Exercise 3: Read the text and answer the questions.
I am sometimes amazed at my own children, the way they get angry if they have to do the dishes twice in one week,
the way they act over small bumps and cuts. As a mum, I've had to teach myself to admire bloody baby teeth and clean
the dirt from scraped knees. However, in my mind, my mother's voice and that of my grandmother still come into my
head. "Oh for goodness sake, you aren't hurt!" they used to say. For a moment, I want to tell this new generation about
my little brother calmly spitting out a handful of tooth pieces and going back in to grab the biggest cow in the barn. I
want to tell my children how tough I was, falling asleep at the table with hands so sore that I couldn't hold a fork, or about
their grandmother, who cut off three of her fingers on a piece of farm equipment but finished the job before she came in
to get help. For a moment, I'm terrified I'll make a mistake and tell them to get tough.
Like my parents and grandparents, I was bom and trained to live on a farm. I could rope horses and ride a tractor as
well as my brother, but being female, I also learned to bake bread and can vegetables, and keep my opinions to myself
when others were talking. When an unmarried neighbour asked me out when I was fifteen, my parents were proud and
hopeful. Though he was twelve years older than I was, his other numbers were very promising. He and his father had
over fifteen hundred cows on 36,000 acres of land.
