17．My dad was never the kind to offer many words of love or encouragement．But we knew he loved us…he just had his own way of showing it．
When I was a teen，we were seasonal campers at a family campground almost an hour outside the city where we lived．Each family had their own campsite with water and electric，and you basically parked your camper there from May through October．Most"Seasonals"visited them every weekend during those months，with the occasional weeklong stay．There were plenty of other kids who camped seasonally each weekend，and they came to be some of my closest friends．Of course，many of them were boys．
We kids paired up with our little boyfriends or girlfriends，and we'd hold hands as we'd walk around the campground．We'd play ping-pong，have some snacks，and play songs．Most weekends were pretty similar，but the couples would change．You'd see so-and-so with a different so-and-so than they were with the weekend before．You know how it is when you're a teen-a three-week relationship is a really long time．
So，needless to say，my teen years were spent with quite a few different boys．But every single one of them had something in common…they'd all received The Evil Eye．
The Evil Eye was a magical sort of thing．One simple look from my dad，and the boy immediately knew not to mess with me．It was as if he could send his warnings through invisible laser（激光）beams that shot directly from his eyes to the boys'brains．
"You will not put your hands on my daughter…You will not kiss my daughter…You will not even whisper sweet nothings into my daughter's ear．"
I remember one night in particular，walking with a boy around the campground after dark．We came from one direction，and my dad from the other．The boy and my dad locked eyes for a brief second，then the boy dropped my hand like a hot potato and turned away，giving me a quick，"See you later．"
Yes，the Evil Eye．Best way ever to keep wandering teen boy hands away from your daughters．

分析 本文是一篇科教类记叙文；文章主要介绍了父亲不擅长表达情感，但是有自己的表达方式；我十几岁的时候有很多朋友，其中有一些是男孩子；但是每个男孩子都收到了父亲的令人望而生畏的目光； 父亲的目光是在警告男孩，保护作者；而那令人望而生畏的眼神诠释着父亲对女儿的挚爱．
解答 56．答案是D．推理判断题．由第五段中"It was as if he could send his warnings through invisible laser（激光）beams that shot directly from his eyes to the boys'brains．"可知，父亲的眼神就像激光把他的警告直接从他的眼睛射进男孩子们的脑海；父亲的眼神令男孩畏惧，吓退了男孩．由此推知，父亲的眼神对女儿有保护作用．故选D．

点评 阅读要整体理解文章，在做细节题时根据题干定位细节，在语境中正确理解原句，然后对照选项做出合理的判断；必要的时候要进行推理，透过句子表面看作者的真正意图．如果是主旨大意的判断要把握文章整体，避免以偏概全．
