30、was never really there for him, and hes determined to provide me with the support he lacked. During my youth he never missed a school play or softball game. In fact, he was so supportive that I sometimes longed for one of those dads who dressed better and cared less. But my dad would forever be the

31、guy wearing shorts with dress shoes and black socks, cheering me on, expecting greatness. His other standard questionHows the car? - used to strike me as a waste of long-distance dollars from a man who once suggested making a list of what you want to talk about before calling someone out of state. W

32、hat I now realize is that “Hows the car?” is not about the car. Its a fathers way of asking his adult daughter how she is doing. The advantage is that if theres something wrong with the car, he knows what to do about it and how much it will cost, whereas if youre having problems about marriage or do

33、ubting a career choice, he might have to act Mom on the line. At age thirty I finally took the plunge(跳进) into adulthood by renting a car without my dads help or advice. Im sure my dad was hurt rather than proud. Though a daughters independence is evidence of a job well done, it still implies the jo

34、bs done, and many fathers are unwilling to retire. Even when my dad was overworked, hed happily jump on a plane if I said I needed help. His frequent question “Is there anything I can do for you?” underlines the fact that he wishes there was still something he could provide. Its interesting: Even th

35、ough were tied by blood and I love him no matter what, he still seems to need a concrete function - suggesting stocks, finding the cheapest plane fare - to feel he has a role in my life. 51.     In the authors opinion, her father always attended her school plays or softball games

36、 to_.A. satisfy any demand she made to him B. show his interest and watch them for funC. make up what he was previously short of D. expect his daughter would be great in games52.     The author has learned that by asking “How is the car?”, her father is actually_.A. reminding her

37、 not to waste money B. asking how his daughter is getting along C. expressing his concern for her daughters safety D. asking his daughter if the car breaks down or not53.     According to the author, her father, like many other fathers, is unwilling to retire probably because_.A.

38、 he wants to continue to earn moneyB. he is doubtful of childrens independenceC. he wont put an end to caring for his childrenD. he is afraid of losing connection with children54.     We can safely draw a conclusion from the story that in the authors eye her father_.A. has a stro

39、ng passion for his workB. has the deepest love for his childrenC. has great interest in his daughters carD. has too much control over his childrenBAt the age of 11, Peter Lynch started caddying(当球童) at Brae Burn Country Club in Newton, Mass. “It was better than a newspaper carrier, and much more pro

40、fitable,” the Fidelity vice chairman recalls. He kept it up during the summers for almost a decade. “You get to know the course and can give the golf players advice about how to approach various holes,” he says. “Where else, at age 15 or 16, can you serve as a trusted adviser to high-powered people?

41、”One of those people was George Sullivan, then president of Fidelitys funds, who was so impressed with Lynchs smarts that he hired him in 1966. “There were about 75 applicants for 3 job openings,” Lynch says now. “But I was the only one who had caddied for the president for 10 years.”In between cadd

42、ying and managing money, Lynch went to Boston College on a scholarship from a program called the Francis Ouimet Fund. Named after the 1913 winner of the U.S. Open, the fund launched in 1949 which is open to Massachusetts kids only. Ouimet executive director Robert Donovan says, “Help with college is

43、 a logical extension of friendly relation between golfers and their favorite caddies, because there is a close tie to train up them to be excellent that happens between the players and the kids who carry their golf poles. And for the teens, caddying is all about being a

44、round successful role models.”It is obvious that caddies who are finally successful include all kinds of outstanding personnel, from actor Bill Murray, to New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, to former GE chairman and CEO Jack Welch.Of course, the great number of financial giants who caddied in

45、 their youth might be coincidence, but Dick Connolly thinks not. “Caddying life teaches you a lot about business, and about life,” he says. “You learn to show up early and look people in the eye when you shake their hand, and you learn how to read people - including whos likely to cheat and who isnt

46、.” Connolly is a longtime investment advisor at Morgan Stanleys Boston office, a former Ouimet scholarship student and, along with Peter Lynch and Roger Altman, one of the programs biggest supporters. He wants to share the most important lesson he learned on the links, so he says: “One golfer I cadd

47、ied for told me that if you want to succeed in any field - golf or business - you have to spend a lot of lonely hours, either practicing or working, when youd rather be partying with your friends. Thats true, and it stuck with me.”  55.     Which of the following may Peter L

Rowling set childrens imaginations on fire. Can the creator of Harry Potter do the same for a grown-up audience? The British

52、author will find out on September 27, when more than 2 million hardcover(精装书) copies of her first novel for adults hit bookstores in the UK and the US, along with the digital edition. Set in a little English town, The Casual Vacancy is about an election held after an unexpected death. Michael Pietsc

53、h, Rowlings US publisher, says the novel reminded him of Dickens “because of the humanity, the humor, the social concerns, the intensely real characters”. No magic though, apparently: “This book isnt Harry Potter”, says Pietsch. “It is a completely different concern”. As with Harry Potter, there are

54、 no advance copies for the media, no early reviews. To date, the seven-book series has sold more than 450 million copies worldwide, and it became one of the most successful movie franchises in July 21, 2007. Back then, fans could buy books at midnight parties hosted by bookstores. But recent years h

The Harry Potter series just became availa

For Rowling fans who once queued up for Harry Potter, this means that instant satisfaction is now only a click away.Moving from childrens books to adult lite

57、rature is a big transition. Will Rowlings new book be successful? Arthur Levine, the US co-editor of the Harry Potter books, seems confident: “If you read or re-read the Harry Potter books, you can see that Rowling has all the strengths she needs for great success as a fiction writer you have great

58、characters, an involving plot, a sense of humor and great empathy”. 59.     In Paragraph 2, what Michael Pietsch says means that_. A. Dickens works are too impressive to forget.B. J.K. Rowling has all the strengths of Dickens.C. The new book is similar to Dickens works in some way.D. The n
