My father never wanted his children to know what he did for a living．Dad worked in Plant C．Lying beside lake Erie, it saw him in at sunrise and out at nightfall．Sometimes my mother would take my siblings （兄弟姐妹） and me to the public beach in our hometown of Ashtabula． she"d gather us round and point to the smokestacks, coughing clouds into the sky．
"Wave to daddy!" she"d shout. Four little hands would shoot into the air．I never knew what Dad did in Plant C, but during 34 years of hard work, he had surgery （手术） on his shoulder and hand．At 48, he had his first heart attack．He retired in 1993, right after the last kid graduated from college．But the damage was done．A few years later, the next heart attack killed him．
I saw my dad in Plant C only once, when I took dinner to him．That night, I looked at my father, covered in sweat and coal, and for the first time I knew why he was so often angry for no reason．
Recently my father" s friend, Toby Workman, walked me there．I knew my father never wanted me to see it．At every station, he described the job and the danger．It was like listening to a foreign language．I walked past many DANGER signs．Toby put his hand on my shoulder．"look," he said, "you need to understand something．Your dad was a maintenance mechanic．He worked the most dangerous job．If something broke, he fixed it．"
A few days later, my daughter graduated from college．I gave her the hard hat Toby handed to me as I left, and this notes: " Whenever you feel something difficult, put this on, look in the mirror, and remember your roots．"

试题分析：文章回忆了作者的父亲为了养家糊口，积劳成疾，最后死于心脏病的故事，从中我们可以总结出一个道理：勇敢面对困难，不要屈服。
小题1:推理题。根据第二段第一句Wave to daddy!" she"d shout. Four little hands would shoot into the air．说中的4个小手明连我在内一共有4个孩子，那么我最有可能有3个兄弟姐妹。故A正确。
小题2:推理题。根据第三段2,3行That night, I looked at my father, covered in sweat and coal, and for the first time I knew why he was so often angry for no reason．可知父亲工作的时候，浑身大汗。那么应该是从事于体力活动。故D正确。
小题3:推理题。根据第四段第2行At every station, he described the job and the danger．It was like listening to a foreign language．可知当父亲向我解释他的工作和所遇见的危险的时候，这些问题对我就像是外语。说明我不能理解父亲。故B正确。
小题4:推理题。根据文章最后两行I gave her the hard hat Toby handed to me as I left, and this notes: " Whenever you feel something difficult, put this on, look in the mirror, and remember your roots．"说明我想用hat来鼓励我的女儿勇敢面对困难，不要屈服。故C正确。
