My Brother
My brother is off at college, and at age 14, I miss him terribly. My brother is a rare kind of guy. He's smart and kind. And my friends say he's lovely. But it's how he handles things and how he treats his friends and his family that make me feel more proud.
He applied to 14 colleges. He was accepted by all but one, the one he wanted, Brown University. So he took his second choice, and off he went to a first year. When he came home for summer vacation, he said he'd move to Rhode Island near Brown, find a job, and do whatever he could to become known in the area. He'd work his heart out and do his best at everything. Someone, he was sure, would notice. This was a big deal for my parents as it meant agreeing to a year without college. But they trusted him and encouraged him to do whatever he thought it would take to realize his dream.
And, sure enough, at the end of the year when he reapplied to Brown, he was accepted.
We were all happy, but for me the happiness went very deep. I had learned an important lesson no one could have taught me with words. If I work hard for what I want, and if I keep trying after I've been turned down, my dreams can also come true. This is a gift I still hold in my heart.
My brother never told anyone what he was after.
A、True
B、Flase
C、Not Give
【正确答案】：B
【题目解析】：文章第二段提到When he came home for summer vacation, he said he'd move to Rhode Island near Brown, find a job, and do whatever he could to become known in the area.当他回家过暑假时，他说他要搬到布朗附近的罗得岛州，找一份工作，尽其所能在当地出名，说明他并不是从未告诉过任何人他要的是什么。所以该表述错误。
