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

父亲在点滴中渗透着他对我们的爱。跟很多人一样，多年后作者才意识到，父爱无边.

1. F后一句谈及乐队曾在哪些场合演奏。

2. C前一句谈及酗酒骂街，所以这就是他想摆脱这种环境的原因。

3. B 父亲弹奏，我们学歌词，跟着他一起唱。

4. G前一句说，"节目一完，他就会拿出曼陀林琴演奏"，所以我永远在纳闷：他为何能仅仅听几遍乐曲就演奏得非常好。

5. D前面说："如果他能把快乐奉献给别人，他从不吝啬，尤其是对他的家人。他总是那样，牺牲自己的时间和精力让家人生活得幸福。" 这一点只是在"我"成熟独立并有了自己的孩子后才体会得到
