次の英文は、裕太(Yuta)が書いたものである。これを読んで、後の各問に答えよ。
"So, let's continue making an introduction about your fathers," said our English
teacher, Mrs. Yashima one month ago.
This class was Dmind-numbing, and I was thinking of the way to kill the time during
the class.

I didn't know much about my father
He was always busy working, so I didn't have any memories of playing with him at
all. He came home late at night, woke up earlier than me, and left for his workplace
without having breakfast.
On weekends, he was always watching news programs which never interested me.
When I looked out of the window, a friend of mine who was living near my home was
playing catch with his father, and I projected myself on him. When we were having
dinner, he never asked me any nice question. He always said to me, "How are the school
and the club going?" I only said, "Not bad," because I thought that he had no interest in
my school life or club activity.
I didn't know about my father well, but I remember the other face of him. He
sometimes repaired things in our home such as the TV set, chair, or bicycle. I wasn't
interested in it at all until a neighbor told me a story about my father. She always took
care of me when my parents were busy. "Your father is a good person," she said. "He
always repairs broken things with a smile. It was just like magic." And she gave me
some cookies.
I knew about my father a little.
The other day, I visited a factory as a part of social study class, and a man spoke to
me, "Oh, your last name is..., are you his son? When I was working for another company
with him, he took good care of me. He sometimes scolded me, but taught me a lot of
things. So, I respect him so much."
I knew about my father well.
When I told my father about the man, he said to me, "Keep the friendship all the time.
If you give a hand to someone, the person will give you a hand back someday. Just
remember it."
At that time, I understood that my father was a hard worker and he was respected
by many people. Though he was a serious and silent person, I felt I knew him for the
first time.

問2の解答欄の書き出しはどのようになっているのですが？書き出しが分からないので、あまり役に立たないかもですが…。

疑問文は、父の質問に"Not bad"としか言わなかったのは何故ですか？だとして、英文の5段落の最後の方でI thought that he had know〜の文で「父はわたしのクラブ活動や学校生活には興味が無いと思っていた」と言っているので、このあたりからですかね。
