（2021·昆明摸底測(cè)試）Washington is home to lots of trees. It is the Evergreen State， with lots of fireplaces and wood？__________burning stoves there too. But what if you lived there and couldn？__________t cut wood or couldn？__________t afford to pay someone to do it？? ? ?1? ? Shane McDaniel and his twin sons are? ? 2? ? to lend a hand. The three men? ? 3? ? truckloads of wood， and then donate it to those? ? 4? ? . They want to help people who are burning cardboard because they？__________ve got nothing or someone with no money who has a? ? 5? ? shoulder and can？__________t cut wood.

The idea started as a father？__________son bonding? ? 6? ? .“I had to cut wood with my dad. He just? ? 7? ? doing it，” says one of the sons. They spent the summer of 2018 cutting wood day after day. The? ? 8? ? was a great wall of wood? ? 9? ? around their house. Technically， to? ? 10? ? that much would cost about $10，000.

It was too? ? 11? ? for the McDaniels to use themselves， and when the weather turned? ? 12? ? ?that November， Shane started thinking of others. He posted on Facebook： “If you want some firewood and can？__________t? ? 13? ? it， please inform me！ If you know someone who burns wood， and they？__________re living in a cold house this holiday season， please help us? ? 14? ? them. Please help me and my? ? 15? ? make sure no one goes cold in our neighborhood.”

The? ? 16? ? was immediate. One man? ? 17? ? to donate a wood？__________burning stove. Others raced over to Norm？__________s， the shop Shane owns， with more? ? 18? ? for the pile. Single mom Katelyn Ticer and her daughter rely on a wood？__________burning stove as their only source of? ? 19? ? ， so it was a? ? 20? ? to receive a truckload of firewood from the McDaniels before the holidays. “To get that much wood brought me to tears，” she told msn.com.“So much stress and anxiety is off my shoulders. I couldn？__________t be more thankful. ”
