When knowing his son got a C grade in the maths exam, the father was proud and cheerful. This is the tear-jerking moment when a proud father is captured on camera celebrating his son's exam result.

After setting up the hidden camera, the boy calls his father to the kitchen, telling him in a whisper 'I've just got something from school; I need you to come and look at it.' His father, who can be heard shouting from elsewhere in the house, asks 'Has something happened?', to which the naughty teenager, Aria, replies 'Yes! It's really important'. As his nervous-looking father approaches, Aria says 'Come and have a chat with me. Just come in, and read that', he says while passing over a piece of paper displaying the result.

After seeing his son has achieved a C grade in the maths exam, the man asks 'Is that veracious?,' before bursting into tears of joy. The pair hug before the disbelieving dad asks again, 'Are you sure? They've not made a mistake? I can't believe it; I just can't believe it!'

A mere year before the video was filmed, the schoolboy received an F in the subject. He explained，'In England you need a C to basically do anything with your life. I've never been amazing academically and have struggled through school. Neither me or my dad or my teachers thought I was going to get my C, for me it was tough. When I told my Dad who means the world to me this was his reaction...Enjoy'.

Still feeling happy from the news, his delighted father tells him 'You're set for life! You're set for life!'. The teen is seen smiling into the camera at the end of the video, seemingly as thrilled with the result as his emotional father.

【解析】

試題分析: 學(xué)業(yè)的C級對于英國的學(xué)生是非常重要的，這是學(xué)生進(jìn)入高等階段教育的基礎(chǔ)。在本文中作者講述了一個數(shù)學(xué)成績差，一直是F等級的孩子當(dāng)考試獲得C級后，父子兩個激動的情景。

1.。信息推斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段…..Just come in, and read that', he says while passing over a piece of paper displaying the result.可知孩子讓父親來廚房的的目的是告訴他自己的數(shù)學(xué)考試成績。

2.。詞義推斷題。根據(jù)第三段中父親說的話'Are you sure? They've not made a mistake? I can't believe it; I just can't believe it!可知父親特別興奮，簡直不能相信這是真的，由此推測veracious意思是true。

3.Because he can’t believe it./He wants to be sure of it.。信息推斷題。從文章第三段內(nèi)容可知當(dāng)父親看到兒子的成績時激動的流下了眼淚，根據(jù)The pair hug before the disbelieving dad asks again,可以判斷父親因為不相信而發(fā)出一連串的疑問。

4.ne needs a C to basically do anything with his life in England.。信息查找題。根據(jù)文章第四段'In England you need a C to basically do anything with your life.可知在英國C級對于一個人非常重要。

5.

( He loves his son very much and he is proud of him when he achieves something in his life.)
