One day when the ladies got together for a card game，they started missing the "old days" with MaMaw and PaPaw. They remembered how MaMaw made and sent cakes to families who

### 四、完形填空
在田纳西州，你会发现一个由9名女性组成的“小团体”，她们自称“九位娜娜”。这个团体的任务很简单，就是把快乐传递给那些有需要的人。这9名女性所做的工作已经是一个秘密，持续了30多年。甚至她们的丈夫都不知道这些女士们在忙什么！
这9名女性视彼此为姐妹，她们从小就在一起。她们中有几个人是由玛莫和帕波抚养长大的，这对夫妇总是为邻居们做好事。
有一天，当这些女士们聚在一起玩纸牌游戏时，她们开始怀念和玛莫、帕波在一起的“旧日时光”。她们记得玛莫是如何制作蛋糕并送给那些刚刚失去亲人的家庭的。她不需要认识他们。如果玛莫听说附近有人去世了，她会立刻走进厨房。
所以姐妹们决定，她们也应该开始为自己的社区做好事。她们知道需要钱。就在那时，她们计划自己洗衣服，而不是花钱请人洗，以便把钱省下来做善事。
“所以我们九个人中，我们每个月能存大约400美元，我们的丈夫没有注意到任何异常。他们的衬衫看起来都很好，”其中一位姐妹说。
于是，“九位娜娜”诞生了。每当她们听说有人需要帮助时，她们都会尽力帮忙，比如为一位失去丈夫的女士支付账单，或者为一位单身妈妈的孩子买新衣服。她们会寄出一个包裹，里面会有一个玛莫做的蛋糕和一张写着“有人爱你”的便条。这9名女性证明了一个小小的计划也能产生巨大的影响。
