(2024·南通七下期末改编)Ethan added the milk slowly so that his corn flakes(谷物片)rose above the bowl，just like Nick's. Mum didn't stop him. Instead，she turned to Nick and patted his hand. “It's our 11 breakfast together before you start college.”
“What will you eat for breakfast at college，Nick?” Ethan asked his brother. “I don't know.” Nick hugged the corn flakes box. “I'd better take this.”
Mum smiled. “Nick is 12. He'll have everything he needs at college.” “Not 13，” Nick pointed at Ethan. “I won't have my little 14!”
Mum looked at her watch and told Nick it was time to 15. Ethan wished he could go to the airport with them，but it was class photo day. “Good luck at college!” he hugged Nick，said goodbye and waved at him till the car was out of sight.
Days went by. Ethan 16 his brother at breakfast every day. Sometimes Nick sent him photos. One was of himself in the library with a tall pile of books. Ethan looked at it carefully. Nick was smiling，but he looked 17. Maybe it was hard to get enough sleep at college.
A few months later，Mum told Ethan they would 18 Nick for his birthday. Ethan could hardly believe his ears. What good news! Ethan pulled out his schoolbag 19 and put a box of corn flakes into it. He even found Nick's pillow and tried to put it 20 too.
Seeing this，Mum couldn't help laughing. “You're very thoughtful，Ethan. But you 21 pack all that. Nick has everything he needs there.”
Everything? Ethan wondered. Then he found scissors. Turning his back to Mum，Ethan cut out one of his new 22 and put it into his schoolbag.
When Mum and Ethan arrived at Nick's college，Nick was 23 to see them. He ran over and gave them big hugs. “Guess what I 24 you! You have almost everything you need at college.” Ethan smiled at his brother.
“Almost?” Nick said. “What am I missing?”
Ethan reached into his schoolbag and pulled out the photo. “Just 25.”
Surprised and moved，Nick hugged him tightly.
