Now, a worried silence had come to dominate his family and settled like fog over the Gao home.Fei pedaled towards the lake and considered his situation. He was a good student. His parents
18、 were proud of him and always encouraged him to work hard in school. “You will be a surgeon, dentist, nuclear scientist or astronomer. One way or another, youll help others. If you study hard, you will do some great things for our society. I know it!” his father told him many times. 2 UNIT 1 CARING

He was overcome with relief but hardly dared to believe a solution could be found.“My mothers family lives in a village a few hundred miles away. As for my father his nieces and nephews may help,” Fei hesitated. “Lets call your cous

Feis fathers co-workers reported the story to their boss who promised to keep his job open, and the whole community contributed to a fund to help Feis family get by. At school, Feis classmates overwhelmed him with warmth and concern. I
