广安市2017高考英语阅读理解一轮系列训练(20)
阅读理解Most people watching Jeremy Lin these past two months saw Jeremy Lin,New York Knicks star;but I,watching him,saw someone else.That was my elder brother,Bob,who is athletic and energetic.He could never sit still when he was in second grade;he had to get up every now and then and run around the room.And sure enough,he grew up to be a starting player for an NCAA championship lacrosse (长曲棍球) team.He
was
a Nikeendorsed marathoner,too,and reached the top of Mt.Everest,unguided,in his 50s.
And yet my family never watched his lacrosse games.We did watch some of his marathons,but that wasn’t until he was in his
20s.When
Bob
was
in
his
glory
days,our Shanghaineseborn parents were bent on getting him into medical school.There was a loving aspect to it:I can remember my father working through math books with him,lesson by lesson,at the big blackboard in the attic.Bob never did become a doctor,though;and neither did I.It wasn’t until my younger sister came along that someone in the family finally wore a white coat.
Bob today could be the fittest 58yearold on the planet.His doctor estimates his biological age at 35;he’s still big mountains in the Himalayas.And,like Jeremy Lin,he’s charming.No one sees Bob without leaving with a laugh.He sometimes jokes he could be mayor of his building,and it’s true.To know him is to cheer for him.
