Question

My father was a selftaught mandolin (曼陀林) player. He was one of the best string instrument players in our town. He could not read music,but if he heard a tune a few times,he could play it. 1       They would play at local dances and on a few occasions would play for the local radio station. He often told us how he had earned a position in a band that featured Patsy Cline as their lead singer. He told the family that after he was hired he never went back. Dad was a very religious man. There was a lot of drinking and cursing the day of his audition. 2       Dad would take out his mandolin and play for the family,occasionally. We three children would often sing along. Songs we sang including The Tennessee Waltz,Harbor Lights and Around Christmas Time,the wellknown rendition of Silver Bells. One of Dad's favorite hymns (圣歌) was The Old Rugged Cross. 3       And we would sing it with Dad when he would play and sing. Another song that was often shared in our house was a song that accompanied the Walt Disney series：Davey Crockett. Dad only had to hear the song twice before he learned it well enough to play it. King of the Wild Frontier was the favorite song for the family. He knew we enjoyed the song and the program. Then he would often take out the mandolin after the program was over. 4       I loved to sing,but I never learned how to play the mandolin. This is something I regret to this day.

Dad loved to play the mandolin for his family. He knew we enjoyed singing and hearing him play. I believe if he could give pleasure to others,he would,especially his family. He was always there,sacrificing his time and efforts to see that his family lived happily in their life. 5      

   A. We would like to listen and learn how to play the mandolin.

   B. We learned the words to the hymn when we were very young.

   C. He did not want to be around that type of environment.

   D. I had to mature into a man and have children of my own before I realized how much he had sacrificed.

   E. I did not realize what the love of a father was until Dad passed away.

   F. He was once a member of a small country music band.

   G. I could never get over how he could play the songs so well after only hearing them a few times.

1.         2.                  3.         4.       5.         

Answer 1

父親在點(diǎn)滴中滲透著他對(duì)我們的愛(ài)。跟很多人一樣，多年后作者才意識(shí)到，父愛(ài)無(wú)邊.

1. F后一句談及樂(lè)隊(duì)曾在哪些場(chǎng)合演奏。

2. C前一句談及酗酒罵街，所以這就是他想擺脫這種環(huán)境的原因。

3. B 父親彈奏，我們學(xué)歌詞，跟著他一起唱。

4. G前一句說(shuō)，"節(jié)目一完，他就會(huì)拿出曼陀林琴演奏"，所以我永遠(yuǎn)在納悶：他為何能僅僅聽(tīng)?zhēng)妆闃?lè)曲就演奏得非常好。

5. D前面說(shuō)："如果他能把快樂(lè)奉獻(xiàn)給別人，他從不吝嗇，尤其是對(duì)他的家人。他總是那樣，犧牲自己的時(shí)間和精力讓家人生活得幸福。" 這一點(diǎn)只是在"我"成熟獨(dú)立并有了自己的孩子后才體會(huì)得到
