Returning from a trip overseas, I sensed that something was wrong between Keith, one of my two sons, and me. So I asked him, “Keith, have I done anything that really 1 your feeling?”
Immediately, he said, “Yes. Last Christmas you promised us a special 2 that I really wanted but you never gave it to me.”
The 3 was that I’d pletely forgotten about it. I 4 , “Is there anything else I’ve done wrong, but didn’t apologized for?”
Again, his 5 was immediate, “Remember last Christmas when Mom said you had to go to the 6 because Stephen was going to be born? You left us at home and 7 in a hurry. Remember?”
“Well, you left and forgot the suitcase.” I couldn’t believe he 8 all the details! “After you came back from the hospital you were 9 . When you got home, the suitcase had been opened and everythinghad been thrown all over the place, and you 10 me.”
“And you didn’t do it?” I asked.
“No, I didn’t . I was just searching for my gift.”
My heart sank. I felt 11 . I hugged Keith and asked him to 12 me. His Honesty made me think of our other son, Kevin. Maybe I’d hurt his feelings, too. I went to ask him the same question. Kevin’s answer was as immediate as his 13 , “Last Christmas you promised us a special toy, but you forgot about it.”
Though Christmas had passed, I took my two sons to the store that day and bought them what I had promised. The 14 thing wasn’t the toy. The problem was I’d made a promise too 15 and didn’t keep it as their father.

网友回答
(答案→)B
解析：
【小题1】B根据文章第一句话中的“I sensed that something was wrong between Keith，one of my two sons，and me”可知，B项符合语境，即“我做了什么伤害你感情的事情了吗？”。第八段中的“I’d hurt his feelings，too”也是线索提示。
【小题1】D根据第八段最后一句中的“you promised us a special toy”可知。
【小题1】D fact表示“事实”，即“实际情况是，我完全忘记了这件事”。其他选项不合题意：challenge表示“挑战”；message表示“信息”；idea表示“想法”。
【小题1】C根据上下文可知，我是继续问Keith，我还做错过什么事情。
【小题1】B即对我上面问他的问题的回答，第八段中“Kevin answered as immediately as...”有提示。
【小题1】A根据这句话最后的“because Kate，my little sister，was going to be born”可知，A项符合语境：Kate要出生了，当然应该是去医院。第五段中“you came back from the hospital”也有提示。
【小题1】C set off意思是“出发，动身”，即动身去医院。其他几个词组不合语境。settle down意思是“安顿”；go on意思是“继续”；get up意思是“站起，起来”。
【小题1】D他竟然记得(remembered)所有的细节。
【小题1】A从下文可知，当“我”从医院回到家发现，箱子被打开了，里面的东西扔了一地，因此很生气(angry)。故A项符合语境。
【小题1】 B praise意思是“赞扬”；punish意思是“惩罚”；help意思是“帮助”；educate意思是“教育”。根据上文内容可知，只有B项符合语境。
【小题1】 A我感觉很难受。因此terrible符合语境。
【小题1】D forgive表示“原谅，谅解”。即请孩子谅解我对他的伤害(对他的错误惩罚)。
【小题1】B由文首的two sons可知应选B。Kevin的回答和他兄弟的回答一样快。
【小题1】C重要的（important）不是玩具。
【小题1】A lightly意思是“轻率地”。即“我以前很轻率地对孩子作出承诺，但却没有像他们的母亲那样信守诺言”。
