Our family danced a lot My daughters, Laura and Anne, and I continued to dance on every occasion One favorite memory I have of dancing with Laura and Anne was when I took each of them when they were seniors in high school to the Daddy-Daughter dance We won both dance competitions! As their father, I have tried to provide my daughters with unconditional love, as my Mother provided to me, endless emotional and loving support, and good educations and life experiences which have helped prepare them for happy and successful adult lives Being a father who is worthy of their love and respect, I consider fatherhood a privilege, not an entitlement In 1994, my oldest daughter Laura gave me a lovely book, which I still have, entitled "Fathers and Daughters." My Father's Day suggestion to every father is to dance with your daughters at every opportunity It will not only bring you closer, it will give them memories of you “to hang onto" long after we are gone 36 Of the characters mentioned in the passage, who did not like dancing? a Mary b Laura c Anne d No one 37 The writer _ a could not dance well b had a devoted mother c had not met his father since his parents divorced d did not like to dance with his step mother 38 Which sentence is not true? a He used to go to a dancing club with his father and step mother b The writer had two daughters c The writer enjoyed dancing with his daughters d The writer never danced with his step mother 39 Which is not referred to what the writer provides his daughters with? a the arts of dancing c endless emotional and loving support b unconditional love d good educations and life experiences 40 The writer _ fatherhood a underestimates b appreciates c dislikes d disapproves of Fill in each numbered blank with one suitable word or phrase Jean was the warmest, kindest lady (41) _ always volunteered her time, her effort and her love (42) _ a warm smile, a kind word or a listening ear, she was destined to make her mark in the hearts of her (43) _ family and friends They were her greatest (44) _ throughout her eleven-year struggle with cancer, which gave her the (45) _ to never give up When it came to her leisure time, Jean enjoyed (46) _ some shopping and having (47) _ lunch with her two children She also liked to shop at the supermarket, particularly to buy clothes for her sons and grandchildren For Jean, having a happy family (48) _ having heaven in her heart and angels in her life She truly cherished everyone in her life!
