“Dad, I am coming back.” These five words changed my world.
My daughter, Amy, had left home seven years before to live in San Francisco shortly after her brother Matthew's suicide. Over the years, we had talked on the phone, written letters, and spent time together during her infrequent trips back East. Whenever she came home, however, there was always a tension between us. Because of my work, I had been under a great deal of pressure when she was growing up, and I would occasionally "pop my cork（拔瓶塞）." Amy was a little afraid of me.
It was late October when Amy arrived after driving across the United States. Almost immediately, we got into a conflict over some minor problem. I became worried that I might not be able to handle living with her. I had accepted an early retirement incentive and would be home a great deal. Amy would also be there working as a freelance writer for a publishing company in California.
Before Amy arrived, I had begun writing a book about my job experience. I knew the manuscript （手稿） needed much editing. Amy agreed to help me, and we set up a weekly meeting in which we went over her suggested changes. It was rough for me in the beginning because it was hard to accept that my work was far from perfect. Week after week, she skillfully helped me to improve my work.
Through my writing, she began to understand why I was under so much strain （壓力） when she was little. Also, I was told she suffered from the pain of dealing with depression.
Amy said to me one morning, “Your book has saved my life. I was beginning to wonder if anything was worthwhile. Using my skills to help you with your manuscript has been my anchor （精神支柱） over the last six months.”
“Amy, you have inspired me with a great love of writing, and an even greater love of a fantastic editor, who just happens to be my daughter,” I answered.

A．kind B．hard – working C．irresponsible D．bad – tempered

A．quarreled a lot with her about his book
B．decided to retire as quickly as possible
C．thought he couldn’t get on well with her
D．tried hard to stop her from staying at home

B．her father’s book is of no value
C．it took her father three years to finish his book
D．she was pessimistic （悲觀的） before helping her father
