It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and I on the other side.    We were both in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!” stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.    The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. I wandered aimlessly.    A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.    But now … I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always puts his opinions and codes of behavior on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits it. We are jus t like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.     I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were no people in the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.    I thought to myself, “Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?”    In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I couldn’t stand his outrageous(蛮横的)words, “I can’t throw you away, let alone these old papers?”    All the lights were off except father’s.    Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret. After an argument he had the habit of creeping up in my sleep and then tucked me underneath the covers.    This was how he always was．He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.    The light was still on. “Am I wrong?” I whispered, maybe… With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been.  At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had thought between us did not exist at all. Love—it second to none. 46. Decide which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage.   a. I opened the door and entered t he house.   b. Sadly I ran out into the street.   c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.   d. I thought of my father’s kindness towards me.   e.

The sight of the street lights.       B. The sight of the empty street.    C. The sight of a father with a child in his arms.     D. The sight of light in his own house.48. Why do you think the father often shouts at his son?    A. perhaps the father is getting older and older. B. perhaps the son has already grown up.    C. perhaps they never agree with each other. D. perhaps the father has got used to doing that.49. According to the passage what does “Love—it’s second to none” mean ?     A. 爱是至高无上的        B. 爱是第二位的    C. 爱并没有什么           D. 爱就是没什么50.

I was very grateful and wanted to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the pers on who was responsible(尽责的，负责任的) for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor could help me get a good lawyer .Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.    But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same  time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time .The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215.    My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided(避免) seeing me at all. He knew ve ry well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I dismissed(解雇) him. And he made me pay him $770.     Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance(保险) company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time…and I left without getting a cent.51.
