I recognized my father near Cooper Union, a frozen figure in an old overcoat standing by a banana cart (手推车). He looked so lonely; tears came to my eyes. Then he saw me, a
10、nd his face lit with his sad, beautiful smile. “Arch,” he said, “so you have sold your papers! Come and eat a banana.” He offered me one, but I refused it.

11、 smelled of wet snow. “You havent sold many bananas today, Dad,” I said. “What can I do? No one seems to want them,” Dad said. It was true.

17、n recent years, especially during the 1960s, there was much discussion about “the brain drain (排干,流失),” which dealt with the problem of students and learned people who left their own countries for other countries that offered better chances for study, research, and employment. For example, according
18、 to a report from U. N. , between 1962 and 1966 more than 50 percent of all engineering graduates of Iran and 14 percent of Iranian scientists left their country for work abroad.
