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.
