About five weeks ago, I noticed the skin of our pet lizard was growing dusty. It worried me. I reported the strange surface on the skin of the lizard to my husband and children the next morning. Seconds later, our lizard emerged from its tank with its old skin flowing behind it.
I didn’t think about it much until a morning last week when I knocked my favorite teapot off the table. It burst into hundreds of pieces. As I swept up the mess, I wondered why we had been breaking so many things over the months.
The destruction started three months ago. It was my husband’s birthday. He had just lost his job. The uncertainty was starting to wear on us, so I wanted to do something special.
"Let’s make a cake for Dad. " I cried.
My kids screamed with joy. We baked, iced and sprinkled for most of the day. Candles on the cake! Balloons on the walls! Flowers on the table |
Two hours before my husband came back home from another job interview, my daughter climbed up to grab a glass vase from a high shelf. It fell and crashed beside the cake. Tiny pieces of glass were everywhere. She sobbed loudly as I threw the cake away. My husband had banana pudding for his birthday.
Three days ago, the light in our living room suddenly went out. After several frustrating hours of unsuccessful attempts to fix it, my husband suggested watching the Michael Jordan documentary series The Last Dance.
The poignancy of Jordan retiring from his beloved basketball to play baseball and what had pushed him to make such a tough decision took me by surprise. As I watched him take off his basketball uniform and replace it with a baseball uniform, I saw him
leaving behind the layer
that no longer served him, just as our lizard had. Neither of them chose the moment that had transformed them. But they had to live with who they were after everything was different. Just like us. I realized that we have to learn to leave the past behind.
Humans do not shed skin as easily as other animals. The beginning of change is upsetting. The process is tiring. Damage changes us before we are ready. I see our lizard, raw and nearly new.
Jordan said that no matter how it ends, it starts with hope. With our tender, hopeful skin, that is where we begin.
Why did the author’s husband have banana pudding for his birthday?
选项
A、The birthday cake was ruined.
B、The author made good puddings.
C、Pudding was his favorite dessert.
D、They couldn’t afford a birthday cake.
答案
A
解析
细节理解题。根据第六段“就在我丈夫参加另一场工作面试回家的前两个小时。我女儿爬到一个高高的架子上,抓起一个玻璃花瓶。它掉下来,摔碎在蛋糕旁边。到处都是细小的玻璃碎片。我把蛋糕扔掉时,她大声哭泣。我丈夫过生日时吃了香蕉布丁”可知,作者的丈夫过生日时吃了香蕉布丁是因为生日蛋糕被毁了。故选A。
