问题补充：
I grew up in a community called Estepona. I was 16 when one morning, Dad told me I could drive him into a 31village called Mijas, on condition that I took the car in to be 32at a nearby garage. I readily accepted. I drove Dad into Mijas, and 33to pick him up at 4 pm, then dropped off the car at the 34. With several hours to spare. I went to a theater. 35, when the last movie finished, it was six. I was two hours late!
I knew Day would be angry if he 36I’d been watching movies. So I decided not to tell him the truth. When I 37there I apologized for being late, and told him I’d 38as quickly as I could, but that the car had needed some major repairs. I’ll never forget the 39he gave me. “I’m disappointed you 40you have to lie to me, Jason.” Dad looked at me again. “When you didn’t 41. I called the garage to ask if there were any 42, and they told me you hadn’t yet picked up the car. ” I felt 43as I weakly told him the real reason. A 44passed through Dad as he listened attentively. “I’m angry with 45. I realize I’ve failed as a father. I’m going to walk home now and think seriously about 46I’ve gone wrong all these years.” “But Day, it’s 18 miles!” My protests and apologies were 47. Dad walked home that day. I drove behind him, 48him all the way, but he walked silently.
Seeing Dad in so much 49and emotional pain was my most painful experience. However, it was 50the most successful lesson. I have never lied since.

答案：
(答案→)C
解析：
【小题1】 C。由文中的But Dad, it’s 18 miles可知距离远，且其他三项均未在原文中有所提示，故选C。
【小题2】. D。service意为“修理、维修（机器）”，文意指把车送去检修。
【小题3】. D。promise意为“承诺、答应”，“我”向父亲承诺下午4点来接他。
【小题4】. C。根据上下文中父亲让“我”开车送他去Mijas，然后把车开去修车厂可知这里选C。
【小题5】. A。however意为“然而”，由上下文的内容可知此处表示转折，故选A。
【小题6】. B。find out意为“发现、查明”，句意：我想若是父亲知道我是一直在看电影，他会生气的。
【小题7】 D。由下文说晚了两小时，可知“我”是要急忙赶去，故选D。
【小题8】. D。start意为“开始”，leave意为“离开”，不符文章意思，故排除，arrive仅指到达的瞬间动作，也排除。
【小题9】. C。look意为“眼神”，由下文父亲再次看着“我”可知上父亲的眼神让“我”难以忘记。
【小题10】 D。feel意为“觉得、认为”，文意：我对你认为不得不对我说谎感到很失望。
【小题11】. A。turn up 意为“出现、露面”，父亲等了很久，“我”却仍未出现。
【小题12】. B。problem意为“问题、难题”，父亲是在担心出了什么问题。
【小题13】 A。ashamed意为“惭愧的”，frightened意为“害怕的”，nervous意为“紧张的”，surprised意为“吃惊的”，“我”对父亲说了谎，后来告诉他真相时自然会感到惭愧。
【小题14】 B。sadness意为“悲伤、难过”，父亲对“我”采取撒谎的方式而感到很难过。
【小题15】. B。根据后句I realize I’ve failed as a father可知父亲是对自己感到生气，故选B。
【小题16】 A。where指在哪里，原文中指父亲要反省自己在哪些地方错了。
【小题17】. B。meaningless意为“无意义的”，useless意为“无用的”，helpless意为“无助的”，worthless意为“无价值的”，父亲已下决心，我所做的也就变得毫无意义。
【小题18】 C。ask意为“要求”，persuade意为“劝说”，beg意为“乞求”，follow意为“跟随”，C项最符合文意，“我”犯了错，想求父亲上车。
【小题19】. A。相对于emotional(情感上的)的是physical(身体上)，由父亲采取步行回家的方式可知他还遭受了身体上的痛苦。
【小题20】. C。also意为“也……”，这件事是“我”最痛苦的经历，也是“我最成功的教训”。
