Passage 2

Last year, I worked in a middle school near my mother’s house, and I stayed with her for a month. During that time, I helped her do some housework and buy some food.

After the first week, I noticed that the food was eaten up very quickly. Then I began keeping an eye on my mum. To my surprise, I found that she would put some of the food into a paper bad and go out with it at about nine every morning. And finally, I decided to follow her. I saw her taking the food to the street children. She would also spend a lot of time talking and playing with them.

One day, I talked to a neighbor and found out that my mum was well-known in the area. The children were very friendly with her and even thought of her as their own mother. Then it hit me -- why wouldn’t she want to tell me about it? Was she worried that I would stop buying food if I found out?

When my mum got home, I gave her a big hug. I told her she didn’t need to keep it a secret from me. And she told me something about the children. Some of them lived with an old lady in a small house. Others slept on the street. For years, she was helping the poor street children by giving them food. After she told me everything, I was so moved by how selfless she was. She helped others in need. As her son, I was so proud of her.

I continued to buy food for my mum after that. But I always added one more bag for her other children.

6.30 Childhood's logic never asks to be proved (all conclusions are absolute).

I didn't question why Mrs. Flowers had singled out for attention, nor did it occur to me that Momma might have asked her to give me a little talking to.

All I cared about was that she had made tea cookies for me and read to me from her favorite book.

It was enough to prove that she liked me.

I started playing basketball when I was eight.My dad was the coach of my team，and my mom kept score.So，my sister，who wasn't old enough to stay at home alone，had to come to all of my games.She looked like she didn't want to be there，but she cheered with the crowd anyway.

On the way home from the games，my parents and I talked about everything I did on the court （球场）.My sister sat in the backseat with me in silence.She didn't really understand what was going on in the games.But most nights，she came into my room and said， "Good night，Brad.Good game."I would smile and thank her.I never really took her compliment（赞美） seriously.

When I was in high school，Christie didn't have to come to my games anymore.But she still came every week，cheering me on.I remember the last game of the season.My sister came with a large group of her friends.Printed on her shirt，in big，bright red letters，were the words "BRAD'S SISTER".Suddenly，I was embarrassed （尴尬的）.I felt embarrassed，not because she was there but because I'd never thanked her for helping me before.

My sister left for college a few months after that last game，and I am an only child now.But now that she's gone，I miss having someone to fight with for the remote a lot.

I went to visit her at college for a weekend，and as I stood outside her dorm（宿舍），waiting for her to come out，a friend of hers walked past me and questioned，"Hey，aren't you Christie's brother？" I said proudly， "Yeah，I am.I'm Christie's brother."
