In my growing up, I do not recall(回忆) hearing the words “I love you” from my father. When your father never says them to you when you are a child, it gets harder for him to say those words as he gets older.
To tell the truth，I could not honestly remember when I had last said those words to him, either. I decided to make the first move though it was not very easy for me. After some hesitation，in our next phone conversation I spoke out the words, “Dad… I love you!”
There was a silence at the other end and he slowly replied, “Well, same back at you！”

Rowing（划船） is a good sport for people. The sport is not so commonly played in China, but almost half of all American high schools have rowing teams. Recently, the school where I study had a rowing season
that gave me many great experiences.
During the season, we practiced rowing a lot. We got up at six every Saturday and practiced for three hours on the river. Each one of us had an oar (桨)，and we each rowed one oar with both hands. Together we pulled the oars, and oars pushed the water back so the boat would move forward. After three hours of practice, we felt very tired, because rowing is a very physical sport. When you row, you do a lot of work with your thighs(大腿) and back.
Though the practices were very hard, I chose to do them because I like the pleasure that hard work brings to me. At every practice, I always did my best. Even when the coaches(教练) were not there, I kept rowing hard with my hands because I wanted to find out how well I could do. In order to move the boat fast, everyone on the team must keep the same pace(节奏), so we needed to work together.
The hard work I did during the rowing helped me develop my teamwork qualities. The experience also taught me that if you want to get something, you need to pay something first. As Americans like to say, “No pains no gains!”
51. Rowing is a sport that .
A. is played by few students in American high schools.
B. students practice a lot during the rowing season in America. C. is also very popular in China.

53. In order to move fast, the team members should________________.
A. use their hands to push the water B. use their thighs and backs less C. row at the same speed.
54. Why does the writer choose to practice rowing?
A. Because rowing can help to get good grades.
B. Because the writer enjoys the happiness after hard work. C. Because rowing can make people become famous. 55. What can we infer（推理） from the passage?
A. The writer likes to challenge himself and he has learnt a lot from this sport. B. Everyone will be very successful if he learns to row. C. Rowing is a hard sport that is not suitable for us.
