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 As 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 fathers friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my sons funny facial expressions. Gone was my fathers critical(挑剔的）air and rules. Who was the 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, Im at last seeing another side of my father, and Im delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.21 .Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult? A He was silent most of time. B He was too proud of himself. C He did not love his children. D He expected too much of her.22. When the author went out with her father on weekends, she would feel _. A nervous B sorry C tired D safe23. What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson? A. More critical. B More talkative. C. Gentle and friendly. D Strict and hard-working.24 The underlined words my new friend in the last paragraph refer to _. A.the authors son B the authors father C. the friend of the authors father D the cafe owner.B If you look for a book for a present for a child, you will be spoiled for choice even in a year when there is no new Harry Potter. JK. Rowlings wizard is not alone: the past decade has been a harvest for good childrens books, which has set off a large quantity of films and in turn led to increased sales of classics such as The Lord of The Rings. Yet despite that, reading is increasing unpopular among children. According to statistics, in 1997, 23said they didnt like reading at all. In 2003, 35%did. And around 6 of children leave primary school each year unable to read properly. Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability of computer games. Maybe the books boom has affected only on the top of the educational pile. Either way, Chancellor Cordon Brown plans to change things for the bottom of the class. In his pre-budge report, he announced the national project of Reading Recovery to help the children struggling most. Reading Recovery is aimed at six-year-old, who receive four months of individual daily half-hour classes with a specially trained teacher. An evaluation earlier this year reported that children on the scheme made 20 months progress in just one year, whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months progress, and so ended the year even further below the level expected for their age. International research tends to find that when British children leave primary school they read well, but read less often for fun than those elsewhere. Reading for fun matters because children who are keen on reading can expect lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator of future educational success. According to the OECD, being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage.25 Which of the following is True of paragraph1?A Many childrens books have been adapted from films.B Many high-quality childrens books have been published.C The sales of classics have led to the popularity of films.D The sales of presents for children have increased.26 Statistics suggested that _.A the number of top students increased with the use of computersB a decreasing number of children showed interest in reading.C a minority of primary school children read properlyD a large percentage of children read regularly.27 What do we know about Reading Recovery?A An evaluation of it will be made sometime this year.B Weak readers on the project were the most hardworking.C It aims to train special teachers to help children with reading.D Children on the project showed noticeable progress in reading.28.Reading for fun is important because book-loving children _.A take greater advantage of the project B show the potential to enjoy a long life.C are likely to succeed in their education. D would make excellent future researchers.CDos and Dons in Whale Watching The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has developed guidelines for whale watching in John-stone Strait, where killer whales are found in a daily basis each summer. It is strongly recommended that vessel(船只）operators follow these guidelines for all kinds of whales. Approach whales from the side, not from the front or the back. Approach no closer than 100 meters, then stop the boat but keep the engine on. Keep noise levels down- no horns, whistles or racing of engines. Start your boat only after the whales are more than 100 meters from your vessel. Leave the area slowly, gradually moving faster when you are more than 300 meters from the whales. Approach and leave slowly, avoiding sudden changes in speed or direction. Avoiding disturbing groups of resting whales. Keep at low speeds and remain in the same direction if traveling side by side with whales. When whales are traveling close to shore, avoiding crowding them near the shore or coming between the whales and the shore. Limit the time spent with any group of whales to less than 30 minutes at a time when within 100 to 200 meters of whales. If there is more than one vessel at the same observation spot, be sure to avoid any boat position that would result in surrounding the whales. Work together by communicating with other vessels, and make sure that all operators are aware of the whale watching guidelines.29.For whom is this text written?
