Section Ⅱ　Reading and Thinking （1） 阅读理解 A 　　Growing up in my home was at times a big pain.Why？ Because my dad always made me take responsibility for everything in my life. 　　Whenever I said something like “Dad， my friend makes me so mad”， without fail Dad would come back with：“Now come on， Sean. No one can make you mad unless you let them.It’s your choice.You choose to be mad.” 　　Or if I said “My new biology teacher is the worst.I’m never going to learn a thing”， Dad would say， “Why don’t you go to your teacher and give him some suggestions？ Change teachers.Find a tutor if you have to.If you don’t learn biology， Sean， it’s your own fault， not your teacher’s.” 　　He never let me off the hook.He was always challenging me， making sure that I never blamed someone else for the way I acted.Luckily my mom let me blame other people and things for my problems or I might have turned out crazy. 　　I often screamed back， “You’re wrong， Dad！ I didn’t choose to be mad.She MADE， MADE， MADE me mad.Just get off my back and leave me alone.” 　　You see， Dad’s idea that you are responsible for your life was hard medicine for me to swallow as a teenager.But， as I grow up， I see the wisdom in what he was doing.He wanted me to learn that there are two types of people in this world — those who take responsibility for their lives and those who blame， those who make things happen and those who others are forced to accept what happens. 　　Being proactive is the key to unlocking all the other good habits and that’s why it comes first.We should say：“I am the force.I am the captain of my life.I can choose my attitude.I’m responsible for my own happiness or unhappiness.I am in the driver’s seat of my destiny， not just a passenger.” 1.Why did the author think growing up in his home was a big pain？（　　） A.His father didn’t love him.
