三、阅读理解

A 第4页 共14页 It’s hard to talk to Dad sometimes.His silence about his

feelings and thoughts made him mysterious and hard to see

through.You could never break his hard shell and get to know him.And

he seemed to want to stay that way too.

But a year ago when my relationship with my wife and career took

a hit,I needed my dad to pull back the curtain so I could see him

as real and accessible.I was facing serious problems and I wanted

to know whether he had faced them before and how he had found his

way,because I felt like I had lost mine.In desperation,it occurred

to me that sending an email might be the key,so I wrote him

one,telling him about my regrets and fears,and I asked him to

answer,if he felt like it.

Two weeks later,it showed up in my inbox:a

much-thought,three-page letter.Dad,a 68-year-old retired

technologist and grandfather of four,had carefully considered my

message,and crafted a response.He mentioned his lost love,the

foolish mistake he made in career and the stupid pride he had between 第5页 共14页 him and his parents.He comforted me that “life will still find its

right track despite many of its twists and turns”.

I closed the email and started to cry,because I wished I had

opened up earlier but was grateful it wasn’t too late.I cried

because at 33,in the midst of my own struggles,his letter instantly

put me at ease.And I cried because in the end,it was so simple:I

just had to hit “Send”.

We’ve since had many email emunication opened a door into his

world.My problems haven’t been magically solved,but getting to

know my dad better has made the tough things more manageable and

life sweeter.It’s hard to talk to Dad sometimes,but I’m glad I

found a way to talk to mine.

Arriving in Sydney on his own from India,my

husband,Rashid,stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for

a house for me and our children.

During the first week of his stay,he went out one day to do some

shopping.He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his 第7页 共14页 suitcase was gone.He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all

his important papers,including his passport.

He reported the case to the police and then sat there,lost and

lonely in a strange city,thinking of the terrible troubles of

getting all the paperwork organised again from a distant country

while trying to settle down in a new one.

Later in the evening,the phone rang.It was a stranger.He was

trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of

questions.Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash

can that had been left out on the footpath.

My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding

all his papers and documents.Their young daughter had gone to the

trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers.Her parents had

carefully sorted them out,although they had found mainly foreign

addresses on most of the documents.At last they had seen a
