B 3 (2021·潍坊市高三阶段性监测)

My parents owned a neighborhood bar called the M Ninety­Seven，named after a

nearby highway，on the corner of State Fair and Hoover Avenues in Detroit.Built in

the 1930s，it had a long wooden bar that was on the right as you walked

in.I_grew_up_in_the__bar．When most kids of my age were at the park playing ball

or riding bikes，I was watching old men shoot pool and play shuffleboard(沙壶球).

My father spent his entire life serving drinks and bringing cheer to

customers.There were the white­collars who would step in to unwind from the day's

stress.They would bend elbows with the blue­collars and day laborers on either side

of them.It always surprised me that they were able to mingle(相交往).I would

sit at the last table by the kitchen，sipping Cokes and eating a bag of Better Made

potato chips with my twin sister，watching it all.

It was the 1960s version of a reality show.There was Big Bill，the tough talking

policeman who stood six and a half feet tall and weighed just shy of the beer truck

he drank daily.His views on society could be hard to listen to at times.But one night，he showed that he was all talk.While Bill was on patrol (巡逻)，a call came over

the radio about an apartment fire.He raced the scout car to the scene，beating even

the fire crew.The building was ablaze.He ran up three flights of stairs through smoke

and flames to rescue two frightened children.Bill carried them out in his arms like

each was a carton of eggs.The man with an explosive mouth but a keg­sized heart saved

the day.

Years passed，my father died，and the bar was sold.Like secondhand smoke，the

words and the scenes from that bar stayed with me.

语篇解读： “我”的父母在底特律开了一个酒吧，那里留着“我”童年的记忆：“我”常和妹妹在酒吧里吃着零食，看着酒吧里的一切；“我”还记得警察Bill救火的事迹。后来父亲过世，酒吧易主，但酒吧里的话和场景一直陪伴着我。

4．What did the author want to tell us by the underlined sentence in Paragraph

1?

A．His family built a wooden bar.

B．He didn't play with kids at the park.
