There once was an old man aged 50．who had a lazy son aged 30. The son couldn’t earn his own living(謀生), and still lived on his old father for food and clothing.
The old man was very worried about him. So he took him to the fortune teller(算命先生)to have his fortune told．The father and son both believed what the fortune teller said —the father would live to 80 and the son to 62.
After they found out how long they were going to live, the son was very sad. His father comforted(安慰)him, “Don’t be so sad! You are only 30 now, and still have 32 years of good days ahead of you.”
“I’m not worrying about my own age. It’s your age which causes me great worry,” the son said.
The father was greatly moved and said, “Don’t worry about me so much. I’ve got 30 years ahead of me too．”
“I’m not worried about your age either,” said the son. “I have found out that you’11 die two years earlier than I. So who will I depend on in the two years after your death?”
小題1:The old man had a son ______.
A．thirty years younger than him。
B．who earned a lot of money
C．who lived on him for food and clothing
D．who died two years earlier than him
小題2:The underlined words “ahead of’” in paragraph 5 mean “______”.

A．he liked his father very much
B．he would have no money to buy food and clothing if his father died
C．his father was getting older and older
D．His father would get less and less money

小題1:C
小題2:C
小題3:A
小題4:B

小題1:本文第一行最后和第二行有一句The son couldn’t earn his own living(謀生), and still lived on his old father for food and clothing.意思為老人的兒子不能靠自己謀生，仍然依靠他年老的父親給他提供食物和衣服，故本題選C。
小題2:本文第五段老人所說的話表示的含義是，根據(jù)算命先生所說的話，我能活到80歲，那么在我前面還有30年可活，故ahead of表示在……前面的意思，與in front of近義，故本題選C。
小題3:老人感動(dòng)的一句是第四段兒子所說的一句話“I’m not worrying about my own age. It’s your age which causes me great worry,”意思為兒子不擔(dān)心自己的年齡，是父親你的年齡給我?guī)頁(yè)?dān)心。父親認(rèn)為這句話是兒子對(duì)他的擔(dān)心，故本題選A。
小題4:本文最后一段為兒子所說的話，含義為，我并不是擔(dān)心父親你的年齡，擔(dān)心的是你比我早死二年，在你死過之后我將依靠誰(shuí)而生存，所以兒子擔(dān)心的是父親死過之后，自己沒有錢買食物和衣服，故本題選B。
