Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter（仇恨的）bout him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight As and unhappy with my boy friends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my fathers friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping ate on the street table, and laughed over my sons funny facial expressions. Gone was my fathers critical(挑剔的)air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, Im at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, Im delighted with my new friend. My dad in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.1、hy did the author feel bitter about her father when she was a young adult?AHe was silent most of the time BHe was too proud of himselfCHe expected too much of her DHe did not love his children2、When the author went out with her father on weekends, she would feel _.Asafe BsorryCtired Dnervous3、What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?AGentle and friendly BMore talkativeCMore critical DStrict and hard-working4、The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to _.Athe authors son Bthe friend of the authors fatherCthe authors father Dthe caf ownerText 2 Nearly every week, we hear news about the latest successes and failures in driverless vehicles.
