Question

Anna lived on the side of a valley. One winter, there was a very big flood, and a lot of houses        Anna's were washed away. Anna's house was high enough to escape the flood, so when the water had disappeared and the other houses were       there with no roof and no walls and all covered with mud(泥) , her house was        quite all right.

Her house was quite small, her husband was dead, and she had four children ,       Anna took in one of the families that had lost        in the flood and she        her home with them until it was        for them to rebuild their houses.

Anna's friends were puzzled （迷惑的）when they saw Anna do this. They could not understand why Anna wanted to give       so much more work and trouble when she already had quite a few children to support .

"Well," Anna        her friends, "at the end of the First World War, a woman in the town where I later lived found herself very poor, because her husband         in the war and she had a lot of children,         I have now. The day before Christmas, this woman said to her children, ‘We won’t be able to have much for          this year, so I’m going to         only one present for all of us. Now I’ll go and get it.’ She came back          a girl who was even poorer than they, and who had no parents. ‘Here’s our present, ’ she said to her children. The children were happy to get such a present. They welcomed the little girl, and she grew up as their sister.          was that Christmas present.”
