题目内容
阅读下列短文, 从所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳答案。
My father and I were very close. I loved pleasing him, and he was always proud of my success. If I won a spelling contest (竞赛) at school, he was on top of the world. Later in life whenever I got a promotion (提升), I'd call my father right away and he'd rush out to tell all his friends. In 1970, when I was named president of the Ford Motor Company, I didn't know which of us was more excited.
Like many native Italians, my parents were very open with their feelings and their love — not only at home, but also in public. Most of my friends would never hug their fathers. But I hugged and kissed my dad at every opportunity —nothing could have felt more natural.
He was a curious man who was always trying new things. He was the first person in Allentown to buy a motorcycle. Unfortunately, my father and his motorcycle didn't get along too well. He fell off it so often that he got rid of it just a month after buying it. As a result, he never again trusted any vehicle with less than four wheels.
Because of that motorcycle, I wasn't allowed to have a bicycle when I was growing up. Whenever I wanted to ride a bike, I had to borrow one from a friend. On the other hand, my father let me drive a car as soon as I turned sixteen.
