The line was busy, but he kept
calling and finally got through.
He was worried that the jobs were
all taken, but they told him plenty
(丰足) of jobs were still available.
They said they would give him two
weeks of training in Texas. Then they
would fly him to Iraq for his assignment(任务).
Roland told Sheila he had to take this job.
He knew it was dangerous; he might
get injured or killed, but the money
was too good. Plus, the family
would have full medical benefits(好处),
which would enable the baby to get
the care she needed. Roland said
if he survived(生存) the first year, he would probably sign up for the bonus and a second year.
Sheila was worried. She asked,
“What if you get killed? What are we
going to do without you?”
“You can’t think like that, honey,”
he said. “You’ve got to think positive.
Think about how well off we’ll be in two
or three years after I bring back all
that money. This is the best thing
I could do for this family.”
Sheila hugged him and sobbed(呜咽).
“I don’t want you to go.”
Roland flew to Houston five days later.
感想:Ronald is very great.
