I was working as a consultant in a beer company, helping the president and senior vice-presidents form and carry out their new planning projects. It was really a great challenge.

At the same time, my mother was in the final stages of cancer.

I worked during the day and drove 40 miles home to be with her every night. It was tiring and stressful, but it was what I wanted to do. My commitment was to continue to do excellent consulting during the day, even though my evenings were very hard. I didn’t want to bother the president with my situation, yet I felt someone at the company needed to know what was going on. So I told the vice-president of Human Resources, asking him not to share the information with anyone.

A few days later, the president called me into his office.

I figured he wanted to talk to me about one of the many issues we were working on. When I entered, he asked me to sit down. He faced me from across his large desk, looked at me in the eye and said, “I hear your mother is very ill”.

I was totally caught by surprise and burst into tears. He just looked at me, let my crying subside(平息), and then gently said a sentence I will never forget: whatever you need.

That was it. His understanding and his willingness to both let me be in my pain and to offer me everything were qualities of sympathy(同情)that I carry with me to this day.

1.When the author was working in a beer company, his mother        .

A.was concerned about him                 B.drew the president’s attention

C.was seriously ill                         D.was proud of her son

2.Although he felt tired and stressed, he felt it his duty        .

A.to help plan some new projects

B.to avoid bothering the president

C.to tell the vice-president his difficult situation

D.to do his job well and look after his mother

3.Most probably, the president got the information from        .

A.a relative of the author’s                B.the vice-president

C.the author’s good friends                D.the author’s workmates

The other day I was talking to a stranger on the bus; he told me that he had a good   36  in Chicago and he wondered if, by any chance, I   37  to know him . For a moment, I thought he might be   38  ,but I could tell from the expression on his face that he was not. He was   39  . I felt like saying that it was ridiculous to  40  that out of all the millions of people in Chicago I could possibly have ever bumped into his friend. But,  41  , I just smiled and reminded him that Chicago was a very   42  city. He nodded, and I thought he was going to be content to drop the subject and talk about something else. But I was wrong. He was silent for a few minutes, and then he   43   to tell me all about his friend.
His friend’s main  44  in life seemed to be tennis. He was an excellent tennis player , and he  45  had his own tennis court. There were a lot of people with swimming  46  , yet there were only two people with private tennis court; his friend in Chicago was one of them. I told him that I knew several   47  like that, including my brother, who was doctor in California. He    48  that maybe there were more private courts in the country, than he   49  but he did not know of any others. Then he asked me   50  my brother lived in California. When I said Sacramento, he said that was a coincidence 51 his Chicago friend spent the summer in Sacramento last year and he lived next door to a   52 who had a tennis court in his backyard. I  said I felt that really was a coincidence because my next-door neighbour had gone to Sacramento last summer and had   53  the house next to my brother’s house. For a moment, we stared at each other, but we did not say anything.
“Would your friend’s name happen to be Roland Kirkwood?” I asked finally. He   54  and said, “Yes. Would your brother’s name happen to be Dr Rey Hunter?” It was my  55   to laugh. “Yes,” I replied.

Teaching my first child, Danae, to share her toys was the biggest challenge. To    1    this, we started inviting other children to play, which could help Danae discover that it’s fun to share with others — a lesson I needed to   2      myself as well, as it   3     .
One evening Danae had   4       a friend, Natalie, to play with her. Their favorite was a children’s card game called Go Fish. That evening, after Natalie left, Danae came to me and said, “Mommy, I’d like to give these to Natalie tomorrow. They’re her favorites.”
She held up three cards from the Go Fish game. I tried to   5     that I didn’t want her to give them away because then our   6      wouldn’t be complete. “But I really want her to have them!” Danae    7    . I thought perhaps she didn’t understand that when she gave something away, it was gone   8     . So I tried again, saying, “Once you give the cards to her, you can’t   9      them back tomorrow.”
A look of   10     came over Danae’s face. For a moment I was happy that she seemed to   11     . But then she smiled and said. “Well, that’s okay; I want her to have them anyway.”
What could I say to that? I sat   12      for a moment and then I realized I had been trying for so long to ask her to share. Did it   13     that our Go Fish set would be   14    ? What mattered was that my daughter was learning the   15      of giving, that she was thinking about others instead of herself, and that she was trying to make her friends happy. Isn’t that what life is all about?
