Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
My father was 44 and knew he wasn't going to make it to 45. He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.
Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my heart. One part always stands out. "Right now, you are pretending to be a time killer. But I know that one day, you will do something great that will set you among the very best." Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself. "You will do something great." He didn't know what would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I've felt proud of myself , I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask, "Is this what you were talking about , Dad ? Should I keep going ?"
A long way from 12 now, I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress. Lately, though, I've come to believe he would want me to move on to what comes next: to be proud of , and believe in , somebody else. It's time to start writing my own letters to my children . Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had. Our kids don't hold back because they're afraid to fail. They're only afraid of failing us. They don't worry about being disappointed. Their fear ---as mine was until my father's letter ---is of being a disappointment .
Give your children permission to succeed. They're waiting for you to believe in them. I always knew my parents loved me. But trust me：That belief will be more complete , that love will be more real, and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts："Don't worry; you'll do something great ." Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.

【答案】
（1）A
（2）D
（3）D
【解析】這篇短文中作者講述了他的父親在他很小的時(shí)候就去世了，但是留給了他一封信，這封信對(duì)作者的意義很大，它激勵(lì)了作者。因此作者通過(guò)文章想要告訴我們作為父母應(yīng)多鼓勵(lì)自己的孩子。

（1）推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文的開頭My father was 44 and knew he wasn't going to make it to 45可知，作者的父親44歲就去世了。再根據(jù)下一段的開頭Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter作者12歲的時(shí)候，讀到了父親留給他的信。由此可知，作者在很小的時(shí)候就失去了父親。故應(yīng)選A。

（2）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第三段中They're only afraid of failing us. They don't worry about being disappointed. Their fear ---as mine was until my father's letter ---is of being a disappointment可知，作者說(shuō)他的孩子們害怕令父母失望，而作者的這種類似的恐懼在讀了父親的信之后就沒(méi)有了，因此D符合文意。

（3）主旨大意題。這篇短文作者從自身的經(jīng)歷出發(fā)，講述了他的父親留給他的信對(duì)他產(chǎn)生的影響，從而想告訴我們作為父母，應(yīng)多鼓勵(lì)自己的孩子。短文的最后一段是點(diǎn)明中心主旨的一段，根據(jù)里面That belief will be more complete , that love will be more real, and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts："Don't worry; you'll do something great可知D選項(xiàng)正確。
