2.As I held my father's hands one night,I couldn't help but notice their calluses(老茧)and roughness.His hands tell the story of his life as a(31)B,including all his struggles.
One summer,I remember,a drought (旱灾)hit Ontario,turning it into a(32)Cdesert.On one of those hot mornings I was picking sweet corn with my dad to fill the last order from the grocery store.Fifty dozen was all we needed,which(33)Dtook twenty minutes.That morning,however,the process didn't(34)Aquickly.After forty minutes of aimlessly walking in the field,we(35)Cneeded twenty dozen.I was completely frustrated and(36)A.Dropping the basket heavily,I declared,"If the store wants its last twenty dozen,they can pick it themselves."Dad(37)D."Just think,my little girl,only ten dozen left for each of us and then we're done."Such is Dad----whatever problem he(38)D,he never gives up.
(39)C,the disastrous effects of the drought were felt all over our county.It was a challenging time for everyone,(40)ADad remained optimistic.He continued to be grateful for other things like good health and food on our plate.Only then did I truly begin to appreciate Dad and his faith that guided us through the hard times.
