When the mother turned at the sound of her son crying, she saw that his hand was in the vase and was apparently stuck. She tried to help him and pulled and pulled until the child cried out in pain. But the hand was stuck fast. How would they get it out? The father suggested breaking the vase but it was quite valuable and the child39。s hand might be cut in the process. Yet he knew that if all else failed, there would be no other alternative. So he said to the boy, Now, let39。s make one more try. Open your hand and stretch your fingers out straight, like I39。m doing, and then pull! But Dad, said the boy, if I do that, I39。ll lose my penny! The boy had had a coin in his hand all the time and was holding it securely in his tight little fist. And he wasn39。t prepared to open his hand and lose the penny. But once he opened his hand, it came out of the vase easily. I used to hold on to things in my life that I thought were so important to me. Early in my marriage, all I cared about was being the best volleyball player in the state of Wisconsin. One year, when Kristi was working shifts at General Motors, I played in 1,400 games, peting four nights a week and 40 out of 52 weekends. My team won over 1,000 games. Success on the volleyball court, but a huge loss in my relationship with my Kristi. When I finally let go, I looked back at what I had done and was ashamed. Not only did I show my wife she wasn39。t the most important thing to me, but I missed out on a lot of relationship building time. My life is so much richer now that I am not a slave to that drive to be the best player I could be.(1)Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?

Home has bee more of a feeling than a place. I feel at home when I am with my family in London, but I also feel at home in Italy with friends I love. Home is no longer a picture of a house with a front door and some windows. It is more plicated than that. This is one of the reasons that celebrating the new year has bee very important for me. I do not care about New Year39。s resolutions (愿望)—living abroad has made me constantly reconsider what kind of person I want to be and how I will live my life, so I don39。t feel the need to plan for change: I live for change. New Year39。s Eve has bee my time to reconnect with the friends that makes me feel at home. Every year we try to reunite wherever we are and remember the time when we knew each other so well that we felt like a family. It is a moment to reconnect and get to know each other again. Last year, we travelled to a cottage in Ireland where we had no internet and no neighbours. In the middle of the countryside, away from our big and constantly changing lives, we were able to bee like a little family again. This year, we went to Barcelona. It was a very big change. We were surrounded by culture and life and joy. There were bars and parties. It was different, but one thing stayed very much the sameI felt at home again and we felt like a family again. A lot of people feel that New Year39。s Eve cannot live up to expectations. Ideas such as the New Year39。s kiss and resolutions create a lot of pressure for people to have a night to remember, a night that will change their lives and perhaps make the next year one worth living. I think those people are missing the point. If Christmas is about family, why can39。t New Year be about friends?(1)What does the underlined word It in Paragraph I probably mean? A.FamilyB.Living abroadC.Home1
