Passage 1
A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco. “Mom and Dad, I’m coming home, but I’ve a favor to ask. I have a friend. I’d like to bring him home with me”. “Sure,” they replied, “we’d love to meet him.” “There’s something you should know,” the son continued, “he was injured pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mine（地雷）and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to live with us.” “We’ re sorry to hear that, son. But, maybe we can help him find somewhere to live.” “No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us.”
“Son,” said the father, “You don’t know what you’re asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden to us. We have our own lives to live, and we can’t let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He’ll find a way to live on his own.”
At this point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building. The police believed he had killed himself.
The grieved-stricken（悲痛欲绝的）parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue（太平间）to identify the body of their son. They recognized him, but to their horror they also discovered something they didn’t know, their son had only one arm and one leg.
