For a casual onlooker, this might be a very sad sight. But for Andy, it39。s a real treasure. I39。ve been a junk hoarder (囤積者) for my whole life and I like fixing up what shouldn39。t be thrown away. Around 200 old cars end up in this junkyard every week. Some of them are sold for parts, others get repaired, and still others are beyond repair. His father Bobby started the business some 50 years ago and still spends every morning there. The father and son have very different approaches to their work. They got a Dean cab that was getting thrown away and that was the father39。s project, which Andy did not want him to do. He did basically the opposite of everything I told him and I think he did it just to make me mad. He dumped a ton of money into this car, but in the end it wouldn39。t run. Andy said jokingly. The unusual family business attracted the attention of a TV crew. That39。s how the show Janka Empire came to be featured on a network of the Discovery Channel. This show, five years of shooting, five seasons and 60 episodes (集), is popular. There are hundreds of junkyards throughout the United States. I think what39。s interesting is that it is a family business. My father and I started the business and we joke very well back and forth and I think that39。s what people like. The cars that end up at the junkyard e out with endless surprises. See, this was a junk car and we restored it with a blown motor. Yet I don39。t get a chance to ride around it too often. Because despite its shining appearance, the noise of the engine is truly deafening and I worry my neighbors will not put up with it.(1)What does Andy seem to like about his junkyard? A.It is very large.B.It may be a bad sight.C.It is amazing and valuable.D.It is his life dreamland.(2)What can we infer from the one Dean cab case? A.The father is ready to follow his son39。s advice.B.The son is impatient and fed up with his father.C.The father and son get on well with each other.D.1
