It is believed in some ways that the daughter is father's lover. But my experience has taught me in a different way. For a long time, my father has been a very vague （模糊的）figure to me. He was a man of few words, tall but slim and nothing else.
When I was in primary school, my father was never there to pick me up, and he never came to any of my parent-teacher meetings. He was always busy doing projects. I remember when I was in middle school and my head was badly hurt in a PE class. During my operation, my father was nowhere to be found. This hurt me most. At that moment, I considered my Father as a cold-blooded man who did not care about me at all.
But things seemed different at my high school graduation ceremony, where I was chosen to represent my class and give a speech. My father, once again, told me he had a business trip in a place outside the city and would be unable to show up "Don't come. I will be my nervous if I see you.” I told him.
I remember my speech went smoothly. After the ceremony was over and I was about to leave, I suddenly noticed a familiar looking man sitting in a corner of the hall. It was my father！I was so surprised that I rushed to him with tears running down my face. "Well done," he said. His eyes were also filled with tears.
Later, I found out that my father had managed to finish his work by staying up late, and he drove for eight hours to get back. He had been sitting in the corner because he didn't want me to see him. My father remembered every word in my speech.
For much of my life, I described my father was a cold-blooded man who only cared about his work. But when I thought deeply about this, it was obviously（明显地）not true. At my graduation ceremony I could feel my father's deep love. The fact is that seeing is not believing, and seeing may not be the fact if we don't perceive（感知）the world with our hearts and minds. There's no doubt that life doesn't lack love, but sometimes our eyes have trouble seeing it.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
| A．The writer's father was in the hospital during her operation. |

| C．The writer's father sometimes picked her up when she was in primary school. |

| A．she gave a speech successfully |
| B．the graduation ceremony was over |
| C．she was so nervous that she couldn't help crying |
| D．she was touched to find her father cared about her |
What does the underlined word "this" in the last paragraph refer to（指代）？
| A．That my father was always doing projects. |
| B．That my father was a cold-blooded man. |
| C．That my father sat in the corner of the hall. |
| D．That my father's eyes were filled with tears. |
What's the best title of the passage?

| C．Seeing is not believing | D．A wonderful speech |
Something caught my eyes when I was walking down the street. Two silver coins were shining in a melting(溶化) snow bank, so I dug(挖) through the snow looking for more. Of course, I just ended up with really cold hands. I slipped the two coins into my pocket and went home, colder but richer. I began to think about how to spend the money...
Two days later, Mary and her little sister were searching the snow banks. "Finders are keepers" was my first thought. I didn't want to hand them out even though Susy was already crying. " I dropped them right here," she said between tears. Her hands were cold and red for digging in the snow. Maybe they slid down the street with the melting snow. Let's dig over here." Mary's voice sounded confident.
"They'll never know" was my second thought, and I walked past them. " Phil, have you seen
two sliver coins?" asked Mary. Susy looked up from digging. Her eyes were hopeful.
"Tell a lie" was my third thought. "As a matter of fact," I hesitated(犹豫)，“I dug two coins out of that snow bank just a few days ago. I wondered who might have lost them." Susy hugged me with a big smile, "Oh, thank you, thank you."How did Phil feel when he was going home?
| A．Unhappy. | B．Excited. |
| C．Nervous. | D．Confident. |
Which of the following is the right order of the things that happened?
a. Phil found two silver coins in the snow.
b. Susy dropped two silver coins.
c. Phil dug through the snow.
d. Susy kept digging in the snow for her lost coins.
| A．a-b-c-d | B．a-c-d-b |
| C．b-a-c-d | D．b-c-d-a |
What does the sentence" Her eyes were hopeful." in the 3rd paragraph suggest?
| A．Susy expected Phil to dig together. |
| B．Susy expected Phil to return the coins. |
| C．Susy hoped to dig out the lost coins. |
| D．Susy hoped to get some useful information. |
What might Phil do with the two coins in the end?
| A．He would give them back to Susy. |
| B．He would give them away. |
| C．He might keep them for himself. |
| D．He might give them to his parents. |
