22、   Once my father asked me to hold his hammer while he repaired something, so we could have some time to talk to each other. For 22 years, after I left home for college, he called me every Sunday at 9 a.m. He was always interested in my life and how my family was doing, and I never once heard him complain about his own life.

Nine years ago when I bought my first house, my father, 67 years old, spent eight hours a day painting it for three days. He would not allow me to pay someone to have it done. All he asked for was a glass of iced tea and for me to hold a paint brush for him and talk to him. But I was too busy. Five years ago, at age 71, my father spent five hours putting together a swing set (秋千组) for my daughter. Again, all he asked was that I get him a glass of iced tea and talk to him. But again, I was too busy.

Four years ago, my father drove all the way from Denver to Topeka, with an eight-foot Colorado blue spruce (蓝叶云杉) in his trunk, so that my husband and I could have a part of Colorado growing on our land. I was preparing for a trip that weekend and couldn’t spend much time with him.

Then, one day, my father telephoned me as usual, this time from my sister’s home in Florida. We talked about the tree he had brought me, “Fat Albert”, but that morning he called it “Fat Oscar”. How could he have such a poor memory! Things seemed to get worse for him, but I had to get to church and I cut the conversation short.

The call came at 4:40 p. m. that day, my father was in hospital in Florida with an aneurysm (动脉瘤). I got on a plane immediately, and on the way I thought of all the times I had not taken the time to talk to my father. I realized that I had no idea who he was or what his deepest thoughts were. I promised that when I arrived, I would make up for lost time.

I arrived in Florida at 1 a.m. My father had passed away at 9:12 p.m. This time it was he who did not have time to talk to me.

【1】How did the writer feel when she was rushing to the hospital where her father was staying?

A．Hopeless.

B．Sorry.

C．Frightened.

D．Disappointed.

【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The writer arrived in Florida before her father passed away.

B．The writer hasn’t found enough time to talk to her father for these nine years.

C．The writer noticed nothing unusual about her father’s health before he was put in the hospital.

D．The writer’s father brought them the Colorado blue spruce because it’s an expensive kind of tree.

【3】Which words best describe the writer’s father?

A．Honest.

B．Impatient.

C．Talkative.

D．Caring and thoughtful.

23、Everybody knows that words can carry messages. People communicate with words. Books, magazines, TVs, radios and films all help us to know what is going on in the world and what people are thinking about.

Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you put up your hand in class, the teacher knows that you want to say something or ask a question. You shake your head, and people know you are saying “No”. You nod and people know you are saying “Yes”.

Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the wall of your school helps you to find the library. Signs on doors tell you where to go in or out. Have you ever noticed there are a lot of signs around you and you receive messages from them all the time? People can communicate in many ways without words. For example, an artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, seas and many other things.

A．Ways for communication

B．The best way for communication

C．The only way for communication

D．Words can carry message
