9．I grew up with a fat dad-450pounds at his heaviest．Every week he would try a new diet，and my family ended up eating whatever strange food he was trying at that moment．
After my third grade year，my dad landed a life changing job in Manhattan．My mom，my little sister and I had to move away from our hometown，Chicago，and leave my grandmother and her beautiful food behind．
Leaving my grandmother was far more frightening than the move to New York City．I here would be no more special weekends at my grandmother's house，the only place I can remember feeling happy，safe and nourished （有營養(yǎng)的）．It was what I desired．In this new city，I felt extremely alone and lost and I missed my grandmother terribly．
My grandmother knew just how I felt-and she knew the cure．Every week，she would send me a card with a 20bill，a recipe and a list of what to buy at the market．It kept us bonded，and her recipes filled my body and soul．
Over the years，I have grown to better understand my father's struggles with weight and the toll （代價） it took on him and those who love him．I have come to realize he was driven not by vanity （自負(fù)）or selfishness as much as by a deep pain．And in spite of growing up in such an unhealthy eating environment （or perhaps because of it）．a(chǎn)s an adult I found a passion and a career as a nutrition consultant．
Today，my father weighs 220pounds and is a vegan （素食者）．How he got there is a story I hope to share in the coming weeks．More importantly，food is no longer a barrier that keeps us apart but a bridge that keeps us connected．There is nothing my dad enjoys more than talking with me about dietary theories and his weight loss victories．And now I am the one regularly sending recipe cards to my father's house，just as my grandmother did for me．

51C推理判斷題．根據(jù)第五段第一、二句"Over the years…I have come to realize…as much as by a deep pain．"可知，這些年來，作者逐漸理解了父親，意識到他苦苦地與自己的體重作斗爭，不是虛榮和自私，而是對于自己的體重感到深深的痛苦．由此可知，C項(xiàng)內(nèi)容與題意相符．答案：C小題2：
52B細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二、三段內(nèi)容可知，作者和家人一起搬到了曼哈頓，離開了祖母還有她做的精致美食，以致作者非常想念祖母，特別渴望去她的家里品嘗美味佳肴．答案：B
53D細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第五段最后一句"And in spite of growing up in such an unhealthy eating environment…I found a passion and a career as a nutrition consultant．"可知，盡管在一個如此不健康的飲食環(huán)境中成長（也許正是因?yàn)檫@一點(diǎn)），作者長大后成為了一個營養(yǎng)咨詢師．由此可知，作者童年的經(jīng)歷給他留下了很深的印象，因此，作者后來成為一名營養(yǎng)咨詢師．答案：D
