我喜欢动物 劳拉·A·莫雷蒂
“你觉得你为什么这么喜欢动物呢?”这是圣诞夜我的家人问我的问题。我知道他们期待我会说些诸如“我喜欢动物是因为它们聪明、好玩”之类的话。
可是我却说：“我喜欢动物，因为它们诚实。”
“在哪方面呢?”我的一个兄弟问道——似乎诚实仅仅表现在说实话，而众所周知动物是不会说话的!他的问题引来一阵开怀大笑。
“我喜欢动物，因为它们从不假装成别人，”我继续我的回答，“动物不会伪造感情。”
圣诞晚餐吃过了，礼物也打开了，我们正坐在沙发和扶手椅上。咖啡正端上来，于是我抓紧机会继续说。
“我喜欢动物，因为它们从生活中只索取它们需要的东西。它们不糟蹋环境，不污染水和它们所呼吸的空气。它们不生产大规模杀伤性武器，然后用这些武器去攻击别人——尤其是它们的同类。我喜欢动物因为它们根本不需要那些东西。”
“那是因为它们无知，”我的姐姐争论道,“它们不做这些事是因为它们根本不知道怎么做。”
狮子们不会聚在一起，”我反击道,“来商议如何灭绝斑马——即它们的食物来源。我想这并不是因为它们不知道怎么做，而是因为这么做会适得其反。”
他们笑了。
“我喜欢动物，”我继续道，“还因为它们不留恋过去的.东西，也不把过去的东西用作现在行为的借口。它们不去计划未来的生活，它们只活在今天，这一刻，充实地，完全地，单纯地活着。我喜欢动物因为它们比人类活得自由得多。”
“那是因为它们不会思考,”我的一个表亲说。
“这就是差别之所在吗?”我感到疑惑。“你是想说它们不以我们的方式思考吧。”
屋里变得异常安静。我很惊讶我的家人竟听得如此专注。
“还有，”我想起了自己成为保护动物权益积极分子的原因，随即补充道，“动物是地球上受害最深的生物：甚于儿童，甚于妇女，甚于有色人种。偏见使我们去剥削、利用它们，把它们当作科研工具和可消耗的商品，还去吃它们。我们把所能想到的任何暴行都用在它们身上。我喜欢动物，因为它们不对自己或别人做那些我们对它们做的事情。”
“最后，”我总结道，“我喜欢动物，因为它们不是伪君子。它们不会说的是一套，做的是另一套。它们，我已经说了，是诚实的。动物——而不是人——才是地球奉献出的最佳一族。”
相当有趣的是，尽管我的话十分率直，却没有招来他们恶意的评论或丝毫的嘲笑。事实上，接下去的谈话变成了分享他们所知的动物故事，有关于动物的忠诚和灵性的故事，也有关于它们的幽默和纯真的故事。而我反倒成了听众，只偶尔发表一下评论：
“嗳，但愿人能像动物一样就好了。”
我就这样进行了一场出色的论战;我是代表着我们中间最棒的一个群体上阵的。

马的意识——威廉•冯•奥斯顿试图教马数数 鲁丝•多尔夫曼
马会不会加减乘除?当然不会!但是在1900年，冯•奥斯顿可不同意你的意见。冯•奥斯顿是位德国教师，他试图证明动物和人一样聪明。
他收了一只熊、一只猫和一匹马作学生，开始教他们算术或实数。熊和猫很快失去了兴趣，然而马却没有。
事实上，这匹名叫聪明的汉斯的马是一名优秀的学生。每堂课他都静静地站在那里，面对着老师。为了确保汉斯专心听讲，冯•奥斯顿在它眼睛的两侧安上了遮挡物。这些“障眼物”迫使汉斯正视老师。看来没有什么能让他分神了。
冯·奥斯顿用撞柱游戏中的9个小瓶柱来教汉斯1到9的数字。他排出4根小柱，问道：“有几根小柱子啊?”
“嗒，嗒，嗒，嗒，”汉斯敲着前蹄回答。
冯·奥斯顿用写在黑板上的数字代替九柱后，汉斯依然学得很快，他仍旧能答对问他的大多数问题。这只令人惊讶的动物甚至学会了认钟点和算某些数的*方根!不久，聪明的汉斯赢得了全世界的称赞。之前可从来没有动物进行过数学思维!
然而，有些数学家怀疑有诈。冯•奥斯顿是不是在给汉斯提示呢?让一匹马做如此复杂的数学计算似乎是不可能的!不过，当数学家们测试汉斯时，他们大为惊讶。测验结果表明，汉斯的能力竟达到了一个14岁学生的水*!
尽管如此，仍有科学家表示怀疑。他们组成一个小组重新对汉斯进行测试。小组中的一名心理学家奥斯卡.冯斯特想到一个主意。为什么不单独测试汉斯呢?这样一来，当然不可能有人给他提示了。
不出冯斯特所料，汉斯没能通过测验。这是因为汉斯需要房间里有个知道正确答案的人，可是那个知道答案的人并不知道自己在提示汉斯!当汉斯接近正确答案时，那人的身体就会发生一些变化，而这些变化只有汉斯能察觉到。即使是心跳加速也可能成为让汉斯开始敲击蹄子的信号!
毫无疑问，冯·奥斯顿发现汉斯从来不懂数学时他很是失望。不过话说回来，汉斯的的确确是匹非常聪明的马!

21世纪大学英语综合教程第二册Unit2课文翻译及课后答案1
几年前的一天，我来到萨拉曼卡——纽约附近的一个火车站。我计划在那儿搭乘卧车。站台上都是人，他们涌入长长的卧车，把列车挤得满满的。我问售票处的人能否买两张票，但他厉声回答说：“没票!”然后冲着我的脸关上了窗。这真是对我尊严的莫大打击，然而我又需要这两张车票。我找到一位地方官员，问他能否在卧铺车厢的某个地方找个可怜的小角落;但他猛然打断了我，厉声说道：“没有，找不到。每个角落都挤满了。好了，不要再来烦我了。”说完，他便不理我而走开了。我没料到他会这样对待我，我的尊严处于一种难以描述的状况。我对同伴说：“他们这样对我讲话是因为他们不知道我是谁。”可我的同伴却说:“别说这种傻话了。即便他们知道你是谁，你觉得这能帮你在没有空座的火车上搞到座位吗?”说完他也不理我了。这太过分了。我找到刚才那个官员，非常有礼貌地告诉他我叫马克•吐温，我是否能——但他又一次打断了我：“我已经告诉过你不要再来烦我了。”接着又不再理我了。我无助地环顾四周，发现我的同伴目睹了整个经过。我感到的耻辱无法用语言形容。我说：“或许他没有听到我的名字。”但我的同伴却不这么认为，他说：“他肯定清楚地听到你的名字了，只不过他不在乎罢了，就是这么回事。”
我不知道接下去会发生什么，但就在这时候,我注意到一个年轻的卧车行李搬运工正在跟列车员窃窃私语，并朝着我点头。那个列车员随即转过身，毕恭毕敬地向我走来。
“我能为您效劳吗，先生?”他说道，“您要在卧车上找个空位吗?”
“呃，当然，”我回答说，“可我问过站台上那个人，他说每个角落都塞满了，还叫我不要烦他。”
“不会吧，先生，我简直不敢相信他说了这样的话。简直无法想象有人竟然这样对您说话，先生!我很抱歉，先生，但您一定是误会他了。我们什么空地方都没了，只剩下那个大的家庭包房，里面有两个铺位和几把扶手椅，但这一切都供您享用。过来，汤姆，把这些箱子搬上车!”
搬运工拿了我们的小提箱，我们则上了车。在豪华包房把我们舒舒服服安顿好以后，汤姆满脸堆笑地说:“哦，您还需要什么吗，先生?”
“呃，这盏灯吊得太高了。能不能在我的床头再给我安一盏灯，好让我看起书来舒服点?”
“可以，先生，可以。我会亲自给您安上。您需要什么只管说，我们就是把整条铁路里里外外查个遍也要帮您找到。”说完他便离开了。
我微笑着对同伴说：“咳咳，现在你怎么说?”
我的同伴看起来很羞愧。“唔，”他说，“你是对的。我为刚才在站台上对你说过的那些话感到抱歉。这么看来犯傻的是我，不是你。能跟你一起来我很高兴。假如没有你，我永远也不会搞到车票。但我还是不明白。”就在这时汤姆的笑脸再次出现在门口，接着说了这样一句话：“喔，先生，我一下子就把您给认出来了。接着我就告诉了列车员。”
“是这样吗，小伙子?”我问道，“那我是谁呢?”
“您是纽约*麦克莱伦先生。”说罢他又离开了。

我在一家7-11商店里已经工作了两年，自以为很善于处理我们经理所说的“与顾客的关系”了。我坚信，一个友好的微笑和脱口而出的“先生”、“女士”和“谢谢”就足以让我应付任何可能出现的情况，无论是安慰缺乏耐心或难缠的顾客， 还是为找错零钱而道歉。但是几天前的那个晚上，一位老妇人却动摇了我的信念： 乖巧的回答并不能消除与他人打交道时遇到的磕磕绊绊。
老妇人一进来，就与我们灯火通明、货架整齐、亮堂堂的店铺形成了鲜明的对照。老妇人似乎每走一步都十分痛苦。她慢慢地推开玻璃门，蹒跚地走向最近的通道。在气温只有华氏40度的晚上，她只穿着一件褪了色的连衣裙和一件薄薄的、淡褐色的、小得连纽扣都扣不起来的羊毛衫，还有一双破旧的黑拖鞋。她那青筋暴突的腿上既没有穿长袜也没有穿短袜。
老妇人在店里转了几分钟后，在罐装蔬菜前停了下来。她拿起一罐玉米，盯着标签看。此时，我决意做一个有礼貌的"好雇员，便问她是否需要帮助。
对我清晰宏亮的“您要买点什么?”老妇人轻声回答说：
“我要一些吃的。”
“太太，您在找玉米吗?”
“我要一些吃的，”她重复道。“哪种都行。”
“哦，罐头玉米是95美分，”我用最乐于助人的口吻说道。“或者，如果您愿意的话，我们今天有特价面包。”
“我付不出钱，”她说。
有那么一刹那，我真想说：“把玉米拿去吧。”但雇员守则却涌入我的脑海：保持礼貌，但不要让顾客占你便宜，让他们知道是你在控制局面。曾有一刻我甚至认为这是某种考验，老妇人是总部派来考验我的忠诚的。于是，我尽职尽责地回答说：“对不起，太太，我不能免费送您任何东西。”
老妇人的脸似乎“塌陷”得更厉害了(如果有这种可能的话)，她双手颤抖着把罐头放回货架，然后从我身旁慢慢地走向门口，破旧而又肮脏的羊毛衫勉强遮住她佝偻的背。
她离开后不久，我便拿着那罐玉米冲出门去，可是老妇人已经无影无踪。在余下的当班时间里，老妇人的形象一直浮现在我的脑海中。我年轻、健康、沾沾自喜，而她却年老多病，身处绝境。我真心希望我当时能表现得像一个人而不是“机器人”，但意识到我们保持自身良好本性的力量是多么的脆弱，又令我感到悲哀。

埃尔西外婆去世时我才17岁。她是我祖父母一辈中最后一个去世的，我是她唯一的外孙。直到律师宣读她遗嘱的那一刻，我才充分感受到这位老妇人深深的爱。这是一个我永生难忘的时刻——这一天，我成了镇上最富有的孩子。
我和父母、索菲姨妈、比尔姨夫围坐在她的律师办公室的小型会议桌旁。她想让她的女儿和女婿们一起分享她所留下的一点财富——包括小额保险单的收益、几个手镯、一些珠宝和她的结婚戒指。除此之外，她还给他们留下了房子的契约、银行账户、当地电气公司的少许股票以及一面美国*。这面*是军方为爱德温外公举行葬礼时授予她的。
我们起身离去时，律师对我们说，“还有三样东西。”他从公文包里取出一个小小的珠宝盒、一封信和一叠用红纸整整齐齐包着的信封。“杰弗里，你的外婆把她的订婚钻戒留给了你，希望你不久就能好好地派上用处。”大家都笑了起来。
“这些也是给你的，杰弗里，”他说，“这封信和这些情书可能是所有遗产中最珍贵的。”
外婆的信是这样开始的:“亲爱的杰弗里，我把我最珍贵的财富之一——我的.回忆——留给你。这些回忆即是你爱德温外公不在我身边时写给我的信。请读读这些信吧，它们是无价之宝，是指导你如何去爱一个女人、如何理解别人、如何重视并保持正直品格的指南。
“读这些信时，你会感受到一个出色的男人对一个出色的女人的思念和激情，你会了解战争给人们带来的恐惧和痛苦，你会认识到是非之分，你会学会信任你爱的人，远离你不信任的人，你也会知道什么是陈酿的友谊，真爱何以会成为你生活的核心。
“杰弗里，我一直都很幸运。我爱着一个优秀的男人，他也深爱着我。尽管他的爱现在已经成了回忆，但它也是一个永远也不会结束的真实的梦。爱就像一张存放在相册中的美丽的照片。每当你惊奇地凝视它时，你都能欣赏到它的美。爱可以使时间停滞，使你再一次青春焕发——永远青春焕发!爱德温外公是个军人，是一位职业军官，第一次世界大战期间赴法国，在潘兴将军的部队中服役。要了解外公的内心世界，读一读他写给我的情书吧。你会了解一个真正的男人能多么浪漫，多么完美。要真正了解外公的品德，读一读杰克·潘兴将军在得知爱德温阵亡后给我写的亲笔信吧。
“杰弗里，我说过这些情书是无价之宝，我已经告诉你他的情书有多么珍贵，希望你能从中有所领悟。然后找一个值得你爱的女孩，满怀激情地爱她。爱情能使你们的生活丰富多彩，给你们带来更多的快乐。
“说到这些信的价值，请把这些信封收藏好。索思比拍卖行的估价师说这些老邮票的价值远远超过了我的其他财产。潘兴将军的亲笔信比邮票更加值钱。愿爱陪伴你一生，愿你的人生更有意义!上帝保佑你!
“我爱你，埃尔西外婆。”

在琼·格雷斯推开他店门的那一天，皮特·理查德是镇上最孤独的人。这家小店是他的祖父传下来的。小小的橱窗里散乱地放置着一些过时的东西。在这个冬日的下午，一个孩子站在那里，她的前额贴着玻璃，一双大眼睛热切地审视着每一件珠宝，好像在寻找什么很特别的东西。最后，她带着满意的神情挺直身子，走进了店里。
店里的布置比橱窗还要杂乱，店主皮特就站在柜台后面。他还不到30岁，但头发已经有点灰白。
“先生，”孩子说，“请把橱窗里那串蓝珠子项链拿给我看一下好吗?” 皮特撩开帘子，取出一串项链。他把宝石展现给她看时，蓝中透绿的宝石在他的掌中闪闪发光。“太完美了，”孩子说，“你能帮我包装得漂漂亮亮的吗?”
“你是为别人买的吧?”“是为我姐姐买的。她照顾我。您瞧，这是妈妈死后的第一个圣诞节，我一直在为姐姐找一件最好的圣诞礼物。”
“你有多少钱?” 皮特问。她一直在手忙脚乱地解着手绢上打的结，这时将一把分币倒在柜台上。“我把储蓄罐里的钱都倒出来了，”她简单地解释说。
皮特若有所思地望着小女孩，然后小心翼翼地把项链收回来。价格标签只有他看得到，小女孩却看不到。他怎么能告诉她呢?“稍等一下，”他一边说，一边向店堂后面走去。 “你叫什么名字?” 他回头问。“琼·格雷斯。”
当皮特回到小女孩等候着的地方时，他手里拿着一个小盒子，小盒子用红纸包着，系着一个绿色的蝴蝶结。“给你，”他说，“回家的路上别丢了。
她跑走出店门时，高兴地回头笑了笑。皮特透过窗户目送着她离去。琼·格雷斯身上的某种东西和她那串项链使他感到深深的痛苦，这种痛苦无法淡忘。小女孩一头浅黄色的秀发，眼睛如海水般湛蓝。就在不久之前皮特曾和一个女孩相恋。她的头发也是这样的浅黄色，眼睛也是如此的蓝。这条项链本来是要送给她的。
但是在一个雨夜——一辆卡车在湿滑的路面上一个打滑——一条生命就从他的梦中被夺去了。从那时起，皮特便孤零零地生活在极度的悲痛中。他一直试图忘记过去，但琼·格雷斯的蓝眼睛又使他想起了失去的爱人。这种痛苦使他无法与顾客分享节日购物的快乐。此后的十天，生意一直很红火。圣诞夜很晚的时候，最后一位顾客离开后，皮特舒了一口气。又一年过去了，但是对皮特来说，这一夜还没结束。
门开了，一个年轻女子匆匆走了进来。皮特突然意识到她很面熟，但却想不起来在何时何地见过她。姑娘一言不发，从手提包里取出一个小盒子，红色的包装纸已经松松地解开，还系着一根蝴蝶结形的绿色丝带。他的眼前马上又出现了那串闪闪发光的蓝珠项链。
“这是从您店里卖出去的吗?”姑娘问。
皮特抬头望着她，轻声回答：“是的。”
“这些宝石是真的吗?”
“是的。虽然不是最好的宝石，却是真的。”
“您还能记得卖给谁了吗?”
“是一个小女孩。她的名字叫琼。这是她买给姐姐的圣诞礼物。”
“这些宝石值多少钱?”
“价格一直是商家和顾客之间的秘密，”他很严肃地告诉她。
“但是琼最多只有几个分币的零花钱，她怎么买得起这些宝石呢?”
“她出的价比任何人都高，”他说。“她把她所有的钱都拿出来了。”
“可您为什么要这样做呢?”
他把礼物递给她。
“现在已经是圣诞节的早晨了，”他说。“很不幸，我没有可以送礼物的人。能否让我送你回家，并在你家门口道一声祝你圣诞快乐?”
就这样，伴随着此起彼伏的钟声，在欢乐的人流中，皮特·理查德和一个他尚不知道姓名的姑娘走进了新的一天，这伟大的一天给全世界所有的人都带来了希望。

我喜欢动物 劳拉·A·莫雷蒂
“你觉得你为什么这么喜欢动物呢?”这是圣诞夜我的家人问我的问题。我知道他们期待我会说些诸如“我喜欢动物是因为它们聪明、好玩”之类的话。
可是我却说：“我喜欢动物，因为它们诚实。”
“在哪方面呢?”我的一个兄弟问道——似乎诚实仅仅表现在说实话，而众所周知动物是不会说话的!他的问题引来一阵开怀大笑。
“我喜欢动物，因为它们从不假装成别人，”我继续我的回答，“动物不会伪造感情。”
圣诞晚餐吃过了，礼物也打开了，我们正坐在沙发和扶手椅上。咖啡正端上来，于是我抓紧机会继续说。
“我喜欢动物，因为它们从生活中只索取它们需要的东西。它们不糟蹋环境，不污染水和它们所呼吸的空气。它们不生产大规模杀伤性武器，然后用这些武器去攻击别人——尤其是它们的同类。我喜欢动物因为它们根本不需要那些东西。”
“那是因为它们无知，”我的姐姐争论道,“它们不做这些事是因为它们根本不知道怎么做。”
狮子们不会聚在一起，”我反击道,“来商议如何灭绝斑马——即它们的食物来源。我想这并不是因为它们不知道怎么做，而是因为这么做会适得其反。”
他们笑了。
“我喜欢动物，”我继续道，“还因为它们不留恋过去的.东西，也不把过去的东西用作现在行为的借口。它们不去计划未来的生活，它们只活在今天，这一刻，充实地，完全地，单纯地活着。我喜欢动物因为它们比人类活得自由得多。”
“那是因为它们不会思考,”我的一个表亲说。
“这就是差别之所在吗?”我感到疑惑。“你是想说它们不以我们的方式思考吧。”
屋里变得异常安静。我很惊讶我的家人竟听得如此专注。
“还有，”我想起了自己成为保护动物权益积极分子的原因，随即补充道，“动物是地球上受害最深的生物：甚于儿童，甚于妇女，甚于有色人种。偏见使我们去剥削、利用它们，把它们当作科研工具和可消耗的商品，还去吃它们。我们把所能想到的任何暴行都用在它们身上。我喜欢动物，因为它们不对自己或别人做那些我们对它们做的事情。”
“最后，”我总结道，“我喜欢动物，因为它们不是伪君子。它们不会说的是一套，做的是另一套。它们，我已经说了，是诚实的。动物——而不是人——才是地球奉献出的最佳一族。”
相当有趣的是，尽管我的话十分率直，却没有招来他们恶意的评论或丝毫的嘲笑。事实上，接下去的谈话变成了分享他们所知的动物故事，有关于动物的忠诚和灵性的故事，也有关于它们的幽默和纯真的故事。而我反倒成了听众，只偶尔发表一下评论：
“嗳，但愿人能像动物一样就好了。”
我就这样进行了一场出色的论战;我是代表着我们中间最棒的一个群体上阵的。

马的意识——威廉•冯•奥斯顿试图教马数数 鲁丝•多尔夫曼
马会不会加减乘除?当然不会!但是在1900年，冯•奥斯顿可不同意你的意见。冯•奥斯顿是位德国教师，他试图证明动物和人一样聪明。
他收了一只熊、一只猫和一匹马作学生，开始教他们算术或实数。熊和猫很快失去了兴趣，然而马却没有。
事实上，这匹名叫聪明的汉斯的马是一名优秀的学生。每堂课他都静静地站在那里，面对着老师。为了确保汉斯专心听讲，冯•奥斯顿在它眼睛的两侧安上了遮挡物。这些“障眼物”迫使汉斯正视老师。看来没有什么能让他分神了。
冯·奥斯顿用撞柱游戏中的9个小瓶柱来教汉斯1到9的数字。他排出4根小柱，问道：“有几根小柱子啊?”
“嗒，嗒，嗒，嗒，”汉斯敲着前蹄回答。
冯·奥斯顿用写在黑板上的数字代替九柱后，汉斯依然学得很快，他仍旧能答对问他的大多数问题。这只令人惊讶的动物甚至学会了认钟点和算某些数的*方根!不久，聪明的汉斯赢得了全世界的称赞。之前可从来没有动物进行过数学思维!
然而，有些数学家怀疑有诈。冯•奥斯顿是不是在给汉斯提示呢?让一匹马做如此复杂的数学计算似乎是不可能的!不过，当数学家们测试汉斯时，他们大为惊讶。测验结果表明，汉斯的能力竟达到了一个14岁学生的水*!
尽管如此，仍有科学家表示怀疑。他们组成一个小组重新对汉斯进行测试。小组中的一名心理学家奥斯卡.冯斯特想到一个主意。为什么不单独测试汉斯呢?这样一来，当然不可能有人给他提示了。
不出冯斯特所料，汉斯没能通过测验。这是因为汉斯需要房间里有个知道正确答案的人，可是那个知道答案的人并不知道自己在提示汉斯!当汉斯接近正确答案时，那人的身体就会发生一些变化，而这些变化只有汉斯能察觉到。即使是心跳加速也可能成为让汉斯开始敲击蹄子的信号!
毫无疑问，冯·奥斯顿发现汉斯从来不懂数学时他很是失望。不过话说回来，汉斯的的确确是匹非常聪明的马!

Have you ever paid tributes to your mother? Have you ever expressed your emotions on the theme of mothers? Here industrialist Ross Perot and Professor Michael DeBakey are eager to salute their own mothers.
Mothers
An old Jewish proverb says, "God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers."
Ann Taylor expressed her emotions on the theme of mothers with the following:
Who ran to help me when I fell,
And would some pretty story tell,
Or kiss the place to make it well?
My mother.
On account of the many tributes paid to mothers from the time of Eve, one might think the subject exhausted. But not so. Here, Industrialist Ross Perot and Professor Michael E. DeBakey are ready, indeed eager, to salute their own cherished mothers.
My mother was an angel.
Our family lived six blocks from the railroad tracks. During the Depression, the freight trains were filled with hoboes wandering from town to town looking for work. Every day they would come by our house asking for food. My kind mother would always share our food with them.
These people were poor and desperate, but we had absolutely no fear of them. When they knocked and asked for food, there was no concern that they might break in and steal things.
One day, a hobo said, "Lady, don"t you have a lot of people stopping by here?"
My mother said, "Yes, we do."
"Do you know why?" he asked.
She replied, "Not really."
Then he took her out to the street and showed her a mark on our curb. He said, "Lady, this mark on your curb says that you will feed people. That"s why you get so many visitors."
After the man left, I turned to my mother and said, "Do you want me to wash that mark off the curb?"
She replied with words that I will remember for the rest of my life. "No, Son, leave it there. These are good people. They are just like us, but they"re down on their luck. We should help them."
Ross Perot
Industrialist
My mother"s birthday, Christmas, is symbolic of her human warmth, her giving nature, her noble character, and her high Christian values. She and my father instilled those values in all their children from the earliest age, and she lived to make life better not only for her family, but for everyone she knew, particularly those less fortunate than she.
I recall vividly one incident in my childhood that had a lasting impact on me. Every Sunday after dinner, my parents would pack food, clothing, and books in our car and would drive, with their children, to an orphanage just outside our hometown. One Sunday I saw my mother packing a favorite cap of mine, and I protested. She calmly explained that I had several other caps and could easily get new ones, whereas the orphan who would receive this cap had none at all. She assured me that I would derive a special feeling of happiness when I saw the smile on the boy"s face as he put the cap on his head. That lesson made a deep impression on me, and the truth of her words has certainly stood the test of time as other incidents in my life have validated her words. I consider the wonderful parents that God gave me my greatest blessing, for they both believed it was always more blessed to give than to receive.
Michael E. DeBakey, M.D.
Professor
