    So I’m driving the lovely and patient older daughter to work. At 7 a. m., she pushes the seat

warmer button as her new Honda zooms across L. A., the City of Padded Shoulders.

"Oh, look, I’m low on gas," she says.

First, we pick up her boss, then we pick up her other boss. They are all headed to Staples Center for some awards show. My daughter does something in public relations, I’m not sure what. But when this show comes along, she gets very busy.

"In the past two nights I’ve gotten, like, seven hours sleep," she notes, the implication being that I sleep all the time, which is pretty much true.

In Los Feliz, a dashboard light confirms that we are, indeed, low on fuel. This does not perturb my daughter.

"Don’t worry, we’ll get there," she says.

My daughter says nothing about getting back home, which is my job. I’ve just agreed to drop her off, so she can avoid traffic later. My task is simple, though now full of uncertainty.

I don’t know how I ended up dropping my daughter and her bosses off at 7 a.m. on a Sunday. I just know that J.D. Salinger may now be dead, but I still feel like Holden Caulfield -- at the mercy of too many yammering adults.

Now, I’ve had mixed luck with adults.

Apparently, my daughter’s job in PR is to keep everyone happy while telling the truth as much as possible. I sent her to college to study that. Now she is an expert.

"After you drop us off, you can get gas," my daughter assures me.

I have been her chauffeur for 26 years. By the time she was 3, I’d snapped her into a car seat some 14,000 times. I took her to seventh-grade dances, ski trips, college.

Even after all that, we continue to have a civil relationship, sort of a queen-mum-and-her-

driver sort of dynamic. When I screw up, she just raises her pretty chin and snorts. It’s very British.

By the way, my daughter now has a nicer car than I do, which is a sign she is doing well. Or, as with so many young people, she is up to her hoop earrings in consumer debt.

1．Which of the following statements in NOT true about the author’s daughter?

         A．She is fashionable.     B．She always tells the truth.

         C．She is doing well in her work.    D．She lives a fast-paced life.

2．The author’s tone suggests that_________.

         A．he is feeling left behind when his daughter has grown up and begun adult life

         B．he is content with his grown daughter

         C．he does not like his daughter’s bosses

         D．he will not believe his daughter any more

3．It can be concluded from the passage that_________.

         A．the author won’t have any difficulty in getting gas

         B．the daughter cares for her father a lot

         C．the author has done a lot to help his daughter get where she is 

         D．the British people have pretty chin and snort often

4．By referring to J. D. Salinger and Holden Caulfield, the author is most probably_________.

         A．recalling his daughter’s childhood

         B．mentioning his family members who are now dead

         C．comparing his situation to a scene in a famous literary work

         D．telling a story about his daughter’s friends

5．What is the best title for this passage?

         A．A PR’s Busy Life

         B．Relationship Between Dad and Daughter

         C．A Loving Father

         D．Go Ahead and Fill Her up, Dad
