4．In this passage adapted from a novel，a Canadian woman recalls for her childhood during the 1960s．Originally from China，the family travelled to Irvine，Ontario，Canada，where the parents opened a restaurant，the Dragon Café．
As a young girl I never really thought about my parents'lives in Irvine，how small their world must have seemed，never extending beyond the Dragon Café．Every day my parents did the same jobs in the restaurant．I watched the same customers come for meals，for morning coffee，for afternoon soft drinks and French fries．For my parents one day was like the next．They settled into an uneasy and distant relationship with each other．Their love，their tenderness，they gave to me．
But my life was changing．I became taller and bigger，my second teeth grew in white and straight．At school I began to learn about my adopted country．I spoke English like a native，without a trace of an accent．I played，though，and dreamed in the language of our Irvine neighbors．A few years later and I would no longer remember a time when I didn't speak their words and read their books．But my father and Uncle Yat still spoke the same halting English．My mother spoke only a few words．I began to translate conversations they had with the customers，switching between English and Chinese．Whenever I stepped outside the restaurant it seemed I was entering a world unknown to my family：school，church，friends'houses，the town beyond Main Street，I found it hard to imagine a year without winter any more，a home other than Irvine．
For my mother，though，home would always be China．In Irvine she lived among strangers，unable to speak their language．Whenever she talked about happy times，they were during her childhood in that distant land．A wistful smile would soften her face as she told me about sleeping and playing with her sister in the attic above her parents'bedroom．She once showed me a piece of jade-green silk cloth that was frayed and worn around the edge．In the center was a white lotus floating in varying shades of blue water，the embroidery（刺绣） so fine that when I held it at arm's length the petals looked real．I had been helping her store away my summer clothes in the brown leather suitcase from Hong Kong when I noticed a piece of shiny material spread it on her lap．"My mother embroidered this herself．I was going to have it made into a cushion，but then my life changed and over here there seems to be no place for lovely things．It's all I have that reminds me of her，"she said．"Maybe，Sun-Jen，one day you will do something with it．"I admired the cloth
some more，then she carefully folded it and stored it back in her suitcase．
There was little left from her old life．She said it was so long ago that sometimes it felt as if it had never happened．But she described her life with such clarity and vividness that I knew all those memories lived on inside her．There was so little in this new country that gave her pleasure．The good things she found were related in some way to China：an aria from a Chinese opera，a letter from a relative back home or from Aunt Hai-Lan in Toronto，written in Chinese，a familiar-looking script that I couldn't read and that had nothing to do with my life in Canada．
There were times when I felt guilty about my own happiness in Irvine．We had come to Canada because of me，but I was the only one who had found a home．

3．"What is the most important thing you've done in your life？"The question was put to me during a presentation I gave to a group of lawyers．
The answer came to me in an instant．It's not the one I gave，because the situation was not right．As a lawyer in the entertainment industry，I knew the audience wanted to hear some amusing stories about my work with well-known people，but here's the true answer：
The most important thing I've ever done occurred on October 8^th，1990．I began the day playing tennis with an old friend I hadn't seen for a while．Between points we talked about what had been happening in each other's lives．He and his wife had just had a baby boy，who was keeping them up at night．
While we were playing，a car came screaming up the road toward the courts．It was my friend's father，who shouted to my friend that his baby had stopped breathing and was being rushed to the hospital．In a flash my friend was in the car and gone，disappearing in a cloud of dust．
For a moment I just stood there，paralyzed （呆若木鸡）．Then I tried to figure out what I should do．Follow my friend to the hospital？There was nothing I could accomplish there，I convinced myself．My friend's son was in the care of doctors and nurses，and nothing I could do or say would affect the outcome．Be there for moral support？Well，maybe．But my friend and his wife both had large families，and I knew they'd be surrounded by relatives who would provide more than enough comfort and support，whatever happened．All I could do at the hospital，I decided，was to get in the way．Also，I had planned a full day with my family，who were waiting for me to get home．So I decided to head back to my house and check in my friend later．
As I started my car，I realized that my friend had left his truck and keys at the courts．I now faced another problem．I couldn't leave the keys in the truck．So I decided to go to the hospital and give him the keys．
When I arrived，I was directed to a room where my friend and his wife were waiting．As I had thought，the room was filled with family members silently watching my friend comfort his wife．I went in and stood by the door，trying to decide what to do next．Soon a doctor appeared．He approached my friend and his wife，and in a quiet voice told them that their son had died．
For a long time the two held each other and cried，unaware of the rest of us standing around in pained silence．After they had calmed themselves，the doctor suggested they spend a few moments with their son．
My friend and his wife stood up and walked past their families．When they reached the door，my friend saw me standing in the corner．He came over and hugged me and started to cry．My friend's wife hugged me，too，and said，"Thanks for being here．"
For the rest of that morning，I sat in the emergency room of that hospital and watched my friend and his wife hold the body of their infant son，and say goodbye．
It's the most important thing I have ever done．The experience taught me two lessons．
First：The most important thing I've ever done happened when I was completely helpless．None of the things I had learned in university，in three years of law school or in six years of legal practice were of any use in that situation．Something terrible was happening to people I cared about，and I was powerless to change the outcome．All I could do was standing by and watching it happen．And yet it was critical that I do just that---just be there when someone needed me．
Second：The most important thing I've done almost didn't happen because of things I had learned in classroom and professional life．Law school taught me how to take a set of facts，break them down and organize them．These skills are critical for lawyers．When people come to us for help，they're often stressed out and depend on a lawyer to think logically．But while learning to think，I almost forget how to feel．Today I have no doubt that I should have leapt into my car without hesitation and followed my friend to the hospital．
From that one experience I learned that the most important thing in life isn't the money you make，the status you attain or the honors you achieve．The most important thing in life is the kids'team you coach or the poem you write---or the time when you're just somebody's friend．
