     I remember my math teacher Mr. Young very well. He stood out because the kids made fun of him. He
was missing one of his fingers, and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
     I was not very good at English and math. No matter how hard I tried, I just could not figure out why I
did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
     One day, I was told that if I got one more E on my report card, I would be taken to the "big person for
kids".
     I tried really hard for weeks. I just couldn"t understand how to make different parts of members into
whole things.
     The day before report cards were to come out, I knew that Mr. Young would give me an E, just like he
always did.
     I went to Mr. Young and told him that the orphanage (孤儿院) was going to send me to the big person
if I got another E on my report card. He told me there was nothing he could do; it would be unfair to the other
kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
     I smiled at him and said, "Mr. Young, do you know how the kids make fun of you because you"re missing
your finger?" He looked at me, moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
     "They shouldn"t do that to you because you can"t help having a finger, Mr. Young. Just like I can"t help not
being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
     The next day, when I got my report card, I tucked it into one of my books. While on the school bus, I
opened it: Geography, B + ; Mechanical Drawing, C - ; English, D - ; History, C - ; Gym, B + ; Art, C ; Math,
D -.
     That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received. Because I knew that someone in the world
finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.

     I was working as a consultant in a beer company, helping the president and senior vice-presidents form
and carry out their new planning projects. It was really a great challenge.
     At the same time, my mother was in the final stages of cancer.
     I worked during the day and drove 40 miles home to be with her every night. It was tiring and stressful,
but it was what I wanted to do. My commitment was to continue to do excellent consulting during the day,
even though my evenings were very hard. I didn"t want to bother the president with my situation, yet I felt
someone at the company needed to know what was going on. So I told the vice-president of Human
Resources, asking him not to share the information with anyone.
     A few days later, the president called me into his office.
     I figured he wanted to talk to me about one of the many issues we were working on. When I entered, he
asked me to sit down. He faced me from across his large desk, looked me in the eye and said, "I hear your
mother is very ill."
     I was totally caught by surprise and burst into tears. He just looked at me, let my crying subside (平息),
and then gently said a sentence I will never forget: Whatever you need.
     That was it. His understanding and his willingness both to let me be in my pain and to offer me everything
were qualities of sympathy that I carry with me to this day.
1. When the author was working in a beer company, his mother _____.
A. was concerned about him
B. drew the president"s attention
C. was seriously ill
D. was proud of her son
2. Most probably, the president got the information from _____.
A. a relative of the author"s
B. the.vice-president
C. the author"s good friends
D. the author"s colleagues
3. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A. Understanding Is Everywhere
B. Generous President
C. Sympathy Is Needed
D. An Unforgettable Memory
