[　　] A． Beth's mother． B． Beth's father． C． Beth's grandmother． D． Beth's grandfather． (2) Before thrown into the wagon, the hay must be ________． [　　] A． tied up B． dried up C． cut up D． lined up (3) In the eyes of the author, the sight of Beth baling hay is ________． [　　] A． uncommon B． beautiful C． unforgettable D． changeable (4) We can learn from the passage that at some time in the past the author ________． [　　] A． bought the tractor for Beth B． forced Beth to work at an early age C． worked in the field like Beth D． trained the dog to help Beth work (5) It can be inferred from the story that ________． [　　] A． Beth is now twenty years old B． Beth trained her dog well C． the writer doesn't bother to give Beth a hand D． the writer enjoys drinking lemonade more than watching Beth working
