Several years ago, my parents, my wife, my son and I ate at a restaurant. After a wonderful dinner, the waiter set the check in the middle of the table. That’s when it happened: my father did not reach for the check. Conversation continued. Finally I realized that I should pick up the check! After hundreds of restaurant meals with my parents, after a lifetime of thinking of my father as the one with dollars, it had all changed. I paid the meal, and my view of myself suddenly changed. I was an adult. I was no longer a kid.
Some people mark off（区分）their lives in years, I measure mine in small events. I didn’t become a young man at a particular age, like 16, but rather when a kid who wandered in the streets called me “mister.” These events in my life are called “milestones”（里程碑）.
There have been other milestones .The policemen of my youth always seemed huge, and of course they were older than I was. Then one day they were suddenly neither. The day came when I suddenly realized that all the football players in the game I was watching were younger than I was. They were just big kids. With that milestone gone was the dream that someday, maybe I, too, could be a football player. Without ever having reached the hill ,I was over it.
I never thought that I would fall asleep in front of the TV set as my father did. Now it’s what I do best. I never thought that I would appreciate opera, but now the combination of voice and orchestra（乐队）attracts me. I used to think that people who watched birds were strange, but this summer I found myself watching them, and maybe I’ll get a book on the subject. I feel a strong desire for a religious belief that I never thought I’d want, and echo (模仿) my father in arguments with my son. I still lose …
One day I bought a house. One day ―what a day！― I became a father, and not too long after that I picked up the check for my own father. I thought then it was a milestone for me. One day, when I was a little older, I realized it was one for him too, another milestone.
60. The tone established in the passage is one of .
A. sad regret B. amusement C. deep feeling D. happiness
61. “Then they were suddenly neither .” suggests that .
A. suddenly I found myself no longer a kid.
B. suddenly I knew that they were neither bigger nor older than I was.
C. suddenly I realized that I made a mistake.
D. suddenly they became older than I was.
62. Which of the following best expresses the author’s thinking ？
A. One day is worth two tomorrows.
B. To save time is to lengthen life.
C. When an opportunity is lost ,it never comes back to you .
D. Time and tide wait for no man .

Ann started work last summer, so she didn't have a holiday. She saved as much as she could and, in January, she booked a package trip to Rosas, in Spain. She left London airport early on the first Saturday in August. She was very excited, as that was her first trip abroad. During the flight they had a snack, and when they arrived at Barcelona airport, a special bus was ready to take them to their hotel in Rosas. The weather was beautiful and Ann enjoyed the bus trip.
At the hotel, she checked in, and then went to her room to change before dinner. She was just ready to go downstairs, when she found that her Spanish money wasn't in her handbag. She carefully looked in all her luggage, but she couldn't find it. All she had was a small purse with ten English notes in it!
Ann found a place to change her English money. She had a few pesetas, and she would be here for two weeks. On her way back to the hotel, Ann bought some cheese, some bread and some oranges. When she got back, she told the manager that her doctor had told her not to eat Spanish food; she would just have breakfast every day. That was all right, as she knew the price of hotels included breakfast.
For the rest of her holiday, Ann swam in the hotel swimming pool, or lay on the beach and got a sunbath. She also went for long walks with one of the other tourists, a Scottish girl called Jane. However, when the others went to interesting places, she always said she wasn't well. In fact, her holiday wasn't bad, except that she was always hungry. After all, a piece of fruit for lunch, and bread and cheese for supper isn't very much... especially not for two weeks.
Late in the afternoon of their last day, Ann and Jane were on the beach. Jane asked her why she never ate with them in the hotel restaurant. The food was excellent. Ann told her all about her money problems. Jane looked at her for a minute, and then said, “But didn't you know? The price of this holiday includes absolutely everything!”
