Question

阅读理解

　　I come from a close loving family．I have three elder brothers．

　　My parents owned a wood supply business．But they were active volunteers in our community．When I was a kid people used to laugh at my dad and say his volunteer work was his business and his business was his hobby．That rubbed off on me．For example I was a Big Brother in high school and I continued doing volunteer work in college．

　　In 1979 just before graduation my brother Mark asked if I'd like to help him start a software company．So I joined his company and I was happy that later it became very unusual in the software industry．Once I started working．I continued to volunteer．

　　I'm a big believer that you learn from those around you by volunteering．So I volunteer to company the elderly persons who live alone．I met Malcolm who's physically healthy．We talk about what friends talk about．He is also interested in my work．He often says“You can get caught up being the CEO of a half-billion-dollar software company very quickly．”

　　I learn kindness humility(谦恭) a positive outlook on life from Malcolm．Most people volunteer for a year．But we have been together for five years and there is no end in sight．
