Question

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, 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 a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved 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 talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) 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 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.

試題分析：本文敘述了作者在小的時候由于父親的嚴厲苛刻，心里記恨父親，父親在搬了新家幾年后作者去看望父親，發現他與以前大不一樣了，變得和藹可親，不再讓作者感到緊張了，最后兩個人成了好朋友。

1.這是細節理解題。根據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. 可知作者小時候懷恨爸爸是因為對她很嚴厲、很苛刻，故選D。

2.這是推理判斷題。根據Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.可知每次和父親一起出去度周末，她都非常緊張，故選A。

3.這是推理判斷題。根據文中第三段和第四段的描述可知，作者的父親其實是溫和友善的，后來作者感到和父親成了朋友，故選C。

4.這是細節理解題。作者感到和父親成了新朋友，故選B。
