1.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.
