阅读下列短文,从每题所给A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最恰当的答案。 When I was 18, one morning, my father told me to drive him into a town, about 18 miles away. I had just learned to drive, so I agreed with pleasure. First, we came to the town. Then I took the car to a nearby garage to have it repaired and promised to pick Dad up at 4pm. Because I had a few hours to spend, I decided to go to the cinema. However, I became so interested in the film that I forgot the time. When the last film finished, it was 6 o’clock. I was afraid Dad would be angry and never let me drive again, so I drove back quickly to meet Dad and made an excuse for my being late, I ‘ll never forget the cry he gave me. “I’m disappointed that you feel you have to lie to me, Mike. I’m angry, not with you but with myself. I have failed because I ‘ve brought up a son who can’t even tell the truth to his own father, I’m going to walk home now and think seriously about where I have gone wrong all these years.” Dad began walking along the road. I begged all the way, and I drove behind him for 18 miles, at a speed of 5 miles an hour. It was the most unforgettable lesson. I have never lied to him ever since. 36.
