The sun was going sown beyond great banks of cloud which was full of orange-pink light. It would
usually be time for Joe to be going in but he didn’t want to go back if Aunt Daisy and Uncle Ted were
still there, because his mother would only send him straight to bed out of the ways. So he turned away
from home and walked down the land past the football field, kicking a stone before him at the risk of
6/7

scratching the toes of his best brown shoes. A couple of dogs, one large, black and smooth-haired, the
other smaller with a long block and white coat, played on the edge of field, running round , jumping at
each other and sometimes rolling over and over together, totally content in each other’s company.
Joe watched them for a moment or two and walked on. Twenty minutes later he was on the riverside
and half-way round the circle he had set out to walk from the town and back again. On his way he had
passed several couples and one or two family groups returning from their Sunday evening walk, but now
there was no one bout except one man resting on the grass between the path and the river bank. When he
realized that is was his father, his surprise was so great that he stopped. Then his father, who had been
leaning on his arm and looking into the river, looked round, but did not seem surprised to see him.
“Hello, Joe,” he said dully. He went back to staring at the river. The fact that he was wearing his best
clothes somehow added to the strangeness of his sitting there alone like this, and as Joe looked at him, he

was conscious for the first time of a sense of his father and son. He saw, for the first time, his father’s
world, while his father belonged in the centre of his, Joe’s world. And things were far from well in his
father’s world, he knew.
He moved a few steps nearer, and his father did not look at him. “They’re all at home, wondering
where you are,” said Joe.
76. Joe didn’t go straight home because he ____________________.
A. half-way to the town B. wanted to find his father first
C. along the bank of the river D. didn’t want to see Aunt Daisy and Uncle Ted
77. Instead of going home Joe went ___________________
A. on to the football field B. through some fields
C. half-way to the town D. along the bank of the river
78. When Joe had completed half his intended walk he ___________________.
A. went back to the town B. passed a couple of people
C. saw a man sitting by himself D. met some family groups
79. When Joe’s father saw Joe, he ______________________
A. sat down on the grass B. went back to the river
C. looked round at the river D. didn’t seem very interested in him
80. That evening Joe realized that _____________________.
A. he hardly knew his father at all. B. his father had a life of his own.
C. he had never really loved his father. D. he had not seen his father wearing those clothes before.
