I remembered our happy growingup years in a small town in West Virginia. With good family education, Jerry had been a kind kid. He was only 15 when Dad died. Unlike him, I got over the sorrow soon, but he started drinking. Soon he began hanging out with bad guys.
Jerry and I didn’t see each other often, but we talked on the phone. Usually, though, we ended up fighting. When Mom came to live with us, Jerry dropped in regularly at first, but after a while his visits became sporadic. He explained he couldn’t handle seeing Mom in such a bad condition. Another excuse, I thought.
One day I went to see the doctor about my back.It had been aching for months.“I can’t find anything wrong with you physically,”the doctor said.“But I can tell you’re very tense. Is something bothering you?” I poured out my story about Jerry.“Do you think he’s likely to change?” he asked. I shrugged.“Probably not.”“But,you can, ”he said gently.
Me? Why did I have to change? He was the one who constantly let us down.But what had I done? Maybe the doctor was right. I couldn’t love his behavior, but I could love him—the way I did when we were little. As I walked into the house I sensed a relief.
Jerry died young due to drinking .I miss him. But I’m grateful I was given the opportunity to show him I loved him—as he was, not as I wanted him to be.

Remember when your mom used to cut up your food? Circe, a show dolphin, won't eat fish unless someone cuts the fins (鱼鳍) off. Diana Reiss, a scientist who worked with Circe, knew that. But one day she forgot.
Reiss was training Circe to "stay at station" in front of her. Every time the dolphin swam off, Reiss gave her a time-out by backing away from the side of the pool and standing at a distance. When Circe stayed, Reiss fed her a piece of fish. But then she gave her a piece with fins by mistake.
Circe looked at Reiss, spat(吐) out the fish, and swam across the pool. She took an upright position in the water and simple "stood" there. Circe was communicating (交流) loud and clear. "I felt as if I had gotten the time-out! " says Reiss.
Another dolphin, Pete, enjoyed his meals of fish served up by his trainer. But a wild bird started to show up at every feeding to steal some of the dolphin's supper. Pete was definitely not happy about that.
One day when Pete's trainer gave him frozen fish, Pete let them sink to the bottom of his pool. Between shows he dived down and pushed eight fish up to the surface, and managed to keep all of them afloat. For five minutes, the bird watched anxiously. Finally, the bird took the bait. When it did, Pete caught the bird's feet and pulled it underwater! Then took care of that little thief.

A.before Circe gave a performance
