第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

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。

A

Dear son,

The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience

and try to understand me.

If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the

hours I spent teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I repeat the same things

thousand and one times, do not interrupt me, listen to me. When you were small, I

had to read to you thousand and one times the same story until you got to sleep. When

I do not want to have a shower, neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had

to chase you with thousand excuses I invented, in order that you wanted to breathe.

When you see my knowing little about new technologies, give me the necessary time

and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄) smile. I taught you how to do so many

things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life… When at some moment I lose

the memory or the thread of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember,

and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our - 3 - conversation but surely to be with you and to have you listening to me.

If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well when I need to and when

not. When my tired legs do not allow me to walk, give me your hand, the same way I

did when you made your first step. And when someday I say to you that I do not want

to live anymore—that I want to rest forever, do not get angry. Someday you will

understand.

Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover
