As I grew older, Dad was to build all sorts of things for me as I explored a variety of interests: magic tricks, a toy circus, neighborhood shows and science projects.
From as early as I can remember to the time I left home for college, I continued to come to him with a design or an idea, and he would figure out how to build it.
In fifth grade, a schoolmate and I wrote a puppet(木偶) show that we wanted to perform for our class. I made the puppet heads myself, and I made the costumes and curtains with Mon---who was as expert designing and sewing with cloth as my father was designing and working with wood and metal. With Dad I made the puppet stage, in our own invented style between kid and adult with me saying something like, “ It has to be this high, and it needs to come apart and fold up so it can fit in the backseat of the car, and it needs to set up fast, and it needs to have different colored lights on top with switches you can reach to control them and a curtain you can pull from under it, even if you still have a puppet on your hand.” Dad figured out how to make it all work, making plans as we went along. Then with the tools in his shop he built it, and I helped.
Dad also spent a lot of time out in the garage or in the driveway working on the family car. I don’t remember that he ever took it to a professional auto-repair shop. Maybe to save money, but also because he could usually figure out what needed fixing, just by taking it apart and looking. Though not trained as an auto mechanic, he could look under the engine cover and take parts and pieces out, spread them on a tarp (油布) to catch the oil and figure out what was supposed to happen to the machine and then figure out what wasn’t happening and then replace the worn-out part or whatever and then put everything back together again.
36. If you are the writer, you are supposed to write about ________ahead of the first paragraph.
A. father’s achievement in mechanics
B. father’s love and skills in mechanics
C. father’s experience at repairing cars
D. father’s inventions in mechanics

38. Before the writer went to college, he always turned to his father for _____________.
A．designing a machine B．building his design or idea
C．making a puppet show D．building a show stage
39. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A．The writer’s car is always breaking down.
B．Father works in a car repairing shop.
C．Repairing in a shop can save much money.
D．Father was good at mending his car.

My dream ended when I was born. Although I never knew it then, I just held on to something that would never come to pass. Dreams really do exist. But in the morning when you wake up, they are remembered just as a dream. That is what happened to me.
I always had the dream to dance like a beautiful ballerina（芭蕾舞女演員）turning around and around and hearing people applaud for me. When I was young, I would turn around and around in the fields of wildflowers that grew in my backyard.
Reality woke me up when I heard someone saying, "I don't know why you bother trying to dance. Ballerinas are pretty and slender(苗條) www..comgirls. Besides, you don't have the talent to even be a ballerina." I remember how those words hurt every feeling in my body. I fell to the ground and wept for hours.
I enjoyed hanging out by the water. I would sit there for hours and stare at my reflection(倒影). There I was, looking nothing like a pretty ballerina dancer. Reflections don't lie. Once the waves would come, my reflection was washed away just like my dream to dance.
As I grew older, I began to realize that the reason my dream was even born was because it was something that was inside of me. The dream I had was never nurtured(培育) and cared for, so it slowly died. It's not that I wanted it to die, but I allowed it to die the day I started listening to the words, "You can't do it." When I finally woke up from many years of dreaming, I realized that you can't only settle for dancing in the wildflowers, you have to move on to the platform.
Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage？
A. Care for your dream
B. Dream and reality
C. Nothing is impossible
D. Efforts to be a ballerina will pay
The author didn’t realize her dream of being a ballerina mainly because_______.
A. she was bored of dancing and performing
B. she had lack of self-respect
C. her health conditions allowed her dream to die
D. she was deeply affected by others easily
From the passage, it can be inferred that _________.
A. the author was once a pretty and slender girl with wonderful dream.
B. we should dare to give up our dream facing much pressure and difficulty
C. if you stick to your dream and never say die, you will enjoy a bright life
D. You should necer give up.
What is the main purpose of writing the passage?
A. to complain B. to praise C. to warn D. to criticize

A few months before I was born, my Dad met a stranger who was new to our small town. From the beginning, Dad was fascinated with this enchanting newcomer and soon invited him to live with our family. The stranger was quickly accepted and was around to welcome me into the world a few months later.
As I grew up, I never questioned his place in my family. In my young mind, he had a special position.
