It was late. My dad was waiting. I stared at the parking lot. Then I saw my dad39。s little red Honda. “Get in! Get in! Why are you so late all the time?” The ride home was not much more than five minutes but each minute moved slowly. We were stuck behind an old man. He wasn39。t going more than 15 kilometers an hour. My dad started to shout, “Learn how to drive, Grandpa!” He hit the steering wheel(方向盤) with his hands. He was really angry. “Dad, stop it. Why do you always…?” He cut me off, “I39。d not get stuck at the light without this fellow!” The old man got to the light just as it was changing. “You39。re free! Drive away quickly,” I thought. I looked over my dad. “Can you believe that, Steph? I get stuck at every light. There are so many stupid drivers out there, he said angrily. Who gives him the right to shout at someone? Anger built inside me. “What if I shouted at my friends when they asked me for help?” I said. I looked out of the window, trying to catch my breath. “You know, Steph, I think you are going to be a psychologist(心理學(xué)家),” he said. I remembered the last time I tried to say something, he had fumed, “Don39。t tell me how to drive! If I want your opinion, I39。ll ask for it! Think about what you say before you talk.” Usually, he39。d be angry that I would doubt his authority (權(quán)威), but this time, he accept what I had said. A sense of pride rose up in me. It had been a short drive, but it had been the best car ride of my life.(1)According to the passage, we could see the father was__________. A.impatient and badtemperedB.generous and kindheartedC.polite and easygoingD.rude and coldblooded(2)Why did Steph39。s dad drive slowly on the way home?

A.got angryB.got upsetC.got excitedD.got disappeared(5)Why did a sense of pride rise up in Steph? A.Because he had doubled his father39。s authority.B.Because his father accepted what he had said.C.Because he was going to be a psychologist.D.Because his father changed his decision this time.【答案】 (1)A(2)D(3)B(4)A(5)B 【解析】【分析】⑴推理判斷。impatient and badtempered不耐煩的,脾氣壞的;generous and kindhearted慷慨并好心的;polite and easygoing禮貌隨和的;rude and coldblooded粗魯冷血的。根據(jù)文章中描述父以及第二段He was really angry可知選A。⑵細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段We were stuck behind an old man.
