广西来宾市2017高考英语一轮阅读理解专练（39）含答案

　　阅读理解。

　　I was working as a consultant in a beer company，helping the president and senior vice­presidents 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 vice­president of Human Resources，asking him not to share the information with anyone.

　　A few days later，the president called me into his office.

　　I thought 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 at 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.
