As a kid, I spent my summers with my grandparents in Texas. And every few summers, we’d 1 the caravan (旅游團隊), a group of Airstream trailer owners who 2 together around the U.S. and Canada.
I loved and worshipped my grandparents and I really looked 3 to these travels. On one particular 4 ,I was about 10 years old. I was rolling around in the backseat. My grandfather was 5 . And my grandmother had the passenger seat. She smoked throughout these trips, and I hated the 6.
At that age, I’d take any excuse to make estimates(估計) and do minor 7.At any rate, I decided to do the math for my 8. I estimated the number of cigarettes per days, estimated the number of 9 per cigarette and so on. When I was satisfied that I’d come up with a reasonable number, I poked my head into the 10 of the car, tapped my grandmother 11 the shoulder, and proudly proclaimed, “At two minutes per puff, you've taken nine years off your 12!” Because the ad said, every puff of a cigarette takes some number of minutes 13 smoker’s life.
I expected to be applauded for my 14 and arithmetic skills. That’s not what happened.15, my grandmother burst into 16. I sat in the backseat and did not know what to do. My grandfather was a highly intelligent, 17 man. He had never said a harsh word to me. He pulled 18 onto the shoulder of the highway. He stopped and got out of the car, 19 me, and after a bit of silence,he gently and 20 said, “Jeff, one day you’11 understand that it’s harder to be kind than clever.”

After Mom died, l began visiting Dad every morning before I went to work. He was frail and moved slowly, but he always had a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice on the kitchen table for me, along with an unsigned note reading," Drink your juice." Such a gesture, l knew, was as far as Dad had ever been able to go in expressing his love. In fact, l remember, as a kid I had questioned Mom "Why doesn't Dad love me?" Mom frowned, "Who said he doesn’t love you?" "Well, he never tells me, "I complained." He never tells me either," she said, smiling. " But look how hard he works to take care of us, to buy us food and clothes, and to pay for this house. That's how your father tells us he loves us. "

I nodded slowly. I understood in my head, but not in my heart. l still wanted my father to put his arms around me and tell me he loved me. Dad owned and operated a small scrap (片) metal business, and after school I often hung around while he worked. Dad handled scrap steel into a device that chopped it as cleanly as a butcher chops a rack of ribs. The machine looked like a giant pair of scissors, with blades thicker than my father's body. If he didn’t feed those terrifying blades just right, he risked serious injury. "Why don' t you hire someone to do that for you?" Mom asked Dad one night as she bent over him and rubbed his aching shoulders with a strong smelling liniment. "Why don’t you hire a cook?" Dad asked, giving her one of his rare smiles.

Many years later, during my first daily visit, after drinking the juice my father had squeezed for me. l walked over, hugged him and said, "I love you, Dad." From then on I did this every morning. My father never told me how he felt about my hugs, and there was never any expression on his face when I gave them.

1.What would be the best title for the passage?

A.My father never loved me                B.I just couldn't understand my father

C.My hard-working father                  D.Silent fatherly love

2.The author’s father always prepared a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice for him because____.

A.that was the author's favorite

B.that was a gesture of love

C.the author was always complaining

D.he was sure the author would be thirsty
