10."Dad,"I say one day,"let's take a trip.Why don't you fly out and meet me?"My father had just retired after 27years as a manager for IBM.His job filled his day,his thought,his life.While he woke up and took a warm shower,I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru.While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch,I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.
My father sees me drifting aimlessly,nothing to show for my 33years but a passport full of funny stamps.He wants me to settle down,but now I want him to find an adventure.
He agrees to travel with me through the national parks.We meet four weeks later in Rapid City.
"What is our first stop?"asks my father.
"What time is it?"
"Still don't have a watch?"
Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore.As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite(花岗岩),his mouth and eyes open slowly,like those of a little boy.
"Unbelievable,"he says,"How was this done?"
A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14years to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son.
We stare up and I ask myself,"Would I ever devote my life to anything?"
No directions,no goals.I always used to hear those words in my father's voice.Now I hear them in my own.
The next day we're at Yellowstone National Park,where we have a picnic.
"Did you ever travel with your dad?"I ask.
"Only once,"he says."I never spoke much with my father.We loved each other-but never said it.Whatever he could give me,he gave."
The last sentence it's probably the same thing I'd say about my father.And what I'd want my child to say about me.
In Glacier National Park,my father says,"I've never seen water so blue."I have,in several places of the world.I can keep traveling,I realize-and maybe a regular job won't be as dull as I feared.
Weeks after our trip,I call my father.
"The photos from the trip are wonderful,"he says."We have got to take another trip like that sometime."
I tell him I've decided to settle down,and I'm wearing a watch.

解答 1-4 CDAB
1.C推理判断题.根据"My father sees me drifting aimlessly,nothing to show for my 33years but a passport full of funny stamps"可知父亲认为我的生活是没有目标的,出了一个贴满很多邮票的护照以外没有说明可以展示的,说明父亲对我的生活方式很不满意.故选C.
2.D推理判断题.根据"We stare up and I ask myself,"Would I ever devote my life to anything?"No directions,no goals.I always used to hear those words in my father's voice.Now I hear them in my own"可知,之前父亲说我的生活里没有指导没有目标,之前的我经常听父亲这样对我说.而现在我听见了自己的声音,说明我对之前以前的生活方式产生了怀疑,认为自己的漂泊并没有给自己留下有价值的东西,说明作者从此要为自己设立一个生活的目标了.故选D.
3.A推理判断题.根据""he says."We have got to take another trip like that sometime."I tell him I've decided to settle down,and I'm wearing a watch"可知,我不想再和以前一样没有目标的生活,说明我的想法也发生了变化.故选A.
4.B细节理解题.根据"I never spoke much with my father.We loved each other-but never said it.Whatever he could give me,he gave.""可以看出我从父母的话里慢慢理解了父母之爱的意义.故选B.
