While at the park one day, a woman sat down next to a man on a bench near a playground. “That’s my son over there,” she said, pointing to (指着) a little boy in a red sweater.
“He’s a fine looking boy,” the man said. “That’s my daughter on the bike in the white dress.” Then, looking at his watch, he called to his daughter: “We have to leave for home now, Melissa.”
“Just five more minutes, Dad,” Melissa said. “Please? Just five more minutes.”
The man nodded (点头) and Melissa went on riding her bike happily. Minutes passed and the father stood and called again to his daughter, “Time to go now?”
“Five more minutes, Dad,” Melissa said again. “Just five more minutes.”
The man smiled and said: “OK.”
“Oh, you really are a patient father,” said the woman.
The man smiled and then said: “Her older brother Tommy died (死) in a traffic accident last year while he was riding his bike near here,” the man said. “I never spent much time with Tommy and now I’d give anything for just five more minutes with him. I’ve vowed (发誓) not to make the same mistake with Melissa. She thinks she has five more minutes to ride her bike. The truth is, I get five more minutes to watch her play.”
The man’s daughter and her brother were playing at the park.
The man felt sorry that he didn’t give more of his time to his older son.
Melissa wanted to stay longer when her father asked her to go the first time.
Melissa agreed to go home when her father called her the second time.
The man learned a lot from Tommy’s death.

As a father, I always do my best to help my son, Peter. I like to help him with his study. I encourage him to join team sports. I send him to the summer camp if he wants to go. I also teach him to be both a good student and a useful man.
He used to make me feel proud. I often thought he was the best son and I was the best father in the world.
However, things changed two years ago. It was Peter’s 12th birthday. My wife and I bought him a computer as a present. We thought it was necessary for him to learn how to use a computer in the modern world. We knew that some children were addicted (上瘾的) to computer games and that they didn’t study or work at all. Someone said that computers and the Internet were bad for children, but I didn’t worry about it. I trusted (信任) my son. I believed that he could control himself. Peter did very well at first. He played computer games, but for only two hours every week. Most of the time he studied or wrote articles on the computer. We felt very happy to see that.
When we finally learned that Peter was also addicted to computer games, it was too late. He didn’t like studying at all. He no longer joined team sports. Sometimes we even couldn’t find him at night. He spent several days and nights at the Internet cafe. We tried everything to help him, but nothing worked. What should we do?
Why did the writer think his son was the best in the past?

How old is Peter now?

What did the writer buy for his son as a birthday present two years ago?

How long did Peter play computer games at first?

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

New York is one of (A)_______ (excite) cities in the world.
You might want to do some shopping in New York. Fifth Avenue is probably New York’s most famous shopping street, but if you go, be prepared to “window shop” only. This is shopping for the rich. There are other, less expensive shopping areas（区域）nearby, and you’ll soon (B)come across famous stores such as Bloomingdales, Macy’s and FAO Schwartz.
And if you’ve brought your rollerblades, then a visit to Central Park is a must. This is a large, open park right in the middle of Manhattan, but if you thought that people came here to relax, sits down for a few minutes and get away from the rush of New York life, then you’d be wrong. Nobody sits in Central Park: they run, jog（慢跑）, and most of all they rollerblade.
When you leave New York, you might be tired, even poor and overweight, but the one thing you won’t be is bored!
