东镇中学高三英语十月份测试题 第二部分 阅读理解 (共20小题，每小题3分，满分60分) A When I was a kid, I was close to my dad, but as I grew older, my dad and I grew further apart. We always had totally different opinions.

When we are on the lake fishing, it is like two kids enjoying life. It is far better to find a way to put the unhappy past behind.
