    根据短文内容选择最佳答案。(Choose the best answers according to the passage．)

    　　I grew up in a small town in Spain．One morning when I was 16, my father told me I could drive him into a village called Mijas, about 18 miles away, if I took the car in to be serviced(维修)at a nearby garage(修配厂)．Thinking that I had just learned to drive, and hardly had the chance to use the car．I agreed happily．I drove Dad into Mijas and made sure to pick him up at 4 p.m．, then drove to a nearby garage and dropped off the car．Because there were still a few hours to be left, I decided to watch movies at a theatre near the garage．However, when the last movie had finished, I was two hours late!

    　　I knew Dad would be angry．If he knew what I did, he would never let me drive again．So when I drove up to the place where we'd planned to meet and saw Dad waiting patiently on the corner, I told him that I'd come as quickly as I could, but the car had needed some special repairs．

    　　“I'm terribly sorry that you feel you have to lie to me, Jason．”

    　　“What do you mean, Dad? I'm telling the truth．”

    　　“I called the garage to ask if there were any problems, and they told me that you had not yet picked up the car．So I know there were no problems with the car．I'm angry, not with you but with myself．You see, I've failed as a father．I'm going to walk home now and think carefully about where I have gone wrong all these years．”

    　　“But Dad, it's 18 miles to home．It's dark．You can't walk home．”

    　　I pleaded(恳求)all the way, telling him how sorry I was．But nothing helped．I had to drive behind him for 18 miles．

    　　It was one of the most painful experiences I had ever had．However, it was also the most successful lesson．

    这是一个单词纸牌游戏．请你在阅读完短文后，把A、B、C、D、E五个图片按游戏的正确步骤(Steps1－5)重新排列，然后完成下题．

    　　This was one of my favourite games when I was a little girl. My sister and I used to play it for hours at a time. To play this game we made twenty-six small pieces of cards. On each of these cards we printed an English letter. And this is how we played it:

    　　First, before we started to play, we decided what the game would be about. For example, we chose to play flowers.

    　　One of us would then mix(混合) the cards and turn over the one on top of them. If the letter on the card happened(碰巧) to be P, we would try to think, as quickly as possible, of a flower which began with P, such as pansy(紫罗兰) or pink(石竹花). The one who first gave the name of the flower won that card. This was done with each of the twenty-six cards.

    　　In the end the person who had more cards won the game.

    Step 1．____　Step 2．____　Step 3．____　Step 4．____　Step 5．____

    1．Which is RIGHT?

    [　　]

    A．The game can only be played between two people.

    B．If you choose to play flowers, the letter on the card will be P.

    C．The winner has to win every card of the game.

    D．The one who loses the game doesn't think as quickly as the winner.
