　　.阅读理解

　　A

　　Areas of Tokyo which had usually been packed with

　　office workers like sushi(寿司) restaurants and noodle

　　shops were unusually quiet. Many schools were closed.

　　Companies allowed workers to stay home. Long queues

　　formed at airports.

　　As Japanese authorities struggled to avoid disaster

　　at an earthquake­battered nuclear plant 240 km to the

　　north, parts of Tokyo resembled a ghost town. Many

　　people stocked up on food and stayed indoors or simply

　　left, transforming one of the world's biggest and most

　　populated cities into a shell of its usual self.

　　“Look, it's like Sunday —no cars in town，” said

　　Kazushi Arisawa, a 62­year­old taxi driver, as he waited

　　for more than an hour outside an office tower where he

　　usually finds customers within minutes. “I can't make

　　money today. ”

　　Radiation in Tokyo has been negligible,_ briefly

　　touching three times the normal rate on Tuesday, smaller than a dental X­ray. On Wednesday, winds over the

　　Fukushima (福岛) nuclear­power plant blew out to sea,

　　keeping levels close to normal. But that does little to relieve public anxiety about a 40­year­old nuclear plant

　　with three reactors in partial meltdown (熔毁)and a

　　fourth with spent atomic fuel exposed to the atmosphere

　　after last Friday's earthquake and tsunami.

　　“Radiation moves faster than we do，” said Steven

　　Swanson, a 43­year­old American who moved to Tokyo

　　in December with his Japanese wife to help with her

　　family business.He is staying indoor but is tempted to

　　leave.“It's scary.It's a triple threat with the earthquake, tsunami and the nuclear radiation leaks.It

　　makes you wonder what's next. ”

　　“Is there anything else you need, honey？” my dad asked

　　me as he put three twenty­dollar bills in my hand. I was traveling

　　back home from a family visit, and after treating me to breakfast

　　and filling my car with gas, it was obvious that my dad wanted

　　to make sure that I would be okay on the road.

　　“No, Dad. You've done so much already. Thank you！”

　　I was overwhelmed once again by his kind acts of providing

　　everything I needed, despite the fact I just turned 40. Yet I

　　realize that in my father's eyes, I will always be his little girl.

　　He takes deep pleasure in knowing his children are all right.

　　Now that he has enough money, he loves to give whenever he

　　sees a need.

　　But this was not always the case.

　　Divorced from my

　　mother when I was 11, my dad couldn't be around his kids as

　　often as he would have liked.

　　Money was also tight; even

　　weekend visits were rare. However, my dad stayed in constant

　　communication with us and made sure he was involved in our

　　lives. Though he couldn't always be there in person, I knew

　　he was only a phone call away. I could always count on that.

　　Even now, almost 30 years later, I treasure knowing that

　　I can pick up the phone and call Dad, and he'll be there for

　　me. I have a wonderful husband, but that hasn't changed how

　　Dad sees me. I'm still his child and he loves to see that my

　　needs are met.

　　I remember a time when I was shopping in a hardware

　　store(五金店) with Dad. I mentioned my plans to paint one

　　wall in my house. Well, that's all it took for Dad to take

　　action. By the time I got to the checkout(结账) line, all the

　　supplies I picked out were put out of my hands and placed

　　with things he bought.

　　Then there was the time when I took him with me to do

　　some grocery shopping for just a few “ items”. By the time we

　　were finished, my shopping cart was full of groceries from

　　every shelf in the store! My sister and I joke that if you don't

　　want Dad to buy it for you, avoid even mentioning you want

　　something.
