One night, I was sitting in my room half list...

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.”

As a child，one of my favorite things to do was to go to the river and sit on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet. Watching the river, listening to the chirps（鸟鸣 ）of the birds and the sound of moving leaves in the tress relaxed me after a hard day at school.

I noticed that the bamboo trees would bend(弯曲) in the wind. However, after the wind had died down they would stand up again.

When I think about the bamboo tree’s ability. the word “resilience” comes to mind. This word means the ability to overcome shock, low spirits and other difficult situations quickly.

Have you ever felt like you are about to break suddenly? Have you ever felt like you are at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have survived(幸免) such an experience.

During the experience you probably had mixed emotions(情感). You felt very tired.

Life is a mixture of good times and bad things, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are having a bad time or unhappy moment, bend but don’t break. Try your hardest not to let the situation take control of you.

Hope will get you through the unhappy times. With hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be.

If life gets hard and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo tree, bend, but don’t break!

A. Because he liked to play in the water.

B. Because he did not want to go to school.

C. Because he wanted to enjoy some peace and quiet there.

D. Because he thought it was more fun than staying at home.

2.What does the word “resilience” mean?

A. Being able to forget things quickly.

B. Being able to deal well with problems.

C. Never letting yourself get into trouble.

D. Being at the breaking point.

3.According to the story, Which of the following situations is acceptable(可以接受)？

A. Allen failed in the exam yesterday and he was too afraid to tell his parents.

B. William failed to win the contest prize, so he gave up after that and never tried again.

C. Nancy has good grades in every subject, so she thinks she is better than everyone.

D. Grace lost in the last game, but she kept practicing and finally won next time.
