12．I have a younger brother．To me，he is a fourteen-year-old kid named Joe，with blond hair and blue eyes．To others，he is different．Where I see a kid who just needs a lot more attention，others see a mentally disabled boy，a kid who cannot walk or talk or think for himself．I see someone who just makes daily routine a bit less routine．Others see an annoyance，a bother．
This is not to say that I have never felt resentful（怨恨的） toward Joe．He is my brother，and with that comes responsibility．"Gina，could you stay in tonight and watch your brother？""Gina，do me a favor and feed him dinner and change his diaper（尿布） later，please？""Could you come home right after school today and get Joe off the bus？"
These are phrases that I have heard since I was twelve．And sure，they have made me resent my brother to a certain extent．I would think：that's not fair!Everyone else can stay after and be a member of this club，or get extra help from that teacher．Or，all my friends are going out tonight，why can't I？And，how come I have to feed him？He is not my son!
However，the small amount of resentment I feel toward my brother is erased a thousand times over by what I have learned from him．Besides making me responsible from a young age，and helping me be more accepting of all kinds of people，he has taught me to be thankful for what I have．
I know that there are moment in my life that I should cherish and that Joe will never experience．He will never laugh so hard that he cries．He will never feel the glory of a straight-A report card．He will never comfort a best friend crying on his shoulder．And he will never know how much his family love him．
Because he will never know，it is up to me to know，every second，how lucky I am．It is up to me to realize that life should be lived to its fullest，and that you should always，always be grateful that God，or whoever are the powers that be，gave you the ability to live your life the way you were meant to live it．

分析 作者在本文中介紹了自己的弟弟Joe天生殘疾，我花很多時間和精力照顧他，他讓我學會了責任，他讓我學會了要對自己所擁有的事物心存感激之情．
解答 33．C．推理判斷題．根據(jù)第一段第四句Where I see a kid who just needs a lot more attention，others see amentally disabled boy，a kid who cannot walk or talk or think for himself．可知在我眼里他只是一個需要關(guān)注的孩子，但是在其他人眼里他是一個無法行走，無法獨立思考的精神殘疾兒童．說明他是一個精神殘疾的兒童．故C正確．
34．B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)第四段第二句Besides making me responsible from a young age，and helping me be more accepting of all kinds of people，he has taught me to be thankful for what I have．可知Joe讓我學會了很多，讓更加有責任心，他教會我對自己所用的東西心存感激之情．那么下次媽媽再讓我照顧他的時候，我不會推辭．故B正確．
