阅读下列短文,根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

                                                                                              B

    When I was a little girl, my father loved to play catch (抛接球游戏) with me. I wasn't very good, but he would encourage me. He was always telling me “keep your eye on the ball” as I would not be able to catch even the easiest of throws.

    As I got older, we didn't play catch as much. If I had a problem, I would go to my father to ask for his advice. He would try to joke with me and say “keep your eye on the ball”. We would both laugh because usually that advice did not apply to(适用于) the problem, but he would try to make me smile.

    My father became ill in 1995 when I was 23. As he suffered from a stroke (中风), he could not speak. There weren't any more conversations. He could only mouth words, which were sometimes hard to understand. After a while, I seemed to be pretty good at reading his lips (嘴唇), even better than the nurses who were caring for him.

    During our last conversation, I was telling him about a problem I was having with my then boyfriend. Once again, I could read his lips: “Keep your eye on the ball.” We both smiled.

    That was the last time I saw my father before he passed away.

    Since then, when I get into a stressful situation I tell myself “keep your eye on the ball”.

(1)、At first, by saying “keep your eye on the ball”, the writer's father _____.

A、tells her to be careful while playing catch B、wants to teach her a life lesson C、wants her to work harder in every way D、laughs at her when she misses the ball
(2)、When the writer asked for advice from her father, he usually _____.

A、tried to solve the problem for her B、didn't care about her problem C、joked with her and made her smile D、told her to solve the problem alone
(3)、When in trouble, the writer tells herself “keep your eye on the ball” to _____.

A、encourage herself to face the difficulty B、remember the old days with her father C、help herself forget her troubles D、remember how to play catch
(4)、The underlined word “pretty” means _________.

A、beautiful B、quite C、carefully D、always
(5)、Which of the following can describe the writer's father?

 B. Choose the words of phrases and complete the passage 

When my father was getting ready for work, our house was ruled by knocks and words. He used to come downstairs to breakfast. The morning paper lay beside his plate. He always read the' Deaths' first; and then he knocked once on the table. One of my sisters brought hi toast, already buttered for him.1 he said nothing, but once I heard him say, "I love you very much, Edith. I would love you more if you buttered my toast on2 . "He read the paper all through breakfast. 

Two knocks on the table meant 'I am ready for my tea', If a single knock followed, that meant 'More toast, please. ' After breakfast he said, "Boots. " The paper was3 for him over the back of an armchair. Yesterday's paper was put on the chair for his feet, and his boots were brought to him, freshly cleaned. He read standing,4 putting on his boots and tying the laces. 

With one boot finished, he said, "Bus. " At that point one of the girls went outside to the garden gate and waited there. Her job was to stop the bus when it came. It came early sometimes, and it had to wait for my father. "Overcoat, hat. " One of my sisters had already brushed his overcoat. Now she held it open for him and guided his arms into it. Then she pulled his jacket down under the coat.5 girl came with his hat, nicely brushed. "Handkerchief, pipe. " They were brought and put, with his tobacco, into his pockets. He looked out of the window and said either 'Walking stick' or'Umbrella'. It was handed to him. 

Ready now, he was still reading the paper. He did not put it down until he heard the shout "Bus coming! " Then he kissed my mother and went out. The girls breathed freely. How lucky a man is to have a wife and five daughters at home!

阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当内容(一个单词),或括号内单词的正确形式。

A man in Shanwei in eastern Guangdong Province rented 12 trucks to protect his restaurant against typhoon Saola, which became a piece of hot news.

The restaurant is just over 100 {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(metre) away from the sea,but it did not experience any loss from Saola, according to Southern Metropolis Daily. "The tall, huge and strong trucks can protect the restaurant from the typhoon,"said the restaurant owner, Mr Lin. Lin even loaded mud(装载泥浆)onto the trucks to make {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(they) heavy enough to keep strong when the typhoon came. Typhoon Saola resulted in a rainstorm in Shanwei. 68{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(lucky),it did not do any harm to his restaurant.

These trucks cost Lin {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(much) than 20,000 yuan. Some people thought it was unnecessary to protect the restaurant by {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(spend) so much money on the trucks. However, Lin {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(believe) it was valuable. This was not {#blank#}7{#/blank#}first time for Lin to use trucks to protect his restaurant. Lin also saved his restaurant with 12 trucks during the earlier typhoon Doksuri {#blank#}8{#/blank#}August. He said he would do the same {#blank#}9{#/blank#}next typhoon comes.

After learning that Saola was gradually leaving, Lin decided to return the trucks {#blank#}10{#/blank#} reopen the restaurant.
