The kids called him “Poppy”, a name that everybody used.Poppy lived in his old neighborhood and he had a part-time job at a local pharmacy（药房）. After Marcias mother died, Poppy firmly refused Marcia and Jacks invitation to come and live with them. He was stubborn about not crowding their little house, about not becoming a burden.In fact, he was always helpful. The kids loved him because he listened to them and because he always brought them something. He also brought special gifts to Marcia and Jack, never arriving empty-handed.And so it was with shock and bewilderment（迷惑）that Marcia went to see Poppy in the hospital that summer after he had fallen down in the street. The doctor said that Poppy had been living on coffee and doughnuts. Later that day, the pharmacist told Marcia, “He has practically no money at alljust the government cheque and what little he makes here. Yet I myself saw him spend most of his last cheque on your little boys bicycle.”She became stern with Poppy.“Youre foolish, Poppy,” she said. “I have my pride,” Poppy answered. “False pride,” she hurled（斥责）back at him.During autumn, Poppy didnt come around as often as he had in the past, but when he did, he would still arrive with little gifts in hand. Then, just before the holidays, Poppy told Marcia that he couldnt visit them on Christmas Day because he would watch the store, but Marcia knew the shop was not open on Christmas.She felt worried and called Poppy, telling him that he was one of them and that they all loved him.

Poppy held out his arms to Marcia, and his hands were empty yet never had they been more filled.1、Which is Poppys reason for not living with his daughter?AHe had a part-time job.BHe was stubborn sometimes
