24、"BANG!" the door caused a big noise. It was just standing there, with Father standing on one side, and I on the other side.

We were both in great anger. "Never set foot in this house again!" stormed Father. With tears in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.

The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. I walked aimlessly.

A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.

But now... I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always puts his opinions and rules of behaviour on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never allows it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.

I walked in the streets, without a place in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.

I thought to myself: "Is Father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?"

In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, Dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I can't stand his words: "I can't throw you away, let alone these old papers?"

All the lights were off except Father's.

Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any pity or any moments of feeling sorry. After an argument he has the habit of appearing silently in my sleep and then helping me under the covers.

This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.

The light was still on. "Am I wrong?" I whispered, maybe... With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door , tears ran down my face. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist (存在) at all. Love---is second to none.

【1】Which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage?

a. I opened the door and entered the house.

b. Sadly I ran out into the street.

c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.

d. I thought of my father's kindness towards me.

e. I walked about in the street without any aim.

A. b-e-d-c-a B. b-e-c-d-a

C. b-e-a-c-d   D. b-e-c-a-d

【2】What made the writer think of his childhood?

A. The sight of the street lights.

B. The sight of the empty street.

C. The sight of a father with a child in his arms.

D. The sight of light in his own house.

B. The father is actually kind to his son.

26、John and Nancy were so excited, because their parents promised them a trip to Disneyland if they do well in school , so the kids were studying hard for their finals. They didn’t know that their father had the plane tickets and booked the hotel already.

After weeks of preparing for their tests, John and Nancy passed their tests. They were on their way to the airport to catch the early flight to Orlando.

As soon as the plane took off, Nancy started to complain about getting an earache caused by the pressure change（气压变化）, while John was so busy watching out the window, and telling his mom how the cars on the highway looked so tiny from the plane. About a half hour later, they were both sound asleep. They slept throughout the flight, and woke up only when their mother told them that the plane was about to land.

Once they landed, John asked, “Are we going to Disneyland now, Dad?”

“No, not now, John, we’ll go tomorrow,” the father replied.

“But why not now, Dad?” Nancy asked.

“Because we have to check into the hotel first, and then go to get something to eat, and by then, it’ll be too late to go to the parks,” her mother said instead.

The next morning, John got up at six am and woke everyone up. “Get up, everyone! We have to go. We don’t want to be late,” he shouted.

So all of them woke up, took their showers, had their breakfast at a nearby restaurant, and went to Disney. John and Nancy loved all the fun rides in the park and got to have lunch with Mickey.
