My father used to work in the city and seldom stayed at home. But he would come back help (收割) rice every year.

One autumn, he promised to help our neighbor, who lost his arms in a traffic accident in 1999, to harvest our rice. After Father harvested our town, his little rice picker broke. What's worse, he had to return to work the next day because his partner is ill in hospital. It meant that Father wouldn't be back in a few days. It now seemed impossible to help out the neighbor.

Father told us that he wouldn't let the neighbor's rice rot (腐烂) in the field. He decided to harvest it by hand without a machine. "If tonight's weather is clear, I think I can do it," added my father. In fact, he was rather tired after a day's harvest work.

After dinner, Father had a short rest and made his way to the field. A full moon was glowing (发光) in the sky and the weather was cold but clear. He spent the whole night keeping his word.

I would never forget the image (画面): Father was cutting rice in the light of the harvest moon. Behind him, row after row of rice stocks (秸秆) stood at attention, showing respect for a man who kept his word.

答案及解析：

61. No, he didn't.根据文章第一句“My father used to work in the city and seldom stayed at home.”可知，父亲过去常常在城市工作，很少待在家里，所以答案为否定回答。

62. 根据文章第二段第一句“One autumn, he promised to help our neighbor, who lost his arms in a traffic accident in 1999, to harvest our rice.”可知，邻居在1999年的一场交通事故中失去了双臂，所以答案为“He lost his arms in a traffic accident.”

63.根据文章第二段第三句“What's worse, he had to return to work the next day because his partner is ill in hospital.”可知，父亲必须回去工作是因为他的搭档生病住院了，所以答案为“Because his partner was ill in hospital.”

64. 根据文章第三段第二句“He decided to harvest it by hand without a machine.”可知，父亲决定不用机器，而是用手帮邻居收割水稻，所以答案为“He helped the neighbor harvest rice by hand without a machine.”

65. 根据文章第四段最后一句“He spent the whole night keeping his word.”可知，父亲花了一整晚的时间来收割邻居的水稻，所以答案为“He spent the whole night.”
