【解析】这篇短文给我们讲述了一个生于贫困家庭的年轻人，努力拼搏，不仅赡养家人，考上大学，还去帮助别人。所以当我们面对困难的时候，我们不能抱怨，也不能放弃，要有勇气去面对，并对别人充满爱心和关怀。

【1】句意：这个年轻人1982年出生在一个小镇上的贫穷家庭里。rich 富有的；happy 快乐的；poor贫穷的。根据下文Through his hard life, the young man is regarded as…可知，这个年轻人的家庭生活是很贫困的，故应选C。

【2】句意：一年后，他的妈妈带着他的弟弟离开了家，因为她不能忍受贫困的生活以及来自她的疯子丈夫的压力。father 父亲；mother母亲；sister姐妹。根据because she couldn’t stand hard life and pressure from her mad husband.可知，这个疯子丈夫说的是那个年轻人的父亲，因此这里说的是他的母亲，故应选B。

【3】句意：这个12岁的孩子开始养活他的家庭。support 支持，赡养；organize组织；like喜欢。根据下句话he took care of not only his sick father, but also the little girl.可知，这个年轻人12岁就开始照顾生病的父亲和那个小女孩，所以这里是养活这个家庭，故应选A。

【4】句意：为了照顾那个小女孩，他在大学附近租了一个房间，并通过做一些兼职来支付他的学费。went 去；afforded支付得起；ended结束。根据空后his education by doing part-time jobs可知，这里说的是支付学费，故应选B。

【5】句意：虽然他的生活很艰苦，但是他没有放弃他的父亲和他的妹妹，因为他们需要他的帮助。Although 虽然，引导让步状语从句；Unless除非，如果不，引导条件状语从句；If如果，引导条件状语从句。根据句意…his life was hard, he didn’t abandon…可知，这两句话之间的转折的关系，故应选A。
