试题分析：这篇短文中的汤姆失业了，因为有孩子需要喂养，因此他拿了牧师的一只火鸡。为了得到心灵的安慰，就去教堂巧言获得牧师的原谅。最后牧师才发现，原来汤姆拿的是自己的火鸡。

1.根据短文第一段Tom lost his work last year and he didn’t find a job from then on. He was very worried.描述，可知汤姆担忧的原因是，他去年失业了，并且还没有找到工作。故答：he lost his work last year and he didn’t find a job.

2.根据第一段His sons and daughters were often hungry. 描述，可知他的孩子们经常感到饿。故答：They felt hungry.

3.根据短文第一段描述，可知本句指的是，他有儿女需要喂养。动词不定式做宾语表示具体的将要进行的动作，故填：to feed，喂养，养育。

4.联系前文描述，可知此处牧师说的是，你必须把它归还给它的主人。Must是情态动词，故填原形动词return （归还）

5.根据短文最后一段描述，可知汤姆拿的是这个牧师的火鸡。故答：He took it from the pastor.
