I could see that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal(丑闻). I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn(厩)."I wouldn't leave her out in the cold!" he said. 　Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his.

He took me to a party at his friend’s house where they proceeded to argue for hours about Web design while I sat on a chair and stared at the ceiling, drunk and bored. I felt all this seemed like a game: a constant dance of reaching for me and pulling back, of closeness and distance, of real life and Internet make-believe.

He took out one thing at a time until he got down to his $20. With eyes full of tears, he asked if he could phone his mum to pick him up. When he got through, it appeared that even this was inconvenient for his mother.He bit hard on his lip to stop the tears and walked outside to wait on the bench in front of the shop. This Was all too much for the young assistant who had served him and she said, "I wish I could afford to pay for the rest of his things." One of the other girls said she had a few dollars. Then two others said they could help as well.These four young girls pooled their money and found that they had more than enough money for the boy’s extra purchases. So they upgraded his pens and pencils to top-quality ones, then took the bag out to the boy on the seat. His young face changed from sadness to the most beautiful smile.

17.Now, the past of only last year returned, and, strangely enough, this seemed farther removed from him than all the rest. He had been particularly strong, well, and happy this time last year. Nora was dismissed from his mind, and he had thrown all his energies into his work. His tastes were sane and simple, and his dingy, furnished rooms had become through habit very pleasant to him. In being his own, they were invested with a greater charm than another man's castle. Here he had smoked and studied, here he had made many a glorious voyage into the land of books. Many a homecoming, too, rose up before him out of the dark ungenial streets, to a clear blazing fire, a neatly laid cloth, an evening of ideal enjoyment; many a summer twilight when he mused at the open window, plunging his gaze deep into the recesses of his neighbour's lime-tree, where the unseen sparrows chattered with such unflagging gaiety.He had always been given to much daydreaming, and it was in the silence of his rooms of an evening that he turned his phantasmal adventures into stories for the magazines; here had come to him many an editorial refusal, but here, too, he had received the news of his first unexpected success. All his happiest memories were embalmed in those shabby, badly-furnished rooms.

19.Passage 5

Question 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Arizona.

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 I feared him and felt bitter about 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 did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed

over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical 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 never 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.

21.Which of the following is true about the author’s earliest memories of her

father?

选项： A:

A. He’s a tall and handsome man but not that successful in his career.

B:

B. He’s hardworking but not that successful.

C:

C. He’s devoted to his work but failed to be loyal to his family.

D:

D. He’s devoted to his work and family but he was unpleasant with his children.
