第一部分 选修八 Unit 2 Ⅰ.阅读理解 (2017·西宁市二模) One night I was sitting in my room halflistening as my 15yearold brother fought with my 12yearold brother Kevin. I didn't pay attention when Kevin rushed up the stairs with the hurt on his face. About 20 minutes later, as I was walking upstairs I heard Kevin crying inside the bathroom. I knocked on the door and asked，“Hey Kevin, do you want to talk？” No response. I tried again，“Why don't you come out of there？” Again, no response. So, joking around, I grabbed a stack of index cards and a pencil and wrote, “If you don't want to talk, we can write notes to each other. ” An hour later I was still sitting on the floor outside the bathroom with two stacks of index cards in front of me. One was blank and one was cards from Kevin on which he had translated all his yucky feelings into words for me. As I read one of Kevin's notes, tears came to my eyes. It said，“Nobody in this family cares about me. I'm not the youngest, and I'm not the oldest, and I'm not talented. Tommy thinks I'm stupid and Dad wishes he had the other Kevin as a kid because he's better at basketball. And you're never around to even notice me. ” Tears came to my eyes again as I wrote back to him. “You know Kevin, I really do love you and I'm sorry I don't always show it. I am here for you and you are loved in this family.” |
