The lights went off, and I unbolted the door of memory. I remember driving home by myself for
the first time. I looked into the future and imagined that I was walking on the stage to receive my college
diploma. I looked at the bleachers packed with families and friends. I saw my parents smile with pride,
and I looked to their side for Katie and Kevin"s approval. But Katie, my elder sister, was not there. I
cou7ld hold back my tears.
I suddenly opened my eyes and returned to reality. I remember being called out of Spanish class in
the tenth grade and taken to the hospital to see Katie, who was dying of cancer. Katie"s room was
exactly the way she had left it on a Friday night in September, 1993,when she was got into the ambulance. She died just a few weeks in her freshman year at the University of Miami.
When Katie was six years old, she declared herself old enough to take care of her little sister and
brother, because she wanted to lighten our mother"s burden. Katie would always do up my hair and
go shopping with me. She would always tutor Kevin and buy him ice cream as a reward for his hard
work. Clearly, Katie was more than our elder sister.
A diploma is placed in my hand . "I do !" I cry. Katie said she loved me and hugged me tight on a
September afternoon in 1993. just before I step up my college auditorium stage, I look at the spectators
in the bleachers and see mother, father and Kevin. Katie is sitting right beside them , cheering me on. | | 1. What does the underlined word"unbolted mean? | A. Opened

children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same.
But that was impossible, because there in the front row, slumped in his seat, was a little boy named
Teddy Stoddard.Mrs Thompson noticed that he didn"t play well with the other children, that his clothes
were messy and that he constantly needed a bath.And Teddy could be unpleasant. It got to the point
where Mrs Thompson would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen, making
bold Xs and then putting a big "F" at the top of his papers.
However, when she reviewed his file, she got a surprise.
Teddy"s first grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work
neatly and has good manners… He is joy to be around."
His second grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates,
but he is troubled because his mother has a terminal illness and life at home must be a struggle."
His third grade teacher wrote."His mother"s death has been hard on him.He tries to do his best but
his father doesn"t show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if some steps aren"t taken."
Teddy"s fourth grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is withdrawn and doesn"t show much interest in study.
He doesn"t have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class."
Now, Mrs Thompson was ashamed of herself and felt worse when her students brought her
beautifully wrapped Christmas presents.Teddy"s present, however, was clumsily wrapped in rough
brown grocery paper.Taking her time she opened it to reveal Teddy"s gifts, a shine stone bracelet with
stones missing and a quarter full perfume bottle.How the children laugh!"What a pretty bracelet! Mm,
lovely perfume! Perfect on my wrist." The children were silent.
Alone together, after school, Teddy told Mrs Thompson, "Today you smiled just like my Mom
used to."His teacher cried all right, and from that day, she stopped teaching reading, writing, and
arithmetic and began to teach children instead.
