    Thanksgiving time came and all the relatives were gathered around the long table, or seated behind TV trays．The television was on and some folks were watching it while visiting with one another．Something on television got their attention and one of the adults said, "Listen at it!" Someone else replied．"Well, if that don't beat all．"
    Simple phrases were spoken by folks whose language was simple and brief．They had several idioms that were just as colorful; Phrases and words that brightened the room and warmed the conversation．In school we were taught to speak differently．The way our relatives spoke was discouraged．Sometimes our parents would say things we weren't taught in school．They'd often correct themselves, as if getting rid of a mistake．Of course we learned some of their phrases and used them．They were comfortable words to pronounce, familiar．
    Our father's side of the family was from Arkansas and Oklahoma and they spoke with the accents native to their birth states．Their voices musical and often high , it was easy to pick up that effect in our own speech and at school my brother and I were often teased for the way we spoke．Our mother's side of the family came from Illinois and they had a tendency to talk fast．They had an accent, too, and my brother and I added that to our own speech, confusing the kids at school all the more．Our father's side of the family loved to laugh and have a good time．Our mother's side of the family was more serious about how they took life in; their joys more silently experienced and enjoyed．It was a rich picture of culture and it gave my brother and me a colorful view in life．

    I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill. It was 1994, but I can remember my mother's words as if it were yesterday: “Kerrel, I don't want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him.”
    AIDS wasn't something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My father's other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him.
    We couldn't afford all the necessary medication for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I had no money for school supplies and often couldn't even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teacher's words muffled as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage.
    I did not share my burden (负担) with anyone. I had seen how people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be cruel. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table even though he was too weak to feed himself.
    I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret, I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared. she saved my life.
    I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to anyone, even me. He didn't want to call attention to AIDS. I do.
    60. What does Kerrel tell us about her father?
    A. He had stayed in the hospital since he fell ill.
    B. He depended on the nurses in his final days.
    C. He worked hard to pay for his medication.
    D. He told no one about his disease.
    61. What can we learn from the underlined sentence?
    A. Kerrel couldn't understand her teacher.             
    B. Kerrel had special difficulty in hearing.
    C. Kerrel was too troubled to focus on the lesson.
    D. Kerrel was too tired to hear her teacher's words.
    62. Why did Kerrel keep her father's disease a secret?
    A. She was afraid of being looked down upon.             B. She thought it was shameful to have AIDS.
    C. She found no one willing to listen to her.          D. She wanted to obey her mother.
    63. Why did Kerrel write the passage?
    A. To tell people about the sufferings of her father.
    B. To show how little people knew about AIDS.
    C. To draw people's attention to AIDS.                 
    D. To remember her father.

    What am I doing with my daughter at home? Rather than read aloud from books, we
    go to dinner and have a very good time. This is usually when her Mom isn't around, and this is when my little girl and I relate better. They're alone together so much. We're seldom alone. When we're alone together, she and I somehow behave differently. We learn about each other. She learns that I'm her father. I learn that she's my daughter. It's a strange feeling, but any parent knows what I'm talking about when I say that I often look at my daughter and wonder just whose kid she is. Where'd she suddenly come from? And why on earth did she pick Laura and me for parents?
    When my daughter and I are alone she'll hold my hand and say, “I just love you so much, Daddy!” She's so used to my leaving that when I tell her she and I are going to hang out all night, she gets this great look on her face and says, “We've got so much to do, Dad!” There's nothing like it in the world.
    I want my relationship with my daughter to keep growing, so I've been giving my wife a couple of hundred dollars each week and making her go to the shopping center with her girlfriends, or something—anything!
    But this closeness is not without its problems. When I'm sitting there playing with her Barbie doll(巴比娃娃)， washing her hair, a voice in me suddenly says, “I've got to get a drink and get out of here.” Right in the middle of all this pleasantness, the voice goes, “Look at yourself! You're washing dolls!”
    1.Why does the husband give his wife so much money each week?
    A. He wants her to buy more things for the family. 
    B. She can do whatever she likes with the money. 
    C. He can spend more time with his daughter. 
    D. She can spend more time with her friends.   
    2. Which of the following statements is true?
    A. The father spends more time with the daughter than the mother does. 
    B.The daughter is happy when the father tells her he will be away.
    C.The father is happy, hearing “We've got so much to do, Dad!” 
    D.The father is sure that the daughter is not his own.   
    3.What does the last paragraph tell us about the father?
    A.He doesn't enjoy being with his daughter. 
    B.He doesn't like washing his daughter's hair. 
    C.He likes to enjoy himself by going out for a drink. 
    D.He has mixed feelings when he is with his daughter.
