問題詳情:
I grew up on a farm outside Port Clinton, Ohio. I was the youngest son, with four brothers and four sisters, plus a girl my folks took in. By the late 60s, most of us were ___21___and had families of our own. One day, ___22___ we were visiting my parents in late summer or early fall, Dad mentioned he’d ___23___wanted a Crimson King maple tree for the yard. Mom agreed that they were pretty.
Like many parents, mine were___24___to shop for something, so I ___25___this was a great ___26___to get them something they’d appreciate. I also thought if they wanted one tree, two would be even better. I ___27___the price at work and decided it was a bit more than I could ___28___-but all of my siblings agreed to give a hand.
In northern Ohio, we don’t plant maple trees at Christmas, so we decided to surprise Mom and Dad with a ___29___Christmas in October before the ground froze. We asked my aunt ___30___she’d help us with the deception(欺騙), and she called my parents in ___31___to say she was coming for a Sunday visit. Then my sisters and sisters-in-law went into ___32___, planning a big holiday turkey dinner.
On the ___33___Sunday, we all met at my house and loaded the trees in a pickup truck. I ___34___ up as Santa Claus. Then off we went, nine or 10 cars ___35___with people and food, plus the pickup.
When the caravan(隊伍) ___36___my folks’ house, Dad came rushing out of the back door, convinced something was ___37___. He and Mom were ___38___when we told them why we were there.
When Christmas ___39___, of course, we couldn’t go to our parents’ house empty handed, so Mom and Dad got double presents that year. Almost half a century later, I still drive by the old farmhouse(農莊) and smile when I see those big, handsome ___40___and remember giving a special gift to special people on Christmas in October.
