My elder brother Steve gave me important lessons in values that helped me grow into an adult after my father died when I was six years old.
Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who took some time to ask me what happened. When I told him that my baseball broke Mrs. Holt’s basement window, Steve encouraged me to tell her the truth. After all, I played basement in a wrong place. As I explained to Mrs. Holt, my voice shook. Of course, I had to pay for the broken window from my pocket money.
I also learned from Steve that personal property (财产) is a sacred(神圣的) thing. After I found a shiny pen in my fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it. Then Steve explained that it might be important to the loser although it had little value. He also reminded me of how sad I was when I lost the small wooden dog my father made. At last, I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. Davids. I still remembered the smell of her perfume(香水) when she gave a hug.
Of all the lessons Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most vivid in my mind. When I was twelve, I killed an old brown bird in the garden with a gun. With excitement, I asked Steve to come from the house to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didn’t know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “Even if it hurts you first, you should think a long time and then decide whether you will kill it or not.” I really felt terrible then, but that moment I will never forget.
1.How many lessons Steve gave to Mark are mentioned in the passage?
A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four.
2.What does the underlined word mean in Chinese?
A.开心的 B.清晰的 C.有趣的 D.可怕的

D.Even if a living thing hurts you, you should not kill it at once.
