"Any apples today? " Effie asked cheerfully at my window. I followed her to her truck and bought a kilo. On credit, of course.【C1】________ "Pay me whenever you like, " said Effie, climbing back into her truck.
All pretence of payment was dropped when our funds, food and fuel decreased to alarming lows. Effie came often, always bringing some gift: a jar of peaches or some firewood. There were other generosities. Our baby was not doing well, so Effie financed my wife’s trip to New York for consultation with a specialist.
【C2】________ Her income, derived from investments she had made while running an interior decorating shop, had never exceeded $200 a month, which she supplemented by selling her apples. But she always managed to help someone poorer.
Years passed before I was able to return the money Effie had given me from time to time. She was ill now and had aged rapidly in the last year. "Here, darling, " I said, "is what I owe you. "
"Don’t give it to me all at once, " she said. "【C3】________" I think she believed there was magic in the slow discharge of a love debt.
The simple fact is that I never repaid the whole amount to Effie, for she died a few weeks later.【C4】________But a curious thing began to happen.
Whenever I saw a fellow human in financial trouble, I was moved to help him. I can’t afford to do this always, but in the ten years since Effie ’s death, I have indirectly repaid my debt to her.
The oddest part of the whole affair is that people whom I help often help others later on.【C5】________.So the account can never be marked closed, for Effie’s love will go on in hearts that have never known her.
[A] At that time, it seemed that my debt would forever go unsettled.
[B] Give your help to those in greater need.
[C] Effie was not a rich woman.
[D] Effie worked diligently all her life.
[E] Cash was the one thing in the world I lacked just then.
[F] By now, the few dollars Effie gave me have been multiplied many times.
[G] Give it back as I gave it to you—a little at a time.
【C4】
选项
答案
F
解析
根据前一句“The simple fact is that I never repaid the whole amount to Effie, for she died a few weeks later. ”可知,作者没还清埃菲的钱,埃菲就已经过世了。综观各选项,只有F项“当年埃菲给作者的钱现在已经翻了许多倍”能承接上下文,故选F。
