Mr. Brown was in school for only one year when he was young and later on he was made to help his father to work in the fields. There wasn’t e 小题1:   rain for several years and though there was a river nearby, the water was polluted. The farmers dared not w 小题2:  their corn with the polluted water. So they had several poor harvests. They had l  小题3:   food and sometimes they were hungry. One year his parents died of hunger and there was no one to care for him. He had to go to find work in the town and he learned to drive a truck in a factory.

He tries his best to s 小题4:   everything even if a pound, and hardly eats in a restaurant. He’s good at c 小题5:   and always takes some food he has made at home with him when he goes to work in the morning.
