My father and I disagreed about curfew (晚间在家的时间). He'd say I was to be in by 9：30 on weekdays, and 11：00 on weekends, no exceptions without my first asking. I told him it made me ____ like a junior­high kid. He explained that while a curfew ____ sound like a restriction, it's really about people looking out for one another. The very next Friday after that pretty heated ___， my dad and I had tickets to see our town's professional football game. On that day he was ____ to a nearby city to meet with some major clients and ____ me that his getting home and our leaving for the game would be tight. To make sure we could ____ off the moment he walked in, I got everything prepared. When a half hour had passed from the time he said he'd be home, I understood that he was a little ____. But then, nearly a whole hour passed. I was getting ____. We were going to miss the kick­off! And why hadn't he ____ me and let me know he was going to be really late? As I anxiously ____ the floor, another half hour passed. That's when I got really angry. How inconsiderate of my father! Now we were going to ____ the whole game! When yet another half hour passed, my anger turned to ____. What if something terrible had happened to my dad, like he had a heart attack or had been in an accident, or something? I began to really ____. I'd already called his cellphone about ten times, but no ____. I was beside myself, assuming the worst had happened. Finally, the phone rang, and my dad said ____， “Son, I'm so sorry about the game, but…there was a terrible accident…on the freeway coming home, and I ____ to help… and ended up going to the hospital. I ____ my cellphone in the car, so I couldn't call until now.” I was so relieved to hear from my father and to ____ that he was safe that I actually cried. That was ____ I “got” the importance of a curfew: Checking in! It's about knowing that someone you love is ____. It was one more proof of my father's loving me as much as he does. 小题1: A．go B．feel C．turn D．grow 小题2: A．might B．must C．needed D．should 小题3: A．speech B．match C．description D．exchange 小题4:． A．cycling B．driving C．flying D．walking 小题5: A．allowed B．advised C．informed D．ordered 小题6: A．pay B．hold C．cut D．move 小题7: A．late B．lazy C．forgetful D．careless 小题8: A．upset B．sorry C．rude D．puzzled 小题9: A．warned B．signalled C．phoned D．showed 小题10: A．hit B．paced C．cleared D．measured 小题11: A．play B．watch C．miss D．start 小题12: A．sadness B．surprise C．doubt D．fear 小题13:． A．envy B．worry C．regret D．cry 小题14: A．excuse B．way C．time D．answer 小题15: A．strangely B．casually C．breathlessly D．angrily 小题16: A．stopped B．forgot C．failed D．refused 小题17: A．left B．lost C．saw D．got 小题18: A．wonder B．guess C．expect D．learn 小题19: A．what B．when C．whether D．why 小题20: A．confident B．great C．safe D．honest
