Dear son,
The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.
If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I spent 31 it to you. If, when I speak to you, I 32 the same things thousand and one times, do not 33 me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story 34 you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a 35 , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I 36 , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my 37 little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking( 嘲弄 ) smile. I taught you 38 to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life…. When at some moment I lose the memory or the 39 of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not bee nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you 40 to me.
If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well 41 I need to and when not. When my 42 legs do not allow me to walk, give me your 43 , the same way I did when you gave your first 44 . And when someday I say to you that I do not want to 45 any more ---- that I want to rest forever, do not get 46 . Someday you will understand.
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that, despite my mistakes, I always wanted the 47 thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent( 无可奈何 ) for seeing me 48 you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you 49 living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and 50 . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
I love you, Son.
Your father

网友回答
(答案→)B
解析：
【小题1】B spend some time doing something表示花费时间做某事。
【小题2】C 根据下文中的“the same things thousand and one times”可知这里应该是重复(repeat)。
【小题3】A 句意为：如果当我跟你说话的时候，老是重复同样的事情，不要打断我，听我说就行。根据句意可知用interrupt，其他选项不符合句意。
【小题4】D 句意为：当你小的时候，我不得不跟你读很多遍故事，直到你睡觉。根据句意应该用until。
【小题5】C根据下文可知是洗澡，have a shower是“沐浴、洗澡”的意思
【小题6】B句意为：记住，为了让你洗澡，我不得不追着你，编造各种借口。invent是“编造、虚构”的意思。
【小题7】A 句意为：当我对于新的技术不知道的时候，你要给我点时间。根据句意不难选出A项。
【小题8】C 句意为：我教会你如何做各种事情。
【小题9】D news是“消息、新闻”的意思；attitude是“态度”的意思；material是“材料”的意思；thread是“线、头绪、思路”的意思；句意为：当我有时候失去记忆的时候，或者说话时不知道思路，给我时间去想。根据句意应该选择thread。
【小题10】B 根据上文可知，父亲希望儿子跟他待在一起，听他说话。只有listen可以表达老人的心声。
【小题11】D 句意为：如果我不想吃饭，不要强迫我，我自己知道什么时候需要吃，什么时候不需要吃。
【小题12】A 句意为：当我疲劳走不动的时候，请你帮助我。走不动的时候，自然是累了，故本题选择tired。
【小题13】C give somebody a hand是帮助的意思。
【小题14】A句意为：当你跨出第一步的时候，我也是这样帮助你的。your first step是第一步的意思。
【小题15】B 根据破折号后面的内容“that I want to rest forever”可知。
【小题16】D 句意为：总有一天你会发现，尽管我会犯错误，但我想要让你得到最好的东西……。故用despite。
【小题17】C 句意为：总有一天你会发现，尽管我会犯错误，但我想要让你得到最好的东西，并且努力为你做准备。故用best。
【小题18】A 根据后面一句话“You must be next to me”，可知应该选near。
【小题19】B 句意为：帮助我就像你开始长大我帮你的时候一样。
【小题20】D 根据全文可知，父亲希望儿子对他有耐心，理解。
