Question

As a young man，Alan was a skilled artist with a wife and two fine sons．One night，his elder son developed a bad stomachache．Thinking it was only some common  intestinal （肠道） disorder，neither Alan nor his wife took the condition very seriously．But the boy died suddenly that night．
Since he thought the death was caused by his carelessness，he always felt guilty．To make matters worse，his wife left him a short time later，leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son．The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than   Alan could stand，and he turned to alcohol for help．Soon Alan became an alcoholic（嗜酒者）．So Alan began to lose everything he owned---his land，house，etc．Finally  Alan died alone in a small bar．When I Heard of Alan's death，I thought，"What a totally wasted life!What a complete failure!"
As time went by，I began to revalue my earlier rough judgment．I knew Alan's now adult son，Ernie．He is one of the kindest，most caring，most loving men I have ever known．I saw the love between Ernie and his children，thinking that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere．
I hadn't heard Ernie talked much about his father．One day，I worked up my courage to ask him what on earth his father had done so that he became such a special person．Ernie said quietly，"As a child until I left home at 18，Alan came into my room every night，gave me a kiss and said，"love you，son．"
Tears came to my eyes as I realized what I had been a fool to judge Alan as a failure．He had not left any material wealth behind，but he was a"real"father in his son's heart．

88．Did Alan and his wife take their son's stomachache seriously？___
89．How did Alan feel after his elder son died suddenly？___
90．Why did Alan begin to lose what he had had？___
91．What made Ernie such a kind and caring person？___
92．When did the writer change his judgment about Alan？___
93．What did the writer think of Alan as a father in the end？Give the reason．___．

Answer 1

答案：88．No．they didn't．细节理解题．根据Thinking it was only some common intestinal （肠道） disorder，neither Alan nor his wife took the condition very seriously．认为它仅仅是一些常见的肠道疾病，Alan和他的妻子都没有认真点的对待这种情况．故答案为No．they didn't．
89．He felt guilty．细节理解题．根据Since he thought the death was caused by his carelessness，he always felt guilty．因为他认为死亡是由于他的粗心造成的，他总是感到愧疚．故答案为He felt guilty．
90．Because he turned to alcohol for help．细节理解题．根据The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than Alan could stand，and he turned to alcohol for help．Soon Alan became an alcoholic（嗜酒者）．So Alan began to lose everything he owned---his land，house，etc．两种情况的伤害和痛苦超过了 Alan 能承受的极限，他转向酒精的帮助．艾伦很快变成了一个酒鬼，所以艾伦开始失去他拥有的一切--他的土地，房子，等等．故答案为 Because he turned to alcohol for help．
91．His father's love．细节理解题．根据Ernie said quietly，"As a child until I left home at 18，Alan came into my room every night，gave me a kiss and said，"love you，son．"
Ernie平静地说："作为一个孩子，直到我18岁离开家，Alan 每天晚上来到我的房间，给我一个吻，说：‘爱你，儿子．'"可知Ernie能成为这样的宽容和体贴的人，是因为他父亲对他的爱．故答案为His father's love．
92．After he talked with Ernie．细节理解题．根据当我和Ernie谈完话之后我眼含泪水，我意识到我曾对Alan做出了错误的判断．故答案为After he talked with Ernie．
93．He thought Alan was a real loving father．Because he didn't leave his youngerson alone like his wife．His son became one of the kindest，most caring，most loving men．根据整篇内容可知最后作者知道Alan作为一个父亲他没有留下任何物质财富，但他在儿子的心中是一个"真正的"父亲．他没有像他的妻子一样留下小儿子孤独一人．他还通过对儿子的爱使儿子成为了一个最善良的，最关心、最可爱的男人．故答案为 He thought Alan was a real loving father．Because he didn't leave his youngerson alone like his wife．His son became one of the kindest，most caring，most loving men．
