Every American family has its own traditions on Thanksgiving Day, and mine is not different. Once the national holiday arrives, my mom rises early to make the meal. She puts a turkey in the oven, chops carrots and bakes pies. I’ m sorry to say that the men in the family—my dad, my younger brother and myself—rarely pitch in to help. Our job is to wash a mountain of dirty dishes after the meal is over.
Around 2 p.m. every Thanksgiving Day, family members seat themselves around the kitchen table. Plates of turkey , vegetables, salad, rolls and pies cover it. At this point, we can hardly keep ourselves from drooling(流口水) all over our fancy clothes, but it’ s not yet time to eat.
First, we must bow our heads, close our eyes and say a prayer of thanks aloud to God for giving us everything we have. Under normal circumstances, I would have no problem making a list of things I am thankful for. I grew up in a loving family. My parents, who aren’ t wealthy, took out loans to help me pay for university.
But, the funny thing is, every time I sit down for Thanksgiving dinner and try to say a prayer of thanks, my mind usually goes blank. I think it has something to do with my growling(咕咕叫) stomach and all of that food sitting right there under my nose.
Eventually, though, we all finish our short prayers and
dig in
. To be sure, the day includes other highlights—visiting family and watching football. But usually around 1 p. m. we are all ourselves stuffed like turkeys and thankful to have a nice warm bed to sleep in.
What can we infer from the text?
选项
A、On Thanksgiving Day, men do nothing but eat.
B、The author is a middle school student.
C、The author’ s family is not rich, but it’ s a loving one.
D、Thanksgiving Day falls on Thursday of December.
答案
C
解析
根据第一段最后一句“Our job is to wash a mountain of dirty dishes after the meal is over.”可知,男士需要在晚饭后洗盘子,他们并不是什么家务都不做,所以A项不正确;根据第三段最后两句“I grew up in a loving family.My parents,who aren’t wealthy,took out loans to help me pay for university.”可知,作者的家庭充满了爱,父母虽然不富裕,但他们通过贷款来支付作者的大学学费,由此可推知,作者已经上了大学,他的家庭虽然不富裕但充满了爱,所以B项不正确,C项正确;文中并未提到感恩节的日期,且根据常识可知,感恩节是每年11月的第四个星期四,所以D项不正确。故选C。
