I don’t think a day goes by when I don’t think of my father. He died twenty﹣one years ago when I was twenty﹣six. He was a good man , but I hardly saw him around home, for he ran a big company. I secretly wished something could bring him closer to me.

It wasn’t until he became seriously ill that we really got to know each other and had a place in each other’s lives. After his near death and many operations, I was trained as his nurse to take care of him. Although the job seemed boring and tiring in certain people’s eyes, I liked it. Taking care of him seemed to reduce the pain of his absence from my younger life. I enjoyed his company and attention and, though through a sad situation, I was finally getting my fill（滿足）.

Now I am a dad myself, but certainly not a workaholic as my father. Although I work away from my home, I always have my meals with my family. Father’s Day is coming I still have the pencil holder made from a decorated tin sitting on my desk. It’s a gift from my only son. Each year, the gift is something different and each year, I couldn’t care less about the gift itself. You see, the gift I enjoy is the pleasure of my son’s company and knowing that we have a place in each other’s lives.

At heart , all men know their fathers are important. Want a great Father’s Day? Tell your dad you love him and give your kid a hug today－before Father’s Day actually arrives.

1.When the writer was a kid,_______.

A. his father didn’t like him

2.By looking after his father, the writer got a chance to___________.

A. get close to his father

B. practice his nursing skills

C. show people that he loved his father

D. reduce the pain that he brought to his father

3.From this passage we can guess that a workaholic is likely to be a person who_________.

A. is strict about everything he does

B. is difficult to get along with

C. never has meals at home

D. spends almost all his time working

Do you often lose things? Don’t worry. Now a new tool that can be connected to any object you might lose may be the way to solve your problem. The Tile, a small square linked up to your iphone or ipad by means of Bluetooth, lets you see how close you are to your missing item, within a 50-to-150-foot range. If the item goes out of your phone’s 150-foot range, it can still be found on other smart phones with the same app.

When you drive the app on your phone, it shows you, with green bars that increase or decrease, how close or far away you are from the Tile. You can also program it to make a sound when you get close to the Tile. And you can link up your phone with up to ten Tiles. And if your lost object—a dog, for example, or a stolen bike—go out of your own phone’s 150-foot Bluetooth range, you can set it as a “l(fā)ost item”. If any of the phones with the Tile app comes within range of your lost item, a message will be sent to your phone, telling you its position. The Tile app also has the function to remember where it last saw your Tile, so that you can easily find where you left it.

Since the Tiles use Bluetooth rather than GPS, they are never out of battery or needn’t to be charged, and they work for one year before needing to be replaced. And the app works with all generations of iPhones and iPads.

For further information, please visit www. tile666.com.

1.What can the Tile app help you ?

A. To use your phone more wisely

B. To find your missing items

C. To save your phone’s power

D. To find other phone users

2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The Tile needs to be charged after a year of use.

B. One smart phone can only be linked up with one Tile.

C. A missing item can’t be found if it goes out of your phone’s Bluetooth range.

D. The Tile cannot be linked up with a phone without Bluetooth.

3.What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?

A. What the Tile app is.

B. The advantages of the Tile app.

C. How the Tile app works.

D. Why the Tile app was created.

4.Where does the passage probably come from?

A. A health report. B. An advertisement.

C. A personal diary D. Science fiction.
