A. buy a ring for his friend

B. make a call to his friend

C. go to the telephone company

A. the old man and the boy B. the Americans

C. the British D. the French

答案B

　　Most Chinese people these days know what it is like to have an "English teacher", since almost all pupils study English from their third year. Usually that first English teacher will be a young and lovely lady in primary school. But my first English teacher is none other than my father. Looking back, I can see that, when I was only a little girl, he created an English environment by providing me with flashcards, fun English-language toys and even dolls which can sing English songs!My interest in English had certainly been awakened(唤起)when I began to learn English at school. Just imagine, he went a step further and asked me to learn New Concept English by myself!I was confused and even angry. I could not understand why a father could be so strict with his little girl. All the same, he never gave up and he gently insisted that I follow his ideas. At first, I read stories with tears in my eyes and I actually hated them because they were too difficult for me. In the end, I came to love the funny stories and, to be honest, my father was always there with a helping hand. I am sure that my English would never have got so far without his support. And that's why my father is not only my first English teacher but also my lifelong teacher. He is the one who awoke my interest, who gave me confidence and who offered me much needed help.
