Margeaux Wolberg was sitting with the other 12-year-olds in her class when one of the girls turned to her and asked, "Is your mom dead?"
She never came to school like the other mothers to volunteer in the library or help the teachers. It was always Margeaux's dad who did that.
Margeaux reached for her computer, typed a few words into Google and showed her classmate a list of information with her mother's name and job titles, from CEO at Salesforce.com to her present role as vice-president of technology business operations at PayPal. "See, my mom's not dead," she said. "My mom's famous."
Kirsten Wolberg, 45, tells this story with pride. She is not trapped by an uneasy feeling these days when she has to miss a school play. Instead she is glad that her two daughters are growing up with such a strong role model: a woman in a high-powered job in Silicon Valley.
Long before neither of her kids was born, Wolberg and her future husband Michael had a talk about how they would divide household and childcare duties. "I said, 'Listen, one of the things that's really important to me is to have a parent at home full time, '" she remembers. "'And it can't be me.'"
Michael Wolberg, 43, worked for years for a medicine company. But when Margeaux was born, he offered to give up his job and became a stay-at-home dad. And he has never felt sorry for himself. Spending 12 hours a day alone with a child suits his personality better than an office, he says, and much better than it would ever suit his wife.
"She's spent many, many years trying to get to the place where she is and even further," he says, "and this lifestyle of cleaning the floor and changing diapers(尿片)and all kinds of other things are not for her."
1.From the first three paragraphs we know that Margeaux felt .
A. sorry for her mother B. proud of her mother
C. hurt by her classmates D. thankful to her mother
2.According to the passage, Kirsten .
A. finds it hard to get her kids' understanding B. is as successful in her career as her husband

A. He was tired of his job.
B. He was forced to leave the job.
C. He is more suitable by nature to stay at home.
D. He and his wife reached an agreement after the kids' birth.
4.From the passage we can learn that .

C. Michael loves his kids better than his wife does
D. Michael regrets making the decision to stay at home

One night, I was sitting in my room half listening as my 15-year-old brother Tommy fought with my 12-year-old brother Kevin. I didn’t pay attention when Kevin rushed up the stairs with the hurt on his face.
About 20mintes later, as I was walking up-stairs I heard Kevin crying inside the bathroom. I knocked on the door and asked, “Hey, Kevin, do you want to talk?”
No answer.
I tried again, “Why don't you come out of there?”
Again, on answer.
I tried again, “Why don’t you come out of there?”
Again, on answer.
So, looking around, I grabbed a stack of(一摞) 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 cards in front of me. One was blank and one was cards from Kevin on which he had translated all his yucky feeling into words for me. As I read one of Kevin’s notes, tears came to my eyes. It said, “No-body in this family cares about me. I’m not the youngest, and I’m not the oldest. Tommy thinks I’m silly 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 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.”
There was no answer for a while, but then I heard a tearing sound coming from inside the bathroom. Kevin, who had run out of words wrote on a torn paper cup. “Thanks.”
I wrote back, “For what?” It returned to me with “Loving me.” On it.
Since then, I try my best to never only half-notice my family members any more. Kevin and I have a closer relationship now. And sometimes when one of us notices that the other is upset, we’ll smile and say “Write it on a paper cup.”
