Why dont you fly out and meet me？”My father had just retired after 27 years as a manager for IBM. His job filled his day, his thoughts, his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru. While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.My father sees me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wants me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure.He agrees to travel with me through the national parks. We meet four weeks later in Rapid City.“Whats our first stop？” asks my father.“What time is it？”“Still dont have a watch？”Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore. As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite (花岗岩), his mouth and eyes open slowly, like those of a little boy.“Unbelievable，” he says. “How was this done？”A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14 years to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son.We stare up and I ask myself, Would I ever devote my life to anything?No directions, no goals. I always used to hear those words in my fathers voice. Now I hear them in my own.The next day were at Yellowstone National Park, where we have a picnic.“Did you ever travel with your dad？” I ask.“Only once，” he says. “I never spoke much with my father. We loved each otherbut never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave.”That_last_sentenceits_probably_the_same_thing_Id_say_about_my_father._And_what_Id_want_my_child_to_say_about_me.In Glacier National Park, my father says, “Ive never seen water so blue.” I have, in several places of the world. I can keep traveling, I realize and maybe a regular job wont be as dull as I feared.Weeks after our trip, I call my father.“The photos from the trip are wonderful，” he says. “Weve got to take another trip like that sometime.”I tell him Ive decided to settle down, and Im wearing a watch.8We can learn from Paragraphs 2 and 3 that the father _.A. followed the fashionB. got bored with his jobC. was unhappy with the authors lifestyleD. liked the authors collection of stamps9From the underlined paragraph, we can see that the author _.Awants his children to learn from their grandfatherBcomes to understand what parental love meansClearns how to communicate with his fatherDhopes to give whatever he can to his father10What could be inferred about the author and his father from the end of the story?A. The call solves their disagreements.B. The Swiss watch has drawn them closer.C. They decide to learn photography together.D. They begin to change their attitudes to life.11What could be the best title for the passage?A. Love Nature, Love LifeB. A Son Lost in AdventureC. A Journey with DadD. The Art of TravelDI wanted to buy something today until I figured out the cost versus the benefit. At that point I knew it was a completely stupid idea.What I wanted to buy was an older car to have in addition to my fouryearold Smart Car that absolutely like. So you wonder, if I like the Smart Car, why would I want to have another car as well? The reason is . grandkids.I have several and in the Smart Car I can only have one passenger (Its a twoseater). Besides, one of my daughtersinlaw does not trust the Smart Car as a vehicle for her daughter Lily to ride in, so thats one little girl I cant take anywhere at all. My husband also has a car and a truck but I have driven the truck only a couple of times in the many years weve had it and I have not driven his yearold car at all.So thats why I had the stupid idea to buy an old Toyota I found on the lot of an honest used car salesman. Thank heavens I came to my senses before I spent $8,000 to buy it，$80 or so to license it and probably $500 to insure it for a year. It would be senseless to buy that car.My grandkids just have to continue to come with me one by one. I cant take two girls out to lunch or two girls shopping or pick up the brother and sister that live in the same house. As for the little one thats not allowed to ride with me . well, Grandpa will have to pick her up. As for me, I didnt get money in my savings account by being totally stupid.Sure, doing things with the kids is fun, but spending that kind of money to put two or more of them in a groupwhich would probably drive me crazy anywayis really dumb. Sometimes temptation can prove that you still have a little sense.Whew! That was close.12Why did the author want to buy a car?A. Her Smart Car is in poor condition.B. She wanted to replace her Smart Car.C. Her daughterinlaw asked her to do so.D. The space in her Smart Car is limited.13The author gave up the idea of buying the Toyota because _.A. it was a used carB. she couldnt afford itC. there was no need for itD. the salesman was unreliable14The underlined word “dumb” in the last paragraph can best be replaced by _.A. difficultB. stupidC. reasonable Damazing15Which of the following proverbs best describes the text?A.

It seemed that they were lost. I went up to them and asked them that I could give them hand. They told me that they were looking at the Temple of Heaven, but didnt know how to get to there.
