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.
