My grandfather came from Hungary and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States．The rest of his family remained in Europe．When World War I broke out, he seemed to have become another man, downhearted．Such obvious change was not born out of his welfare（福利）, but out of fear．If his only son, my uncle, had to go to war, it would be cousin fighting against cousin．

One day in 1918, my Uncle Milton received his draft notice．My grandparents were very upset, but my mother, at the age of 10, felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off to war．Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends, my uncle bought them all service pins, which meant that they had a loved one in the service．All the little girls were delighted．

The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded the train．The band played and the crowd cheered．Although no one noticed, I’m sure my grandmother had tears in her eye for the only son．The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused．Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station．There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out．Someone shouted, “The war is over．” For a moment, nobody moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers．The men lined up in two lines, walked down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as returning heroes, to be welcomed home．My mother said it was a great day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didn’t last a tiny bit longer．

1．What the grandfather was most worried about was ．

A．the spread of the world war

B．the safety of his living two cousins

C．a drop in his living standards

D．his relatives killing each other

2．The underlined phrase “draft notice” means “ ”．

     My father was a keen baseball fan Whenever he could, Dad took me out to the park and pitched balls for
me to hit.
     One day at the park, a woman pushing a young boy in a wheelchair stopped to watch us play. My dad was
over to them in a flash to ask if the child could join our game. The woman explained that her son had polio (小
儿麻痹症) and wouldn't be able to get out of the chair. That didn't stop my dad. He placed the bat in the
youngster's hand, pushed him out to home plate and assisted him in holding the bat. Then he yelled out to me,
"Anne, pitch one in to us."
     I saw the delight in the boy's eyes, so I aimed at the bat and let the ball fly. The ball made contact with the
bat with an assist from my dad and the child screamed with joy. As I turned, I heard my dad singing Take Me
Out to the Ball Game.
     An hour later we all left the field, very tired but very happy. Dad told the mother to bring the boy back next
Saturday and we would play another game.
     Dad and I were at the field the next Saturday but the mother and son never came Twenty years passed, with
my dad gone, I had very mixed emotions about leaving the neighborhood. Before moving I decided to take one
last walk around the park where Dad and I had spent so many happy moments. Two Little League teams were
on the field just about to start a game I felt the sting of tears in my eyes as I watched the children play the game.
     "Jeff, protect your base," one coach yelled I cheered the runner on when the ball was hit far into the outfield.
The coach turned and smiled, "I never thought I'd ever be a coach playing on this field You see, I had polio as
a child and was restricted to a wheelchair. Thanks to a man's assistance, I was able to hit the ball and hear him
singing the song Take Me Out to the Ball Game. I believe that experience gave me the desire to walk again I hope
that some day I'll look up in the stands and see that man and his daughter again I sure would like to thank him."

A. she hadn't recovered from the loss of her father
