Returning from a trip overseas, I sensed that something was wrong between Keith, one of my two sons, and me. So I asked him, “Keith, have I done anything that really1your feeling?”
Immediately, he said, “Yes. Last Christmas you promised us a special2that I really wanted but you never gave it to me.”
The3was that I’d completely forgotten about it. I4, “Is there anything else I’ve done wrong, but didn’t apologized for?”
Again, his5was immediate, “Remember last Christmas when Mom said you had to go to the6because Stephen was going to be born? You left us at home and7
“Well, you left and forgot the suitcase.” I couldn’t believe he8all the details! “After you came back from the hospital you were9. When you got home, the suitcase had been opened and everythinghad been thrown all over the place, and you10me.”
“And you didn’t do it?” I asked.
“No, I didn’t . I was just searching for my gift.”
My heart sank. I felt11. I hugged Keith and asked him to12me. His Honesty made me think of our other son, Kevin. Maybe I’d hurt his feelings, too. I went to ask him the same question. Kevin’s answer was as immediate as his13, “Last Christmas you promised us a special toy, but you forgot about it.”
Though Christmas had passed, I took my two sons to the store that day and bought them what I had promised. The14thing wasn’t the toy. The problem was I’d made a promise too15 and didn’t keep it as their father.

Answer 1

BDDCB ACDAB ADBCA
1.B根据文章第一句话中的“I sensed that something was wrong between Keith，one of my two sons，and me”可知，B项符合语境，即“我做了什么伤害你感情的事情了吗？”。第八段中的“I’d hurt his feelings，too”也是线索提示。
2.D根据第八段最后一句中的“you promised us a special toy”可知。
3.D fact表示“事实”，即“实际情况是，我完全忘记了这件事”。其他选项不合题意：challenge表示“挑战”；message表示“信息”；idea表示“想法”。
4.C根据上下文可知，我是继续问Keith，我还做错过什么事情。
5.B即对我上面问他的问题的回答，第八段中“Kevin answered as immediately as...”有提示。
6.A根据这句话最后的“because Kate，my little sister，was going to be born”可知，A项符合语境：Kate要出生了，当然应该是去医院。第五段中“you came back from the hospital”也有提示。
7.C set off意思是“出发，动身”，即动身去医院。其他几个词组不合语境。settle down意思是“安顿”；go on意思是“继续”；get up意思是“站起，起来”。
8.D他竟然记得(remembered)所有的细节。
9.A从下文可知，当“我”从医院回到家发现，箱子被打开了，里面的东西扔了一地，因此很生气(angry)。故A项符合语境。
10. B praise意思是“赞扬”；punish意思是“惩罚”；help意思是“帮助”；educate意思是“教育”。根据上文内容可知，只有B项符合语境。
11. A我感觉很难受。因此terrible符合语境。
12.D forgive表示“原谅，谅解”。即请孩子谅解我对他的伤害(对他的错误惩罚)。
13.B由文首的two sons可知应选B。Kevin的回答和他兄弟的回答一样快。
14.C重要的（important）不是玩具。
15.A lightly意思是“轻率地”。即“我以前很轻率地对孩子作出承诺，但却没有像他们的母亲那样信守诺言”。
