题目内容：

I grew up on a farm in the small rural (乡下的) community of Catawissa, Missouri, as the sixth of seven children. 1. In the fall of 1970, he was working on a house when the ladder broke. His back was broken.

He stayed in the hospital for three weeks. When Dad returned home, he was still in a back brace(支架) and unable to work. 2.

One night we heard a car coming up. 3. Rose was at the door, holding an envelope filled with money. She told my dad she had collected money and was there to deliver it

4. I can still hear her saying, “Archie, whenever someone’s baler (干草打包机) is broken, you bale their hay. Someone passes away, Altha is cooking. It’s our turn.”

That evening, this 6-year-old understood what being a good neighbor was, and that because her parents were good neighbors, their kindness would be returned. I learned later my mom’s sisters all “adopted” one of us kids to help with Christmas, and we received gift baskets from more than one organization.

My parents were used to being the givers and not the receivers of such generosity (慷慨). 5.

A. He tried to protest but Rose would have none of it.

B. Besides running the farm, Dad was also a carpenter.

C. Apart from a carpenter, Dad was also running a farm.

D. We kids were always curious about who was visiting.

E. I was too young to realize our family had no money coming in as Christmas approached.

F. It was comforting to be helped when in trouble, but what was important was to help others in return.

G. They had a bit of pride to swallow, but continued all of their lives to show us kids the value of kindness.
