PAGE 5/ NUMPAGES 5 高三英语阅读专练（二） A When I was a boy, our extended, immigrant family would sometimes gather at my aunts tiny house over the summer. Relatives from all over the country would come to visit. The adults would crowd together in the living room to talk and catch up on each others lives. And the kids would be sent out into the front yard to play when dinner was slowly cooked for all of us. Those were the days before video games, smart phones, and motorized toys, so we often ended up playing an old game. I remember one of those moments especially. As I was the youngest and smallest of all the kids there, I got caught first and couldnt catch anyone else. My brothers and cousins were all too fast for me，and I grew more and more frustrated. Finally my face fell first into the dirt. I got up with tears forming in my eyes. Then I saw one of my female cousins Susan standing there. She started to run but was going much slower than before. I easily caught up and seized her. Then she turned to me, smiled, and said, “Im it! Youd better run！” I ran off laughing with glee while she turned and started to chase others. Now I see how her act of kindness that day saved me from sadness and made my joy return. It didnt matter that we hardly ever saw each other. I know we are family and she loves me. In her wonderful book Box of Butterflies，Roma Downey writes, “We are all one, we all belong to each other, and we are one big, beautiful family.” Perhaps it is time we all started to treat each other that way. Perhaps it is time we shared our love, our kindness, our laughter, and our joy with everyone without fear. Perhaps it is time to finally and forever bring this world together in one big family reunion. 1. When the adults were chatting, the kids would________.
