One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts ,it came without wrap（包装）. On September 11, 1958, mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap（大腿）, saying, “I promised you a gift, and here it is .” What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard mum and dad whispering such words as “hopeless”, “pitiful”，and “dying”, which sounded ominous.
“Christmas was coming, don’t expect any presents this year ”Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. I’d never seen him cry before.
The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say.” What? he’s all right?” he hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital said we could bring Richard home! ”
“Thank god!” I heard Mum cry.
From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them so happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat. But I knew they were not empty: they were filled with love!

(答案→)A 解析：本文介绍了我所度过的一个特别的圣诞节，我的弟弟从医院康复回家了，给我带来了很多的快乐，虽然我用来装礼物的袜子是空的，但是里面充满了幸福。【小题1】细节题。根据第二段第一句On September 11 th , 1 958，Mum gave birth to Richard．说明妈妈生下来弟弟，故A正确。【小题2】推理题。根据本句I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”，“pitiful，and “dying”, which sounded Ominous．“hopeless”，“pitiful，and “dying”都是用来形容弟弟的，真是让人害怕，故D项正确。【小题3】推理题。根据第四段最后一句As he spoke，his eyes filled with tears． I’d never seen him cry before．爸爸哭了说明他很难受，故C正确。【小题4】主旨题：容易选成D。我相信这个家庭因为有亲情，他们内心肯定是快乐的，但是但从文章来看，这件事并不是快乐的。同理，这个圣诞节虽然过得提心吊胆、愁云密布，但最终的结果却是快乐和令人欣慰的，故不选A。
