“How did you do it, Dad ? How have you   21   not to take a drink for almost 20 years? ”It took me almost 20 years to have the  22  to even ask my father this very  23 question.
When Dad first 24  drinking, the whole family was on pins and needles  25  he got into a situation that, in the past, would have started him drinking again.For a few years we were  26  to bring it up for fear that the drinking would begin again.
“I had this little  27  that I would recite to myself  28  four to five times a day ” was Dad’s  29 to my 18-year-old unasked question.“The  30  were an instant relief and constant reminder to me that things were never so  31  that I could not handle them,”Dad said.And then he  32  the poem with me.The poem’s simple, yet profound (深?yuàn)W的) words  33  became part of my daily routine as well.
About a month after this talk with my father,I  34  a gift in the mail from a friend of mine. It was a book of affirmations (斷言) with one affirmation listed for each  35  of the year.
I 36  opened the book to the page of my birthday to see what words of wisdom this book had in store for me. 37  of disbelief and appreciation rolled down my face.There,on my birthday ,was the  38  poem that had helped my  39 for all these years! It is called The Sereniry Prayer.
God,give me the Serenity（平靜）to accept the things I cannot change,the Courage to  40  the things I can,and the Wisdom to know the difference.

解析【小題1】由下文可知父親已經(jīng)設(shè)法戒掉了酒，故應(yīng)用manage，表示“成功做到……”。
【小題1】句意“我”花了近20年的時(shí)間才有勇氣去問(wèn)父親這個(gè)問(wèn)題。第二段最后解釋說(shuō)，“我”一直害怕勾起他再次飲酒的欲望，故不敢提及該問(wèn)題。
【小題1】根據(jù)常識(shí)可知，該問(wèn)題純粹是私人問(wèn)題。
【小題1】從本段最后一句“害怕他再次喝酒”可知，這里是在描述父親最初戒酒時(shí)我們的反應(yīng)。
【小題1】每次當(dāng)他遇到一種可能會(huì)讓他再次飲酒的場(chǎng)合時(shí)，全家人就如坐針氈。此處every time引導(dǎo)一個(gè)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句，意為“每次”。
【小題1】擔(dān)心(父親)再次開(kāi)始飲酒，故數(shù)年來(lái)我們一直不敢提及這件事。bring it up提及這件事o
【小題1】本題可以從倒數(shù)第二段的倒數(shù)第二句中得到暗示。
【小題1】從下文可知，父親喜愛(ài)這首詩(shī)，每天至少背誦四到五遍。
【小題1】根據(jù)文章第一段及空后內(nèi)容可知，這是父親對(duì)文章開(kāi)頭“我”提出的問(wèn)題的回答。
【小題1】本題可以從本段最后一句話(huà)中得到暗示。
【小題1】考查形容詞詞義辨析。語(yǔ)境：這些話(huà)不斷提醒我事情從來(lái)不會(huì)困難到無(wú)法處理。tough堅(jiān)硬的，結(jié)實(shí)的，棘手的，難解的。A．陌生的，生疏的，奇異的，奇怪的；B．不同的；C．簡(jiǎn)單的。
【小題1】考查動(dòng)詞與介詞的搭配。share sth with sb.與某人分享……。本題易誤選read，但其后介詞應(yīng)用to，即read sth．to sb．。
【小題1】從下文可知，“我”對(duì)該詩(shī)一見(jiàn)傾心，頗受其影響，故這些話(huà)語(yǔ)立即成為“我”日常生活的一部分。
【小題1】由空格后的a gift in the mail及birthday可知，此處說(shuō)“我”收到一份禮物。
【小題1】由第五段第一句中“我”翻到“我”生日所在的那一頁(yè)可知，該書(shū)是每天都有一個(gè)斷言的。
【小題1】由上一段最后一句和本空后的內(nèi)容“…to see what words of wisdom this book had in store for me”可知。此處表示“我”急忙打開(kāi)這本書(shū)。
【小題1】此處指眼淚從臉上滾落下來(lái)。sweat汗水，不符合語(yǔ)境。
【小題1】考查形容詞辨析�！拔摇鄙漳且豁�(yè)上的斷言正是曾經(jīng)幫助父親戒酒的那首詩(shī)。exact恰好的。correct正確的；impossible不可能的；original起初的。
【小題1】根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容可知，正是這首詩(shī)多年來(lái)一直在幫助父親。
【小題1】上帝，給我平靜之心來(lái)接受不能改變之事，給我勇氣去改變我所能改變之事，給我智慧以了解其差異。

When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was badly crippled (跛腳), and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare, I would be ashamed of the unwanted attention. If ever noticed or bothered, he never let on.

It was difficult to walk together—and because of that, we didn’t say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”

Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how he got to work. He went to work sick, and even in bad weather. He almost never missed a day, and would make it to the office even if others could not. It was a matter of pride for him.

When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help... Such times my sister or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn, N.Y., on a child’s sleigh to the subway entrance. Once there, he would try to grasp handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept ice free. In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building, and he would not have to go outside again until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home.  

When I think of it now, I am surprised at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to suffer from shame and disability. And I am also surprised at how he did it—without bitterness or complaint.

He never talked about himself as an object of pity, not did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.

Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still don’t know exactly what a “good heart” is. But I know the times I don’t have one myself.

He has been away for many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about my troubles, when I am envious of another’s good fortune, when I don’t have a “good heart”.

How did the man treat his father when he was young?

A. He helped his father happily.

B. He never helped his father.

C. He helped his father, but not very happily.

D. He only helped his father take a walk after supper.

As a disabled man, his father____.

A. didn’t work very hard

B. didn’t go to work from time to time

C. hated those who had good fortune

D. was happy and satisfied, and never lost hope

What does the underlined word “reluctance” mean in the article? It means ____.

A. anger                     B. sadness            C. happiness                D. unwillingness

How did the father get to work usually?

A. By subway.              B. By bus.            C. By wheelchair.         D. By bike.
