Question

【题目】 On my way to the hospital where my mother was staying, a feeling of worries swept over me. The sky was clear and the wind was gentle, but it didn’t make me feel any better, because I was so worried about my mother.

Rushing into the ward (病房), I saw a woman with short hair lying on the bed in a mess, and in her arms a little baby was crying. As the woman turned around, I realized it was my dear mother. With tears running down my cheeks, I gave her a big hug. Then I noticed my little brother—a cute and small baby who was like a toy. Seeing him, I thought everything was just like a dream.

When my friends congratulated me on the birth of my little brother, every cell ( 细胞) in my body resisted (抵制), because I didn’t feel any joy. I felt so worried that I couldn’t imagine what life would be like living with a baby. Anyway, another new start of my life in a two-child family began.

At 5 every morning, I would be woken up by his crying. Then I had to play with him and try my best to make him happy. Yes, I had to act like a big sister. At first, I was tired of this, since nursing isn’t an easy job. But one day, while we were playing in front of the mirror, I smiled at him and suddenly he smiled back. Melted (融化于) by his cuteness, my heart was full of happiness.

All my tiredness was gone. I realized that living with a baby wasn’t always terrible. There was a moment when my father and I were dressing him while my mother was feeding him, and he suddenly stopped eating to look at me. A big smile appeared on his face. At that moment, we all laughed.

I’ve gradually found that life is more interesting ever since his birth. I also realized how hard my parents must have worked when I was a kid. I love my family.

The only-child days in my family are gone. I’m excited to start an unforgettable journey in my life with my dear brother.
