2014届高考英语二轮专题突破精选：阅读理解 1. When a first-time father saw his newborn son, he immediately noticed the babys ears obviously standing out from his head. He expressed his concern to the nurse that some children might tease his child. A doctor examined the baby and reassured the new dad that his son was healthy- the ears presented only a minor problem with its appearance. But the nervous father persisted. He wondered if the child might suffer psychological effects of ridicule, or if they should consider plastic surgery. The nurse assured him that it was really no problem, and he should just wait to see if the boy grows into his ears. The father finally felt more optimistic about his child, but now he worried about his wifes reaction to those large ears. She had been delivered by operation, and had not yet seen the child. “She doesnt take things as easily as I do,” he said to the nurse.

The nurse went along with the dad to lend some support in case this inexperienced mother became upset about her babys large ears. The baby was in a receiving blanket with his head covered for the short trip through the cold air-conditioned corridor. The baby was placed in his mothers arms, who eased the blanket back so that she could look at her child for the first time. She took one look at her babys face and looked to her husband and gasped, “Oh, Honey! Look! He has your ears!” No problem with Mom.
