I had been u【1】 about being late on this Big Day but the bus, which moved slowly all the way, woke up and almost galloped for the last half mile. Dad and I jumped off and ran to 171 High Street. I had e【2】 a shiny building but what I saw was a broken ancient door. And the room into which we all crowded was dark and didn’t have enough chairs. A boy was p【3】 his audition piece loudly, unaware of everyone else in the room. Most of the kids were in jeans, but a few dressed seriously cool as if they spent every day on film sets and lunching with s【4】 . I felt a bit embarrassed about my dressing. A girl called us away, one by one, to be auditioned. I breathed deeply and slowly as I had learned to do-ever since my first part in the school play, when I was extremely nervous and n【5】 forgot everything I had memorized. I repeated my speech to myself with all the pauses and emphasizes in the right places. I knew I was good. I really wanted this part, I wanted to pay Dad back for all the work he’d done for me. I wanted to make him proud of me. And I know I could do it. Suddenly - there it was my n【6】 ! I followed the girl down a corridor into a large room with three men and a woman sitting behind a long table. The woman looked up and said hello. Then the middle man looked up and stared hard at me. "How tall are you?" he asked. “I’m 1.6 metres.” I said, trembling slightly. The man looked at the woman and I saw him s【7】 his head. The woman turned to me and said. “I’m so sorry. That’s just a bit too tall for this part. They should have told you”

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题） I grew up in a small town in Italy. One morning when I was 16, Dad told me I could drive him into a village, about 18 miles away, if I took the car to be serviced （保养）at a nearly garage. Thinking that I had just learned to drive, and hardly had the chance to use the car I agreed happily. I drove Dad into the village and made sure to pick him up at 4 pm. Then I drove to a nearby garage and dropped off the car. Because there were still a few hours to be left, I decided to watch movies at a theatre near the garage. But, when the last movie finished, I was two hours late. I was afraid of the result being late. I thought if dad knew what I had done，he could never let me drive again. So when I drove up the place where we had planned to meet and saw dad waiting patiently on the comer. I told him that I had come as quickly as I could, but the car had needed some special repairs. “I'm terribly sorry that you have to lie to me, Janson.” “What do you mean. Dad? I'm telling the truth.” “I called the garage to ask if there were any problems, and they told me that you had not yet picked up the car. So I know there were no problems with the car. I’m angry not with you but with myself. You see. I’ve failed as a father, so I’m going to walk home now and think carefully about where I have gone wrong all these years.” “But it’s dark, and it's 18 miles to walk home.” I pleased（请求）all the way, telling him how sorry I was. But nothing helped. I had to drive behind him for 18 miles. It was one of the most painful moments I had ever had. But it was the best lesson. 【1】How old was Jason when the story happened? _________________________________________________________________________ 【2】What was Jason let to do if he took the car to be serviced at a garage? _________________________________________________________________________ 【3】Where did Jason go after he dropped off the car at a garage? _________________________________________________________________________ 【4】According to Jason, what might be the result of his being late? _________________________________________________________________________ 【5】How did Dad punish（惩罚） himself for not doing well enough as a father? _________________________________________________________________________ 【6】What could Jason learn from his father’s action? __________________________________________________________________________
