Question

 We arrived at the hospital to find Dad exhausted and weak,but his smile was as sure as ev?er. My husband and I stayed with him for the weekend but had to return to our 1 by Mon?day morning. Local relatives would 2 that Dad got home from the hospital and look in on him regularly and prepare his meals. 3 would make sure he got his daily 4 and take him to his doctor appointments. But I wanted to let him know that we 5 too,even when we weren't with him.

  Then I remembered a family 6 I started when our children were small. When 7 ,their grandparents' home after a visit, each child would 8 a love note in the house for their grandfather or grandmother to find after we were gone. For several days after our 9   ，their grandparents would smile as they 10 these reminders of our love.

  So as I tidied Dad's kitchen and made up a 11for him downstairs in the living room,I began writing notes. Some were 12 "Dad,I froze the casserole(砂锅菜) in the fridge so it wouldn't go bad.”Some expressed my love. "Dad,I 13 you sleep well in your new bed. " 14 notes were downstairs where he would have to remain for weeks 15 he re?gained strength, but one note I hid 16 under his pillow. " Dad, if you have 17 this note，you must be feeling better. We are so glad！"

  While others cared for Dad's day-to-day needs,we, of course, would stay in touch by 18   . But our notes were a reminder of our love and concern for him. Just like his medicines improved his health 19   ，our notes would improve his spiritual health. Several weeks later, in one of our 20 phone calls, I asked Dad how he was doing. He said, "I'll tell you how I'm doing. I just found your note under my upstairs pillow！"

千万别说想尽孝却没有机会。只要有心，无论在哪里，我们都能给亲人们送去关爱。

1.C根据常识可知，作者周末到医院探视父亲,周一前必须返回。工作岗位可以有这种约束力。

2.B这里see相当于make sure,当地的亲属要接父亲出院回家，并定时去探望，给他做饭。

3.B指代上文local relatives,所以用they。

4.D根据下文Just like his medicines improved him可知，亲戚们还要保证让父亲每天吃药。

5.A根据下文作者的实际行动可知,这里作者要通过自己的方式表示关切。

6.D下一句中的would表示过去的习惯。因此这里表示作者想起了一个家庭生活的传统。

7.A根据句中的for their grandfather or grand?mother to find after we were gone可知,作者一家在离开父母家时，她的孩子们都会藏一个爱心纸条，以便让长辈们发现。

8.B同上。

9.C东西是离开时藏的。

10.C根据常识可知，父母在发现这些纸条时，会非常高兴。

11.A客厅本不是睡觉用的，因病人暂不能上楼，才在此搭建临时床铺。第13题挖空句中new bed也可验证答案。

12.C应根据下句留言内容的特征来判定本题答案。即某些纸条是实用性的，是为了方便父亲的起居。

13.B "在新床上睡得好"，这是一种表示关爱的愿望。

14.B此分句(Most notes...) 与下一分句but one note...形成语义对照。

15.A根据常识可知，父亲在恢复体力之前，不方便上楼,只好待在楼下。

16.D most... downstairs与but one... upstairs 相对照，说明作者将一张纸条藏在了楼上。本句也可说明卧室原本在楼上。

17.A卧室在楼上，如果父亲找到卧室中的留言，就说明他有了上楼的力气。

18.D根据下文中的phone calls，可知作者和父亲是通过电话保持联系的。

19.C药物促进了身体康复，留言改善了精神状态。

20.B作者和父亲定期通话，这也符合前面所说的stay in touch,
