There once was an old man aged 50．who had a lazy son aged 30. The son couldn’t earn his own living(谋生), and still lived on his old father for food and clothing.
The old man was very worried about him. So he took him to the fortune teller(算命先生)to have his fortune told．The father and son both believed what the fortune teller said —the father would live to 80 and the son to 62.
After they found out how long they were going to live, the son was very sad. His father forted(安慰)him, “Don’t be so sad! You are only 30 now, and still have 32 years of good days ahead of you.”
“I’m not worrying about my own age. It’s your age which causes me great worry,” the son said.
The father was greatly moved and said, “Don’t worry about me so much. I’ve got 30 years ahead of me too．”
“I’m not worried about your age either,” said the son. “I have found out that you’11 die two years earlier than I. So who will I depend on in the two years after your death?”

(答案→)C
解析：
【小题1】本文第一行最后和第二行有一句The son couldn’t earn his own living(谋生), and still lived on his old father for food and clothing.意思为老人的儿子不能靠自己谋生，仍然依靠他年老的父亲给他提供食物和衣服，故本题选C。
【小题2】本文第五段老人所说的话表示的含义是，根据算命先生所说的话，我能活到80岁，那么在我前面还有30年可活，故ahead of表示在……前面的意思，与in front of近义，故本题选C。
【小题3】老人感动的一句是第四段儿子所说的一句话“I’m not worrying about my own age. It’s your age which causes me great worry,”意思为儿子不担心自己的年龄，是父亲你的年龄给我带来担心。父亲认为这句话是儿子对他的担心，故本题选A。
【小题4】本文最后一段为儿子所说的话，含义为，我并不是担心父亲你的年龄，担心的是你比我早死二年，在你死过之后我将依靠谁而生存，所以儿子担心的是父亲死过之后，自己没有钱买食物和衣服，故本题选B。
