A
Though I have twin sisters who are a year younger than I am, I still wanted one more guy in the house when I was 5 or 6. In 2002, my mom and dad went back to the adoption agency (收养机构) in Korea where they got my sisters and me. They came home with George.
He seemed fine at first But six months later, when he was around 1, my mom and dad told us George wouldn't grow up like us. They said George has autism (自闭症) and that he'd have more challenges. One day my parents brought home some sign­language videos. They said we were all going to learn signing together. That was when I knew George might never talk.
Living with George can be a roller coaster ride. He wants to play all the time, which makes him lovable. But he can be aggressive (有攻击性的). If he doesn't get what he wants, he throws_a_fit. When George acts like this at home, I take him to the couch or the floor and lie with him until he cools off. That's my role. I often have to hold him down when he loses control of himself. I'm the only one in my home who is strong enough to handle George physically at this point, which is difficult.
I thought having a brother would mean I'd have someone on my side all the time. I thought that if I had a fight with my sisters, I'd have him at my back. It didn't end up that way. But the people in your life are there for a reason. Having George in the family has made us all closer. He's not only a connection point, but a responsibility that we all share. It has taught us to compromise (妥协)．

Most people are familiar with white table salt. But if you think that salt is just a number of tiny white crystals (结晶体), you're mistaken. This common seasoning (调味品) has many different colors and flavors.
French sea salt comes from seawater. The delicious white sea salt keeps more of the minerals that naturally occur in seawater. The mild (淡的) flavor of this salt makes it a popular choice for meals. It is perfect for use on salads, cooked fresh vegetables and meat. Some people even like to put it on chocolate cakes and biscuits.
Hawaiian sea salt, on the other hand, has a rosy color that comes from the earth in the area. A natural mineral called “Alae” is added to enrich the salt and gives the salt its special red color. It is the traditional seasoning for native Hawaiian dishes such as pork dishes.
Like Hawaiian sea salt, Australian river salt is also pink. Its color, however, comes from sea plants in the groundwater. The soft pink salt melts easily on warm foods.
Mediterranean black salt looks like coal. This salt is made by mixing sea salt from the Mediterranean Sea with a kind of burned wood. The dark crystals unlike the other salts mentioned, add a strong color to the dishes.
Tasting different salts is a wonderful way to travel the world without leaving home! Try putting one of the many kinds of salt on your food and enjoy the special flavor.
