He would not allow me to pay someone to have it done. All he asked for was a glass of iced tea and for me to hold a paint brush for him and talk to him. But I was too busy.Five years ago, at age 71, my father spent five hours putting together a swingset (秋千组) for my daughter. Again, all he asked was that I get him a glass of iced tea and talk to him. But again, I was -too busy.Four years ago, my father drove all the way from Denver to Topeka, with an eight-foot Colorado blue spruce (蓝叶云杉) in his trunk, so that my husband and I could have a part of Colorado growing on our land. I was preparing for a trip that weekend and couldnt spend much time with him.Then, one day, my father telephoned me as usual, this time from my sisters home in Florida. We talked about the tree he had brought me, Fat Albert，but that morning he called it Fat Oscar, and he seemed to have forgotten some things. I had to get to church, so I cut the conversation short.The call came at 4:44 p.m. that day: my father was in hospital in Florida with an aneurysm (动脉瘤). I got on a plane immediately, and on the way I thought of all the times I had not taken the time to talk to my father. I realized that I had no idea who he was or what his deepest thoughts were. I promised that when I arrived, I would make up for lost time.I arrived in Florida at 1 a.m. My father had passed away at 9:12 p. m.

But she was always turned down for looking too young and small.“Id never had such difficulties before,” Chang said. But Changs talent was finally accepted in 2002. When she got a piece of work, she cried.She soon became a star. Her first album Over the Rainbow sold very well. She won many awards.“You wouldnt believe such a beautiful voice could come from such a small body,”said one musician after hearing Chang sing. “She has a special voice. You cant forget it.”But the 25-year-old girl has other talents too. Chang is also an actress. She has played a role in the popular TV plays, My MVP Valentine and At Dolphin Bay. Many people remember her common-girl parts in the plays. But acting is difficult. Chang once acted so badly that she was nearly fired (解雇). Another time it took her 27 tries to get a scene (一场戏) right.“I cried when I got back home,” Chang said. “But I knew that I wouldnt always fail. You only fail when you give up.”Now with four albums behind her - Over the Rainbow, Aurora, Pandora and Flower in the Wonderland, its clear that Chang and music were made for each other. As she sings in one song, “I have a pair of invisible wings (隐形的翅膀). They fly me to the skies and give me hope.”（1）The phrase “turned down” in the first paragraph means “_”.A . 承认B . 拒绝C . 开除D . 雇用（2）Many record companies refused to co-operate (合作) with her because _.A . she looks very commonB . she is too youngC . she doesnt sing very wellD . she looks young and small（3）Although acting is difficult for her, she never gives up because _.A . she is strong-mindedB . people like her filmsC . she is interested in actingD . she acted in the popular TV plays（4）Which do you think is the best title of the passage?A .
