Question

【題目】

I shook hands with my father in the truck, and for a long time he looked

straight ahead and didn't say a word. But I knew he was going to say a little to

me. "I can't say anything," he finally said. "I never went to college, and none

of your brothers went to college. I can't say don't do this and do that, because

everything is different and I don't know what is going to come up. I'm sure you

can deal with it ."

He gave me a new checkbook (支票簿). "If things get pushing, write a small check. But when you write one, send me a letter and let me know. There are some things we can always sell."

"You know what you want to be, and they'll tell you what to take," my father went on."When you get a job, be sure to be honest, and work hard."

Then my dad reached his seat and brought the old, broken Bible that he had read so often, the one he used when he wanted to look something up in a friendly quarrel with one of the neighbours. I knew he would miss it. I knew, though, that I must take it. He didn't say that I needed to read this every morning. He just said, "This can help you ifyou take it."

Did it help? I got through college without being a burden (負擔) on the family. I have been able to make money since.

【解析】本文主要講述作者的爸爸送他上大學時，給了他兩件禮物：一個支票本和一本舊圣經。告訴他“我從來沒有上過大學，你的兄弟都沒有上過大學。我不能說不要這樣做或那樣做，因為一切都不同，我不知道會發生什么。我對錢也幫不了多少忙，但我想事情總會解決的。”然后給了作者一個支票本，讓作者需要錢的時候，寫一張，但是要寫信告訴他是多少。他從座位下拿出一本破舊的圣經給作者，告訴作者它會幫助他。我上大學沒有成為家人的負擔，因為從那時起我就開始兼職掙錢了。
