Passage Four-|||-Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:-|||-There are two things I can count on my dad asking every time he calls me:"Is there anything I can-|||-do for you?"and"How`s the car?"I guess he asks what he can do for me because his dad(an air force-|||-officer) was never really there for him,and he`s determined to provide me with the support he lacked-|||-During my youth he never missed a school play or softball game.In fact,he was so supportive that I-|||-sometimes longed for one of those dads who dressed better and cared less.But my dad would forever-|||-be the guy wearing shorts with dress shoes and black socks,cheering me on,expecting greatness.-|||-His other standard question-"How`s the car?"-used to strike me as a waste of long-distance-|||-dollars from a man who once suggested making a list of what you want to talk about before calling-|||-someone out of state.What I now realize is that "How`s the car?"is not about the car.It`s a father`s-|||-way of asking his adult daughter how she is.The advantage is that if there`s something wrong with the-|||-car,he knows what to do about it and how much it will cost,whereas f you`re having marital problems-|||-or doubting a career choice,he might have to put Mom on the line.-|||-At age 30 I finally took the plunge(突然一跳)into adulthood by leasing(租)a car without my-|||-dad`s help or advice.I`m sure my dad was hurt rather than proud.Though a daughter`s independence-|||-is evidence(证据)of a job well done,it still implies the job`s done,and many fathers are reluctant to-|||-retire.Even when my dad was overworked,he`d happily hop on a plane if I said I needed help.His-|||-frequent question,"Is there anything I can do for you?"underlines the fact that he wishes there was-|||-still something he could provide.It`s interesting:Even though we`re tied by blood and I love him no-|||-matter what,he still seems to need a concrete function-suggesting stocks,finding the cheapest plane-|||-fare-to feel he has a role in my life.-|||-36.Judging from the first paragraph,the author has a very __ .-|||-A)supportive father-|||-B) rich father-|||-C)capable father-|||-D)careful father-|||-37.The author now realizes that by asking"How is the car?",her father is actually __ _-|||-A) wasting precious money-|||-B)asking how she`s getting along-|||-C) expressing his concern for her safety-|||-D)showing how much he knows about cars-|||-38.In case the author asked her father what she should do with her life,he would probably __ --|||-A) let her mother answer the question-|||-B) tell her his own experience in career choice-|||-C) let her make her own decision-|||-D)make a list of what to say to her-|||-39.When the author leased a car without asking her father`s advice,he was __ --|||-A)proud his daughter had finally achieved independence-|||-B) hurt because he had no more to do for her-|||-C)happy that he had got a job well done-|||-D) angry because his daughter no longer minded his advice-|||-40.What does the author mean by saying"many fathers are reluctant to retire"?-|||-A) They want to continue to work so they will have money to provide support for their-|||-daughters.-|||-B) They are afraid they`ll lose their daughters`love if they don`t do something for them.-|||-C)They believe their daughters need their help in things such as fixing a car.
