【导语】本文讲述了在感恩节的时候,作者带着一些剩下的食物去看望一位无家可归的老人,老人的话让他很是感动。
1.句意:她穿着脏衣服,嘴巴里几乎没有牙齿。根据“her mouth was nearly toothless”可知,时态为一般过去时,动词要用过去式;wear“穿着”,过去式为wore。故填wore。
2.句意:如果她没有睡着,她就自言自语。根据“If she was not asleep, she talked to ...”和所给词可知,她和自己交谈,talk to oneself“自言自语”;由“she”可知,应填herself,表示“她自己”。故填herself。
3.句意:有一次感恩节,我们剩下了很多食物。根据下文“So I packed the food up ...”可推知,是剩了很多食物,leave over“剩下”;再根据“we had lots of food ... over.”可知,have sth. done“
