I know it is wrong to envy your children. But when I see my son, Tonio and his younger brother Sam going down a slide together, one’s arm around the other, I know I have missed something wonderful.
Not only did I never have a brother, but also I had no friendships like theirs. My sister was old enough to help take care of me, so she was more a mother than a playmate, and I was more a pest than a friend. A brother would have been wonderful, but it was not in the family planning.
Now I finally live with brothers, my sons, Tonio and Sam. I am watching them build the kind of relationship that I once dreamed about. They go to bed together. When one comes into our bed after a nightmare, my wife and I know that before morning his brother will follow.
Sam manages the world with more ease than his elder brother, whose frustrations often bring him to tears. With a sincere “Smile, Tonio,” Sam is the one who comforts him. Tonio, on the other hand, has stopped playing with boys at his age who don’t like playing with Sam. They are always backing each other up.
I don’t know what kind of relationship they will have when they grow up. Parents always want their children to have what they never could. I want them to have each other. So I imagine them going to the same college, marrying sisters and living on the same block.
That’s why I was so worried the day Tonio started kindergarten. I felt that I would lose something too. As we headed for school that morning, both boys seemed relaxed, as if neither had any idea that the day was going to be different, that starting then, Tonio would be leaving behind his brother, his best friend, his right arm.
Tonio’s first day was chaotic, with hundreds of children outside looking for their teachers. Before any of us could say goodbye, Tonio disappeared with his new classmates. He turned to wave and then was gone. It was so sudden. Sam even didn’ t see him go. Although parents had been asked to ease the craziness of the first day by statying out of the school, I lifted Sam up and took him to Tonio’s classroom, looking for a glimpse of Tonio. Sam spotted him first.
My wife and I didn’t head back home immediately, stopping instead at a coffee shop to treat Sam to hot chocolate. We even let him eat ice-cream with his fingers. Sam was still quiet, so I asked him if he missed his brother already.
He didn’t answer. Instead he asked, “Daddy, is Tonio going to be gone forever?”
“No, Sammy,” I said, feeling happy about his sweet question. “Not forever, just until three o’clock.”
I sometimes think that the greatest thing I have ever done is to help create these brothers. And I didn’t stop with them. We had another child, and for the third time in a row, it was a boy. It wasn’t long before his brothers climbed into the crib(婴儿床) to play with him. I am surrounded by brothers.
小题1:What makes the author envy his sons?
A.He has no friends like Sam and Tonio.
B.He has only one brother in his family.
C.He doesn’t enjoy brotherhood as they do.
D.He doesn’t have a good relation with his sister.
小题2:What does the underlined word “pest” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.a bad personB.an annoying person
C.a good companionD.a lovely brother
小题3:What can we learn about the two little brothers?
A.Tonio often encouraged Sam when Sam burst into tears.
B.The two brothers went to the same kindergarten.
C.Neither of the brothers played with other children.
D.They supported each other in different ways.
小题4:The author was worried the day Tonio started his kindergarten, because__________.
A.Tonio might not spend so much time with Sam
B.Tonio might not do well with his study
C.he was afraid he would lose Tonio forever.
D.he wanted Tonio to have what he didn’t have
小题5:On the first day of the kindergarten, __________.
A.Tonio had a nice day playing with his new classmates
B.Sam was very sad because Tonio was gone forever
C.Sam was allowed to have ice-cream with fingers as usual
D.the father felt happy when he sensed Sam’s love to Tonio
小题6:What does the title “Surrounded by Brothers” suggest?
A.The author experienced brotherly affection by raising his sons.
B.The author often plays with his sons whenever he has time.
C.Parents want their children to stay at home and play together.
D.The youngest son is always surrounded by his elder brothers.

The Man was very sad. He knew that the Cat"s days were  31 . The doctor had said there wasn"t anything more that could be done, that he should take the Cat home and make him as  32 as possible.
The man put the Cat on his lap and 33  .The Cat opened his eyes, purred and looked up at the Man. A tear
  34 down the Man"s cheek and   35  on the Cat"s forehead. The Cat gave him a slightly annoyed look.
" Why do you cry, Man?" the Cat asked. "Because you can"t   36 the thought of losing me? Because you think you can never replace me?" The Man  37 "yes".
"And where do you think I"ll be   38  I leave you?" the Cat asked. The Man shrugged helplessly. " 39 
your eyes, Man," the Cat said. The Man gave him a questioning look, but did as he was told.
"What color are my eyes and fur?" the Cat asked. " Your eyes are gold and your fur is a rich, warm brown," the Man replied.
"And where is it that you most often   40  me?" asked the Cat. “I see you. . . on the kitchen window
  41  the birds …,on my favorite chair. . . on my desk lying on the papers I need. . . on the pillow next to my
  42 at night. " "Then, whenever you wish to see me, all you must do is close your eyes," said the Cat.
“Pick up that piece of string from the floor——there, my ‘toy’ .” he Man opened his eyes, then  43 over and picked up the string. It was about two feet long and the Cat had been able to   44  himself                                                                                                                                                                                                    
for hours with it. ""Now take each end of the string in one hand," the Cat ordered. The Man did so.
"The end in your left hand is my birth and the end in your right hand is my   45 . Now bring the two ends together," the Cat said. The Man obeyed.
"You have made a continuous  46  ," said the cat. "Does any point along the string appear to be different, worse or better than any other part of the string?" The Man inspected the string and then   47  his head " no".
The Man shut his eyes hard as the tears poured down his face. He saw the Cat on the  48  , then in his bed, then lying across his important papers. He saw him on the pillow next to his head, saw his bright gold eyes and darkest brown on his nose and ears. He opened his eyes and  49 his tears looked over at the circle of string he still held in his hand.          
One day, not long after, there was a new Cat on his lap. She was lovely and white…very different from his earlier   50 Cat and very much the same.

I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in (旁听生)   for another l8 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?
It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unmarried college graduate student, and she decided to, put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course. " My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers, She only gave in a few months later when my parents promised that would someday go to college.
And 17 years later I did go to college. But I artlessly chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and ail of my working class parents" savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn"t see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn"t interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.
It wasn"t all romantic. I didn"t have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends" rooms, I returned coke bottles for the $ 5 deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.

One day I walked down to get to my car, thinking about what I had to accomplish and scolding myself for being late for work, but surprisingly the car was nowhere to be found.
This was at 8 a.m. in the morning. I made trips to all the towing places and police stations, all the time thinking that it was towed (拖走)by cops (巡警).By around 10 a.m., the cops decided that it was actually stolen. After filing a report with them, I finally got to work thinking how my day was completely messed up.
Later in the day I went to pick up a rental car at Enterprise only to realize that my license was missing, too, along with my car. I told the enterprise guy the whole story and he offered to take me to the closest DMV and get a duplicate (副本) license. 1 was totally shocked. I did not know why this complete stranger would want to take some time off his day to help me. He actually took me to DMV, got a duplicate and then rented me a car. I was upset the whole day because of the events happening to me but somehow this simple act of kindness from a complete stranger made it all worth it. It cheered me up and made me forget all the troubles of the day. I was so moved by this kind act that the next day I made sure someone else got a similar surprise. I took some smiley shaped chocolates and left them on some of my colleagues’ desks.
There is still a lot of goodness out there in the world. We just need to take the time to notice it. I hope that this story would inspire many others like me to do more acts of kindness.
