第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

When I was a kid, I always used to wonderhow in the world my father work outside in the winter without a coat. It couldbe minus 20 degrees centigrade and there’d be Dad, removing snow, or perhapschopping some wood --- his coat thrown aside--- wearing a shirt , a cap, and apair of gloves.

“Aren’t you cold, Dad?” I’d ask. “No,” Dadwould reply. “I’m not cold--- working too hard to be cold.”

Many times I wondered whether my father wasan extremely tough man, or whether he was foolish.

One time when I was quite young, perhapsfive or so, I went ice fishing with Dad. It was a bright, clear day—andbitterly cold.

After we’d been out on the ice for a littlewhile, my feet started getting cold.

“ Daddy, my feet are cold.” I said.

“Yeah, it’s cold out here today,” hereplied.

“Tell you what,” he said. “Walk around.Make some circles in the snow. See how many different patterns you can make.That will get your feet warm.”

Now, I was just a little girl at the timebut I remember thinking, “How in the world will walking around in the snow makemy feet warm? Dad must be out of mind.

But he was my father, after all. I madecircles in the snow. I made squares. Pretty soon I was having so much funmaking patterns in the snow. I forgot about my feet being cold.

Now, all these years later, I know, too,from personal experience how my father was able to take his coat off and workoutside in the winter wearing just a shirt, a cap and gloves. Because I do it,too. “Aren’t you cold?” my husband asked one winter day. “No,” I replied. “I’mnot cold—working too hard to be cold.”

I hope my husband has decided I’m bothtough and smart. But I guess quite a bit of the time he thinks I’m foolish.

Wherever Dad is in that great big farm inthe sky—I’m sure he can’t help but smile whenever I take my coat off while I’mworking outside in the winter.
