单选题{{B}}Passage Four{{/B}}
I was a freshman in college when I met
the Whites. They were completely different from my own family, yet I felt at
home with them immediately. Jane White and I became friends at school, and her
family welcomed me like a long-lost cousin. In my family, it was
always important to place blame when anything bad happened. "Who
did this?" my mother would scream about a dirty kitchen. "This
is all your fault, Katharine," my father would insist when the cat got out or
the dishwasher broke. From the time we were little, my sister,
brothers and I told on each other. We set a place for blame at the dinner
table. But the Whites didn't worry about who had done what. They
picked up the pieces and moved on with their lives. The beauty of this was
driven home to me the summer Jane died. In July, the White
sisters and I decided to take a car trip from their home in Florida to New York.
The two older sisters, Sarah and Jane, were college students,
and the youngest, Amy, had recently turned sixteen. Proud of having a new
driver's license, Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip. She
showed off her license to everyone she met. The big sisters
shared the driving of Sarah's new car during the first part of the trip, but
when they reached less crowded areas, they let Amy take over. Somewhere in South
Carolina, we pulled off the highway to eat. After lunch, Amy got behind the
wheel. She came to a crossroads with a stop sign. Whether she was nervous or
just didn't see the sign no one would ever know, but Amy continued into the
crossroads without stopping. The driver of a large truck, unable to stop in
time, ran into our car. Jane was killed immediately.
I was slightly injured. The most difficult thing that I've ever done was
to call the Whites to tell them about the accident and that Jane had died.
Painful as it was for me to lose a good friend, I knew that it was far worse for
them to lose a child. When Mr. and Mrs. White arrived at the
hospital, they found their two daughters sharing a room. Sarah had a few cuts on
the head; Amy's leg was broken. They hugged us all and cried tears of sadness
and of joy at seeing their daughters. They wiped away the girls' tears and made
a few jokes at Amy as she learned to use her crutches. To both
of their daughters, and especially to Amy, over and over they simply said,
"We're so glad that you're alive." I was astonished. No blame.
No accusations. Later, I asked the Whites why they never talked
about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a stop sign.
Mrs. White said, "Jane's gone, and we miss her terribly. Nothing we say or
do will ever bring her back. But Amy has her whole life ahead of her. How can
she lead a full and happy life if she feels we blame her for her sister's
death?" They were right. Amy graduated from the University of
California and got married several years ago. She works as a teacher of
learning-disabled students. She's also a mother of two little girls of her own,
the elder one named Jane.
