  “I am going home to Denmark, Son, and I just want to tell you I love you.”

  In my dad's last telephone call to me, he   1   that line several times in half an hour.I wasn't listening at the right level.I heard the words, but not the message, and   2   not their deeper meaning.I believed my dad would live to be 100 years old,   3   my great uncle lived to be 107 years old.I hadn't felt his   4   over Mum's death, understood his loneliness or   5   most of his friends had left the world.He often asked my brother and me to create grandchildren   6   he could be a devoted grandfather.I was too busy with my business to really listen.

  “Dad's dead, ” sighed my brother not long after dad went back to Denmark.

  I was   7   and just cried for the loss of my dad.This isn't the   8   it's supposed to happen.If I had known these were to be dad's final days, I would have asked to go with him to Denmark.If I had been really listening and thinking, I would have offered comfort during his final hours.After all, a loved one should hold his hand and   9   him as he makes the transition(过渡)from reality to another world.Dad   10   his departure(离开)repeatedly, but I   11   it.I felt sadness, pain and regret.Why had I not been there for him? He'd always been there for me.In the mornings when I was nine years old, he   12   come home from working 18 hours and   13   me up by patting my back lightly with his strong powerful hands and whispering, “Time to get up, Son.”   14   I was dressed and ready to go, he had put my schoolbag in my bicycle basket.Recalling these   15   moments with dad brings tears to my eyes.

  Now my heart is still in   16   because dad was there for me and I wasn't there for him.My hearty   17   is:always, always seize the moment to   18   your love with your loved ones, and keep them   19   when they leave the world.Experiencing the   20   of death with one you love will make you understand the meaning of life better.

  When I was a boy, my father told me that he could do anything he wanted to. Dad said that he wanted to be the first to develop color prints in our city, and so he did.

  When I was 16, Dad looked closely at the violin I played and announced that he wanted to make one. He read about violin-making, and then became a violin-maker at the age of 43. He bought the tools and materials, opened a small store and set Mom up as the shopkeeper, while he worked at a local company. He retired from the company 17 years later and continued to make violins and other instruments.

  Dad often guessed why the Stradivarius violins sound so beautiful. Some experts claimed that it was the unique varnish (油漆)that gave those instruments their beautiful sound. Dad argued that chemists could analyze the varnish-if that were the answer.

  One of Dad's friends asked him once which kind of wood was used to make violins. When Dad explained that the top was made of spruce, his friend said that he had an old piece of spruce Dad might be interested in. He worked for the next 12 months making a violin from the wood that his friend had given him. It proved to be a superior violin and it would become Dad's masterpiece. He was convinced that the secret of the Stradivarius sound was in the wood itself.

  Later, the instrument was stolen. Dad's spirit was broken by the robbery, and he stopped making instruments. But he kept the music shop until he was 80 years old, selling guitars and violins.

  My father has been gone for 14 years now. The violin has been missing for more than 25 years. Somewhere a musician is playing a late-20th-century violin with an excellent tone. The owner today may never understand why this ordinary-looking violin sounds so much like a Stradivarius.

(1)The author mentions his father's developing color prints ________.

[  ]

A.to show that his father's real interest was not in making violins

B.to prove that his father could do anything he wanted to

C.to give an example proving that his father was an inventor

D.to describe the real thing that made the author believe his father

(2)What did the author's father think about Stradivarius violins?

[  ]

A.The varnish was different from the others.

B.The way of making them was special.

C.The wood of the violins was special.

D.They could only be analyzed by chemists.

(3)From the underlined sentence, we can learn that the author's father ________.

[  ]

A.liked the violin very much

B.got crazy after this happened

C.lost interest in instruments

D.didn't want to become famous

(4)How long did the author's father live after the violin was stolen?

[  ]

A.About 11 years.
B.About 14 years.
C.About 25 years.
D.About 80 years.

(5)We can infer from the last paragraph that the author ________.

[  ]

A.really hates the thief

B.misses his father a lot

C.really wants to play the violin

D.wonders who's playing the violin now

  I was an extremely verbal child, and growing up with my dad was an experiment in linguistics(语言学).My father was a man of few words.Whenever I wanted his permission for a certain activity, I planned a speech that included who would be there, where it would take place, how long it would last, and why it was an incredibly wonderful opportunity for me.He would listen and then say either “Yes” or “No.” There were never any qualifiers; not “Yes, but be home by dinner” or “No, unless you can convince me otherwise.” It was yes or no, plain and simple.

  My father’s phone messages were also lessons in patience and long-suffering to a teenage girl.I was quite active in high school.Not only did I enjoy being involved in many areas, but I came into contact with many a great teenage guy.I can recall one busy day when I had met two great guys and had given each of them my phone number.The first words out of my mouth when I walked through the front door were, “Dad! Did anyone call?” His answer, of course, was simply, “Yes.” I required for a more accurate description of the caller.His answer:“A boy.” Since I had met two guys that day, this did not help me.I ran to my room in tears.

  Knowing my dad’s dislike of language in general and his fondness for briefness, it surprised me to hear that he was going to teach the eleven-year-old boys’ Sunday school class.He did so for not one, but many years.I always wondered if he actually said anything, or if they all just sat in their chairs and stared at each other.I was sure that if people were waiting on my father to break the ice with brilliant conversation or a springboard comment, they’d be badly disappointed.Still, September after September, my father hung his sign outside the Sunday school room:Mr.Ernst--Eleven-Year-Old Boys.
