Passage 1
Usually, fathers are not good at talking about love with their children. My father was like that. I never heard the words “I love you” from my father when I was a child. It was difficult for him to say those words. I never said those words to him, either.
A few years ago, I decided to change it. After thinking for a long time, I called my father on the phone and said, “Dad, I love you.” There was a moment of silence (沉默) at the other end of the line—maybe he was thinking about what to say. “Well, the same to you,” he said happily.
“Dad, I know you love me. When you are ready, you will say it too,” I said. Moments later, my mother called me and said that she was glad to hear us talking so openly.
A week later, Dad called me. He ended our talking on the phone with the words, “Son, I love you.” I was at work at that time. Tears came to my eyes when I heard the love. I always remember the special moment. We’re much closer now.
1.Was it easy for the writer’s father to say “I love you”?
2.What did the writer do to change the relationship with his father?
3.Why was there a moment of silence at the other end of the line?
4.What did the writer’s mother say when she called the writer?
5.How did the writer feel when he heard “I love you” from his father?
6.Do you say “I love you” to your parents? What else can we do to show love to our family members?
Passage 2
Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题)
Everybody in our town knows Grandma’s cooking. My mum tells me that she puts something special in her dishes. I think that’s why her food is so delicious. So, when Grandma asked me to help with the tomato soup on Friday, I was super-excited.
Grandma taught me how to cut onions. “You must do it slowly, Emma,” Grandma said. “Look at what you’re cutting. Enjoy the time when you cut the food.” I slowed down. But when I worked, I kept looking at Grandma. What was the secret ingredient? I wanted to find out.
After cutting, we started to pick the tomatoes. Grandma looked at each tomato carefully and chose the best ones. She even held one under my nose. “Smell it, Emma! There’s nothing like the smell of fresh tomatoes. We don’t cook to eat. We cook to cook. When you smell the tomatoes and watch the soup boiling, just enjoy it! That’s all the fun of cooking.”
I thought about Grandma’s words when I slowly stirred (搅拌) the soup. I watched Grandma all the time and she didn’t put anything special. But I knew what her secret ingredient was. Now I can make the soup by myself, just like Grandma did.

Passage 3
Grandma’s Secret Ingredient
Every Sunday, our family go to my grandmother’s house for dinner. Grandma always makes delicious food with her special tomato sauce. The wonderful smell fills her house. We eat, talk and laugh together. I’m so happy to be her grandson.
My grandmother says her sauce is a secret (秘密), so I watch her cook very carefully. I see her use tomatoes, garlic, and herbs. I write down everything in my notebook and make a recipe.
At home, I try to make the sauce with my mom. We follow the recipe exactly. But it never tastes quite right. I think maybe I miss a secret ingredient.
One day, as I’m cooking again, the smells in the kitchen remind (提醒) me of all those Sunday dinners—how Grandma sings while cooking, how my mother sets the table and how my father tells funny stories. Later, when I eat alone, I close my eyes and imagine (想象) my whole family around me, laughing and talking together. At that moment, the sauce tastes perfect, just like Grandma’s! I suddenly realize (意识到) that _________.
Now when I cook, I remember that cooking with love makes everything taste better.

Me: What’s your favourite time in life?

In my 60s and 70s, I loved spending time with my grandchildren and started to enjoy retirement (退休). Now at the age of 80, I look back and feel proud.

Passage 3
Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)
“Bang!” The door slammed shut loudly. My father and I stared at each other in anger. “Never step into this house again!” he shouted angrily. Tears filled my eyes, and I rushed out of the flat, running down the street.
I didn’t know if it was because I’d grown up or my dad was getting old. He always forced his opinions on me. We were like people from two different worlds, with an unopenable “heavy door” between us. On this hot summer night, my heart felt icy cold.
I walked aimlessly, and few people were on the street. When I finally returned to the building, I saw the living room light was still on—all others were off. I stopped at the door, his rude words ringing in my ears again. He’d been a leader for years, used to telling others what to do. Even after shouting at me, he never said sorry.
Trembling, I took out the key and opened the door quietly. Surprisingly, Dad sat alone at the dining table, head down in deep thought, looking older than usual. When he saw me, he looked up, his eyes full of relief (宽慰) and a little embarrassment. I burst into tears and said in a low voice, “Dad, I’m sorry.”
To my surprise, Dad apologized too. He said he’d made my favorite dishes, still warm. I threw myself into his arms, crying. At that moment, I realized the “heavy door” was fully opened—what we needed was ________ and ________.
Under the warm light, we talked softly. The summer night’s cold and the distance between us went away completely.
1.The story happened on a cold summer night, didn’t it?
2.Why did the writer stop at the door when he came back?
3.How did the writer feel when he saw his father sitting at the dining table?

Passage 4
根据短文内容回答下列问题。
One day, while father was working in his study, his son came in...
Son: Papa, may I ask you a question?
Father: Sure.
Son: Papa, how much money do you make an hour?
Father (got upset a bit): Why do you ask such thing?
Son: 1 just want to know. Please tell me.
Father: I make 200 yuan per hour.
Son (with his head down): OH..! (looking up. Papa, can I borrow 150 yuan?
Father: If the only reason why you asked me this was just to borrow some money to buy some silly toys, please go to your room and think why you just think about your own. I work hard every day to earn this money.
Following his father’s order, son quietly went to his room and closed the door. Father sat down and was getting even more angry about the question son asked him.
After an hour or so, father calmed down and started to think, “Did I hurt my son? Maybe he really needed that money for something important because he never asked for money very often. I need to comfort (安慰) him.”
So, father went to his son’s room and opened the door. He came near to the bed and asked...
Father: Are you asleep, son?
Son: No, papa.
Father: I have been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you at that time. It’s a long tiring day and because of that I got angry on you. Here is the money you asked for.
Son (sat straight smiling): Oh, thank you, Papa.
Then, reaching under his pillow (枕头) he took out some notes. Father, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.
Father: Why do you want money if you already had some?
Son: Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do. Papa, I have 200 yuan now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.
Father held Son tightly in his arms, with tears in his eyes.
1.What was Father doing when Son asked him a question?
2.Why did Son ask how much money his father makes an hour?
3.Did Son need any money to buy some toys?
4.How did Father comfort his son? Please list two ways.
5.Why did Father start to get angry again after he gave Son the money?
6.What will Father do since then? Why?

I walked aimlessly, and few people were on the street. When I finally returned to the building, I saw the living room light was still on—all others were off. I stopped at the door, his rude words ringing in my ears again. He’d been a leader for years, used to telling others what to do. Even after shouting at me, he never said sorry.
Trembling, I took out the key and opened the door quietly. Surprisingly, Dad sat alone at the dining table, head down in deep thought, looking older than usual. When he saw me, he looked up, his eyes full of relief (宽慰) and a little embarrassment. I burst into tears and said in a low voice, “Dad, I’m sorry.”
To my surprise, Dad apologized too. He said he’d made my favorite dishes, still warm. I threw myself into his arms, crying. At that moment, I realized the “heavy door” was fully opened—what we needed was ________ and ________.
Under the warm light, we talked softly. The summer night’s cold and the distance between us went away completely.

Following his father’s order, son quietly went to his room and closed the door. Father sat down and was getting even more angry about the question son asked him.
After an hour or so, father calmed down and started to think, “Did I hurt my son? Maybe he really needed that money for something important because he never asked for money very often. I need to comfort (安慰) him.”

Son: Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do. Papa, I have 200 yuan now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.
