Test 3（2024·江苏淮安联考）
My father has been called cheap for most of his life, by family members, friends, colleagues, and me.
I remember him 1 around the house to turn lights off all the time, even if the room's occupant had just left to make a 2 phone call. He doesn't like to use the 3 on his car because he doesn't want to wear them out. So he coasts (靠惯性滑行) when he's 4 a red light, which he believes minimizes brake wear and tear. Dad also prefers to use hand signals out the window instead of the car's 5 lights.
As cheap as he is, my father is also one of the most 6 people I know. All my life, he has given time and money to the 7 he cares about, from homelessness and hunger to AIDS campaigns. He 8 passes a panhandler on the street without giving him the coins. When it came time for my sister and brother and me to 9 college, we were never told to limit our 10 to a state school or other lower - cost options. 11 , our parents sent us to some of the best and most 12 schools in the country. Neither our father nor our mother ever complained about the high tuition. That was not only generosity in the extreme, but also a(n) 13 of my parents' priorities.
I 14 my father's compulsive frugality (节俭) a lot, but as I got older, I realized that I had internalized a lot of his 15 about money.
