问题    My father taught me a lot about life, especially its hard times. I remembered one of his lessons one night when I was ready to quit a political campaign I was losing, and wrote about it in my diary.
   Tired, feeling the many months of struggle, I went up to my study to make some notes. I was looking for a pencil in the back of my desk drawer, where things stored up for years, when I turned up one of father’s old business cards that he was so proud of: Andrea Cuomo, Italian-American Groceries-Fine Imported Products.  Then I thought about how he dealt with hard circumstances. A thousand pictures flashed through my mind, but one scene came sharply into view.
    We had just moved to Holliswood, New York, from our apartment behind the store. We had our own house for the first time; it had some land around it, even trees. One, in particular, was a great green pine that must have been 40 feet tall.               
   Less than a week ’after we moved in, there was a terrible storm. We came home from the store that night to find the pine pulled almost totally from the ground and leaned forward, its mighty nose bent into the ground.  When my brother Frankie and I saw the pine, our heart sank. But not father’s.
   The rain was falling. Then he announced," OK, we are going to push him up!" "What am you talking about, daddy? The roots are out of the ground !" "Shut up, we’re going to push him up, he’s going to grow again.  "We couldn’t say no to him. So we followed him into the house and we got a rope and tied the rope around the tip of the tree that lay in the round, and he stood up by the house, with me pulling on the rope and Frankie in the street in the rain, helping to push up the great green pine. In no time at all, we had it standing up straight again! Father drove a wooden pole in the ground, tied rope from the trunk to the pole, and said," Don’t worry, he’s going to grow again..."
   I looked at the card and wanted to cry.. 1 couldn’t wait to get back into the campaign.
The word "quit" ( Line 2, Para. 1 ) means ______.
选项 A、to set to
B、to give up
C、to hold on
D、to take part in
答案B
解析 根据第一段第二句作者因为政治竞选失败而打算“quit”，但由于受到父亲的一件往事的教导和鼓舞，在最后一段的最后一句可以看出作者决定重新回到竞选活动中去(get back into the campaign)，由此可推测quit意为“放弃”，即give up，因此选[B]。
