[语篇导读]本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者与妻子住在大儿子家时，发现家庭角色悄然转变的故事。作者发现儿子开始承担家庭责任，进而深信儿子正稳步成长，终会成为一名合格的父亲。
1.C 根据上一句中的my wife and I stayed with our elder son Nathaniel at his house可知，此处说的是作者和妻子在大儿子家住了一周。roof意为“屋顶”，under one’s roof为固定短语，意为“在某人的住所内”，符合题意。guidance意为“指导”；influence意为“影响”；protection意为“保护”。

3.A 与上文中的stop leaving the water running相呼应，此处指在加利福尼亚节约用水尤其重要。conserve意为“节省，节约”，符合题意。deliver意为“递送”；purify意为“净化”。
4.C and前的分句提到作者被儿子发现用了额外的纸巾擦厨房台面，结合上文Nathaniel提醒作者要节约用水可推知，此处指儿子嘱咐作者使用洗碗布。instruct意为“嘱咐，吩咐”，符合题意。motivate意为“激发”；allow意为“允许”；promise意为“承诺”。
