticed my 7-year-old son playing with a plastic noisemaker. Long story short: He had stolen the toy. I kept my cool -- even when he said, "but it was only $1.50, Mom!" --and explained why it was unacceptable to take things we didn't buy.
A few hours later, I marched my son back to the store with two dollars from his piggy bank. He walked embarrassedly to the counter and told the clerk that he had taken something without paying for it, that he was sorry to break it and that he would pay for it now.
I know exactly how terrible he was feeling. Returning to the scene of the crime is the same shame-causing punishment I received when I was five and stole something from a store. 1 remember my dad sending me back to return the item. It remains one of my clearest child－ hood memories. After that day, I never stole again. My dad taught me such an important lesson 30 years ago and I saw an opportunity to do the same for my son. But now I wonder if it was the fight thing to do.
"Returning to the store is absolutely the right thing to do," Laura Markham, Ph.D., a child psychologist and author of Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids, says. "Many children steal -- they' re not born knowing the rules so it' s our job to teach them."
And stay calm when you set them. "If you overreact or yell, you might create a fascination with the behavior and a willful child will be more likely to fight against you," she says. Having a child physically return the stolen item helps him or her grasp the situation -- and the consequence.
But don't talk about it for too long. "lf you continuously bring up the incident, the child will believe they' re a thief and that they' re bad," she says.
Only time will tell if this experience will have the same powerful effect on my son as it had on me, but at the same time I can rest if I haven' t dealt with the situation badly.
1.When the author' s son was caught playing with a stolen toy, he________.
A. responded calmly
B. felt very ashamed
C. didn't think it was a big deal
D. didn't admit stealing the toy
2.The author punished her son like that because __________.
A. her father asked her to do so
B. it had been popular for 30 years
C. she knew it was the right thing to do
D. the same punishment had worked on her
3.According to Laura Markham, if parents shout at their kids' stealing behavior, the kids may _______.
A. feel frightened
B. steal again
C. think they are bad
D. remember what happened clearly
4.What does the author think of Laura Markham' s words?
A. They are doubtful.
B. They are unacceptable.
C. They help her to stop feeling worried.
D. They have taught her a good lesson.
