The moment my son Joe knew I was going to have another baby, he tried his best to stay out of our lives. By the time our daughter Molly was due to be born, I had grown accustomed to his embarrassment and animosity (敌意). I had grown accustomed to a lot of things, not the least of which was having an unexpected child at the age of thirty-nine. My husband, to his eternal credit, was delighted. Throughout it all, Joe rarely spoke to me, except to say, “You don’t have to come to my school,” and — after a marathon baby naming conference—“Call her Molly, the name of my friend’s dog.”
When Molly finally arrived, tiny, quiet and perfect, four family arms were there to draw her close. But Joe’s remained tightly crossed over his chest, on the far side of the hospital room I signed to him to come closer but he shook his head slightly. I could see him standing there, arms still folded, staring straight ahead.
Joe stayed away at a friend’s cottage when Molly and I came home from the hospital. He was still gone ten days later when I took our daughter for her first check-up. He arrived home just as I was coming back, tears streaming down my face. “The doctor thinks she might have a hearing problem,” I sobbed. “She’s too quiet she’s not responding like she should. We have to have her tested.”
As my husband comforted me, downplaying my worry, I noticed that Joe had stopped beside the baby, sound asleep in her car seat. He reached out to her, shifting her slightly away from a bump (隆起) in the carpet. “She’s okay,” he said, looking down at her. “There’s nothing wrong with her. She’s just little.”
Three months later as I walked the floor at 4:00 A．M. with a crying and inconsolable (难以安抚的) (and otherwise perfectly healthy) baby in my arms, I dragged myself into Joe’s room and woke him up “Joe, could you take her Just for a few minutes I can’t settle her down, Dad’s on business, and I just really need a break.”
Para.1 Saying nothing, Joe took his little sister from me.
Para. 2 Seeing Molly sleeping peacefully in Joe’s bed, I walked out, followed by Joe.

【答案】
He laid her gently on his bed, tightly rewrapping her blanket.
Putting her over his shoulder, he patted her back and spoke to her softly.
He acted so skillfully.
Miraculously, Molly stopped crying immediately and became quiet.
I watched in amazement as my son, who had been so distant and cold towards me, became a loving and caring big brother.
Tears welling up in my eyes, I breathed a sigh of relief.
It didn't take long for Molly to fall asleep.
“Thank you, Joe.” I said with my eyes fixed on his little face.
“Molly is lovely.” Joe responded shyly.
“I’m sorry that I didn’t welcome her as our new family member at first.” Joe apologized.
He explained to me by saying he was worried Molly might take parental love away from him.
I hugged him tightly and told him it was normal to think that way and assured him that nobody could replace him in Mom’s and Dad’s hearts.
