Questions31-35 are based on the following passage.
One summer day my father sent me to buy wire and fencing for our farm. At 16, I like nothing better than getting behind the wheel of our family pickup, but this time there was something bothering me. My father had told me I’d have to ask for credit at the store.
Sixteen is a proud age, when a young man wants respect, not pity. It was 1976, and the ugly shadow of racism was still a fact of life in some parts of the country. I’d seen my friends ask for credit and then be rudely asked whether they were “good for it”.
My family was honest. We paid our debt. But before harvest, cash was short. Would the store owner trust us?
At Davis Brothers General Store, Buck Davis stood behind the register, talking to a farmer. Buck was a tall, weathered man in red hunting shirt, and I nodded as I passed him on my way to the hardware counter. When I bought my purchases to the register, I said carefully. “I need to put this on credit.”
The farmer gave me a strange look. But Buck’s face didn’t change. “Sure,” he said easily. “Your daddy is good for it.” He turned to the other man. “This boy is one of James Williams’ sons.”
The farmer nodded in a friendly way. I was filled with pride. James Williams’ son. Those three words had opened a door to an adult’s respect and trust. That day I discovered that a good name was of great value. The good name my father and mother had earned brought our whole family the respect of our neighbors. Everyone knew what to expect from a Williams: a decent person who kept his word and respected himself too much to do wrong.
