My father and I were very close. I loved pleasing him, and he was always proud of my success. If I won a spelling contest(竞赛) at school, he was on top of the world. Later in life whenever I got a promotion(提升), I"d call my father right away and he"d rush out to tell all his friends. In 1970,when I was named president of the Ford Motor Company, I don"t know which of us was more excited.
Like many native Italians, my parents were very open with their feelings and their loves not only at home, but also in public. Most of my friends would never hug(拥抱) their fathers. But I hugged and kissed my dad at every opportunity for nothing could have felt more natural.
He was a curious man who was always trying new things. He was the first person in Allentown to buy a motorcycle. Unfortunately, my father and his motorcycle didn"t get along too well. He fell off it so often that he got rid of it just a month after buying it. As a result, he never again trusted any vehicle with less than four wheels.
Because of that motorcycle, I wasn"t allowed to have a bicycle when I was growing up. Whenever I wanted to ride a bike, I had to borrow one from a friend. On the other hand, my father let me drive a car as soon as I turned sixteen.

A father with Parkinson’s disease was arrested as he watched the Olympic cycling road race because he failed to smile or look as if he was enjoying himself.
Mark Worsfold, a martial arts trainer and former soldier, claims that he was thrown to the floor and handcuffed just as cyclists passed by. His worried wife Nicola only found out he was being held after she reported him missing when he did not turn up for their daughter’s ninth birthday party. The 54-year-old man had his fingerprints, DNA and mugshot taken before being questioned about why he did not appear to be enjoying the event on July 28. Police said Mr. Worsfold, who was held for over five hours, was arrested because of his manner, his state of dress and his being too near to the course. A spokesman added that the arrest was necessary to avoid a breach (破坏) of the peace because he was standing near a group of protesters (抗议者).
But Mr. Worsfold, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2010, said that one of the symptoms of the disease is muscle rigidity, which can cause his face to become expressionless. “I was sitting minding my own business”, he told a local newspaper. “Before I knew anything the police grabbed me off this seven-foot wall, threw me to the floor and handcuffed me, so all I saw of the cycle race was between the feet of people from the pavement. It could have been done better. I was arrested for not smiling. I have Parkinson’s disease. ”
Mr. Worsfold has since asked for a letter of not being guilty from police. The officers who made the arrest have apologized to him.

小题3: What can we infer from the passage? | A．The officers must have been punished for Worsfold’ arrest. | | B．Worsfold has an expressionless face and probably looks strong. | | C．The officers apologized to Worsfold after one day’s arrest. | | D．Worsfold was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease four years ago. |

I first met Sean one summer day. He carried a bag 36 with four clubs(球杆) and some balls. He was a lot 37 than other kids of his age. I heard he was 38 from cancer. Still , he always seemed to be smiling whenever I would see him with his friends, trying to 39 as far as he did.
A year or so passed and I hadn’t 40 Sean .I had heard that his cancer was 41 him. Still, his friends said he was going to come here before long.
42 enough , he was there the following week. I 43 that one of his friends was carrying Sean’s bag. I saw Sean was having a(n) 44 time trying to drive the ball. Sean hit his last ball as hard as his fragile body would 45 .It flew up to the green and was out of sight. One of his friends 46 Sean walk up to the green. It was a(n) 47 walk because the green was higher than the tee(发球区).
Suddenly I saw one boy pick up Sean’s ball and 48 it in the hole. Then he ran and 49 to look for his own ball.
When Sean finally got to the green, he looked 50 because he thought he hit it over .
Then he glanced in the hole. A smile 51 his face! The boys looked at each other and said , “You can’t tell me it’s a hole-in-one!”
“No, really ! Look !” he said . They all acted 52 and as I watched , I thought Sean looked like the 53 guy I had ever seen. I never saw Sean or his friends after that day. 54 it was then that I learned just what golf should be .

Night after night, my mother came to my bed, even long after my childhood years. She would 21 down and push my long hair out of the way, and then kiss my forehead. I don’t remember when it first started 22 me-her hands pushing my hair that way, for they felt work-worn and rough 23 my young skin. Finally , one night, I shouted out at her, “Don’t do that any more-your hands are too rough!” she made no 24 and left quietly. But never again did my mother do it with that familiar expression of her 25 .
With the passing years, my 26 returned to that night time after time. By then I 27 my mother’s hands and her goodnight kiss. Sometimes the incident seemed very 28 , sometimes far away, but always it was 29 in the back of my mind.
The years have passed, and I’m not a little girl any more. Mom is in her seventies, and those hands I once 30 to be so rough are still doing things for me and my family.
Now, Mom no longer has Dad and lives 31 . One night on Thanksgiving Eve, I found myself 32 to her house to spend the night with her. As I slept in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand hesitantly ran across my face to 33 the hair from my forehead. Then a 34 , ever so gently , touched my forehead. I burst into tears.
In my memory, thousands of times, I 35 the night my young voice complained. Catching Mom’s hand in hand, I told her how 36 I was for that night. I thought she’d remember 37 I did. But Mom didn’t know what I was talking about. She had already forgotten and 38 long ago.
That night, I fell asleep with a new 39 for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was 40 to be found.
