Question

B

Dear Daddy ，

I just want to say Happy Father's Day and also Happy Birthday* since to?day is also your birthday.

I want to tell you something that I probably never told you before. First of all, I know you had always been the type of American father that didn't show lots of love. You were a little harder on your boys, then you were your girls. But in fact we know you always spoiled us girls.

I know that I didn't visit you as often as 1 should have and I didn't call you either, and for this I am truly sorry. I should have spent more time with you and we could have a good long talk, because I did truly enjoy the talks that we had. You were also one of those people that were always fun to be around and could always make us laugh. I enjoyed the time we spent together and al?though I probably never told you before, but I did appreciate everything you ever did for me.

Mum, my sister and I went to see you this morning and spent some time with you. We couldn't let your birthday and Father's Day go by without pay?ing you a visit. We placed some flowers on your headstone(墓碑)and someone had left a flag on there as well. Probably it's one of my brothers. 1 kept think?ing about that February windy day back in 1992 when we laid you in the ground and how I just wanted to scream, "Don't put my daddy in the ground; it's dark down there.，，

Daddy, I hope that you are still smiling up in heaven the way I remember you when you were alive. I shall see you again soon. 1 will keep it. Happy Birthday and Happy Father's Day. I love you and always will.

Yours ， Jane

了女儿对父亲的思念之情。

5.  B推理判断题。文章第二段最后两句的意思是：你对男孩们总是更加严苛，之后就是你的女孩们。但实际上，我们都知道.你总是娇惯我们这些女孩们。根据"You were a little harder on your boys.""可知,you were your girls是you were a little harder on your girls的省略形式。这里的boys和girls分别指Jane的兄弟和姐妹。

6.    B推理判断题。根据文章第二段的"First of all, 1 know yen！…didn't show lots of love."及第三段的内容可知，父亲深爱着自己的孩子们。

7.    C推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的"在墓碑前放鲜花"，到Jane想起安葬父亲的那一天等情节的描述，我们可以感受到Jane非常思念她的父亲。
