He worked hard and would stay out 38 he caught enough to feed the family.” “He was a big man, and was 39 from pulling the nets and fighting the seas. When you got close to him, he smelled like the 40 . No matter how much my mother 41 his clothes, they would 42 smell of fish.” “Every day he drove me to school. When the old truck rattled (嘎嘎作响) down the road, I would shrink down into the seat hoping to 43 . When we reached school, he would give me a kiss on the cheek and 44 me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. I was 45 twelve years old!” “I 46 the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When he started to lean toward me, I put my hand up and said, ‘No, Dad.’ It was the first time I had ever talked to him in that 47 , and he had this 48 look on his face. I said, ‘Dad, I’m too old for a goodbye kiss.’ My dad looked at me and his eyes were filled with tears. I had never seen him 49 . ‘You’re right,’ he said. ‘You are a big boy...a man. I won’t 50 you any more.’” 51 began to well up in Frank’s eyes, “It wasn’t long after that when my dad went to sea and never came back. 52 of the boats stayed in that day because of a coming storm, but not dad. He had a big family to 53 .” “Guys, you don’t know what I would like is to have my dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek, to feel his 54 old face, to smell the ocean on him. I wish I had been a man then. 55 I had been a man, I would never have told my dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss.” 小题1: A．hated B．loved C．owned D．sold 小题2: A．hard B．enjoyable C．easy D．comfortable 小题3: A．before B．after C．until D．unless 小题4: A．thin B．fat C．weak D．strong 小题5: A．ocean B．land C．sky D．animals 小题6: A．made B．washed C．changed D．bought 小题7: A．never B．seldom C．still D．ever 小题8: A．survive B．disappear C．succeed D．appear 小题9: A．force B．advise C．order D．tell 小题10: A．sometimes B．once C．already D．only 小题11: A．remember B．forget C．recognize D．forecast 小题12: A．voice B．way C．case D．attitude 小题13: A．tired B．surprised C．worried D．annoyed 小题14: A．smile B．sing C．sigh D．cry 小题15: A．kiss B．cheat C．punish D．beat 小题16: A．Fear B．Tears C．Blood D．Anger 小题17: A．Both B．None C．Most D．Few 小题18: A．blame B．hold C．rescue D．feed 小题19: A．smooth B．dirty C．rough D．clean 小题20: A．If B．When C．Whether D．Where
