Returning from a trip overseas, I sensed that something was wrong between Keith, one of my two sons, and me. So I asked him, “Keith, have I done anything that really __1__your feeling?”
Immediately, he said, “Yes. Last Christmas you promised us a special    2   that I really wanted but you never gave it to me.”
The    3  was that I’d completely forgotten about it. I   4    , “Is there anything else I’ve done wrong, but didn’t apologized for?”
Again, his   5   was immediate, “Remember last Christmas when Mom said you had to go to the  6   because Stephen was going to be born? You left us at home and  7       in a hurry. Remember?”
“Well, you left and forgot the suitcase.” I couldn’t believe he  8    all the details! “After you came back from the hospital you were  9   . When you got home, the suitcase had been opened and everythinghad been thrown all over the place, and you   10  me.”
“And you didn’t do it?” I asked.
“No, I didn’t . I was just searching for my gift.”
My heart sank. I felt  11   . I hugged Keith and asked him to  12    me. His Honesty made me think of our other son, Kevin. Maybe I’d hurt his feelings, too. I went to ask him the same question. Kevin’s answer was as immediate as his  13   , “Last Christmas you promised us a special toy, but you forgot about it.”
Though Christmas had passed, I took my two sons to the store that day and bought them what I had promised. The  14   thing wasn’t the toy. The problem was I’d made a promise too  15    and didn’t keep it as their father.

解析【小題1】B根據文章第一句話中的“I sensed that something was wrong between Keith，one of my two sons，and me”可知，B項符合語境，即“我做了什么傷害你感情的事情了嗎？”。第八段中的“I’d hurt his feelings，too”也是線索提示。
【小題1】D根據第八段最后一句中的“you promised us a special toy”可知。
【小題1】D fact表示“事實”，即“實際情況是，我完全忘記了這件事”。其他選項不合題意：challenge表示“挑戰”；message表示“信息”；idea表示“想法”。
【小題1】C根據上下文可知，我是繼續問Keith，我還做錯過什么事情。
【小題1】B即對我上面問他的問題的回答，第八段中“Kevin answered as immediately as...”有提示。
【小題1】A根據這句話最后的“because Kate，my little sister，was going to be born”可知，A項符合語境：Kate要出生了，當然應該是去醫院。第五段中“you came back from the hospital”也有提示。
【小題1】C set off意思是“出發，動身”，即動身去醫院。其他幾個詞組不合語境。settle down意思是“安頓”；go on意思是“繼續”；get up意思是“站起，起來”。
【小題1】D他竟然記得(remembered)所有的細節。
【小題1】A從下文可知，當“我”從醫院回到家發現，箱子被打開了，里面的東西扔了一地，因此很生氣(angry)。故A項符合語境。
【小題1】 B praise意思是“贊揚”；punish意思是“懲罰”；help意思是“幫助”；educate意思是“教育”。根據上文內容可知，只有B項符合語境。
【小題1】 A我感覺很難受。因此terrible符合語境。
【小題1】D forgive表示“原諒，諒解”。即請孩子諒解我對他的傷害(對他的錯誤懲罰)。
【小題1】B由文首的two sons可知應選B。Kevin的回答和他兄弟的回答一樣快。
【小題1】C重要的（important）不是玩具。
【小題1】A lightly意思是“輕率地”。即“我以前很輕率地對孩子作出承諾，但卻沒有像他們的母親那樣信守諾言”。
