Many years ago, a baby boy came into this worlD. But 1, he didn’t come with a cry, which was a big 2from the medical point of view. The doctor turned the baby 3and slapped his bottom sharply. The baby cried and 4. The father smiled and silently cried 5. He held the baby in his arms and didn’t allow the doctor to touch the baby anymorE. That baby was me, and that man was my daD. Dad never tried to hug or kiss me when I was a chilD. And 6, he never said “I love you” to me, either. Maybe it’s a Chinese cultural thing, or maybe that’s the way my dad was. But 7I felt defeated, sad or lonely, dad was always therE. He was a man of 8words, but I could always feel a very special 9to him. When I was in high school, dad retired and 10a food stand on the street near my school. Every day when I finished 11, my classmates and I 12pass his food stanD. But I really hated talking to dad in front of his food stand, 13I did not want my classmates to know that my dad was selling noodles on the street! One night, I couldn’t 14it any more and shouted, “Dad, could you stop selling your 15noodles? I don’t need a father who sells noodles on the street!” At that moment, dad was 16. He tried to say something but didn’t. When he turned his head 17, something happened that I had never seen and would never forget for 18of my lifE. His eyes were filled with tears and sadness. It was the first time that I saw dad 19. My mom later told me that dad was selling noodles to save money for my college education. I was such an idiot, and even today I still feel 20for that night. 1.A. abruptly B. unfortunately C. expectedly D. fortunately 2.A. question B. problem C. challenge D. solution 3.A. upside down B. inside out C. up and down D. at the bottom 4.A, existed B. produced C. delivered D. survived 5.A. as well as B. either C. as well D. neither 6.A. of course B. by no means C. on the contrary D. in vain 7.A. whatever B. whichever C. whenever D. however 8.A. few B. a little C. little D. a few 9.A.combination B.
