六、阅读理解
34.阅读理解
I grew up on a farm outside Port Clinton, Ohio. I was the youngest son, with four brothers and four sisters, plus a girl my relatives took in when she was in sixth grade and was raised along with us.
By the late 60s, most of us were married and had families of our own. One day, while we were visiting my parents in late summer or early fall, Dad mentioned he'd always wanted a Crimson King maple tree for the yard. Mom agreed that they were pretty.
Like many parents, mine were hard to shop for, so I figured this was a great opportunity to get them something they'd appreciate. I checked the price at work and decided it was a bit more than I could afford but all of my brothers and sisters agreed to help.
In northern Ohio, people don't plant maple trees at Christmas, so we decided to surprise Mom and Dad with a special Christmas in October before the ground froze. We asked my aunt if she'd help us with the trick, and she called my parents in advance to say she was coming for a Sunday visit. Then my sisters and sisters-in-law went into action, planning a big holiday turkey dinner.
On the chosen Sunday, we all met at my house and loaded the trees in a pickup truck. I dressed up as Santa Claus, though at the time I weighed about 140, so all the padding(填料) in the world couldn't make me look like St. Nick. Then off we went, nine or ten cars loaded with people and food, plus the pickup truck.
When the truck arrived at my parents' house, Dad came out of the back door, convinced something was wrong. He and Mom were amazed when we told them why we were there.
When Christmas rolled around, of course, we couldn't go to our parents' house empty-handed, so Mom and Dad got double presents that year. Almost half a century later, I still drive by the old farm and smile when I see those big, handsome trees.

B.Maple trees were very rare in northern Ohio.
C.His parents hoped to have one in the garden.
D.The author liked the maple tree when he was young.
（2）What does the underlined part "the trick" in Paragraph 4 mean
A.The surprise the author was preparing.
B.Spending Christmas in advance.
C.The author's aunt's Sunday visit.
D.Dressing up as Santa Claus.
（3）What can we infer from Paragraph 5
