A light drizzle was falling as my sister Jill and I ran out of the Methodist Church, eager to get home and play with the presents that Santa had left for us and our baby sister, Sharon. Across the street from the church was a Pan American gas station where the Greyhound bus stopped. It was closed for Christmas, but I noticed a family standing outside the locked door,
huddled
under the narrow overhang in an attempt to keep dry. I wondered briefly why they were there but then forgot about them as I raced to keep up with Jill.
Once we got home, there was barely time to enjoy our presents. We had to go off to our grandparents’ house for our annual Christmas dinner. As we drove down the highway through town, I noticed that the family were still there, standing outside the closed gas station.
My father was driving very slowly down the highway. The closer we got to the turn off for my grandparents’ house, the slower the car went. Suddenly, my father U-turned in the middle of the road and said, "I can’t stand it!" "What?" asked my mother. "They’ve got children. It’s Christmas. I can’t stand it. "
When my father pulled into the service station, I saw that there were five of them—the parents and three children — two girls and a small boy. My father rolled down his window. "Merry Christmas," he said. "Howdy," the man replied. He was very tall and had to stoop slightly to peer into the car. "You are waiting for the bus?" my father asked. The man said that they were. They were going to Birmingham, where he had a brother and prospects of a job.
"Well, that bus isn’t going to come along for several hours, and you’re getting wet standing here. Winborn is just a couple miles up the road. They’ve got a shed with a cover there and some benches," My father said, "Why don’t you all get in the car and I’ll run you up there."
The man thought about it for a moment, and then he beckoned to his family. They climbed into the car. They had no luggage, only the clothes they were wearing.
Once they settled in, my father looked back over his shoulder and asked the children if Santa had found them yet. Three gloomy faces gave him his answer.
"Well I didn’t think so," my father said, winking at my mother, "because when I saw Santa this morning, he told me that he was having trouble finding all, and he asked me if he could leave your toys at my house. We’ll just go to get them before I take you to the bus stop. "
All at once, the three children’s faces lit up, and they began to bounce around in the back seat, laughing and chattering.
When we got out of the car at our house, the three children ran through the front door and straight to the toys that were spread out under our Christmas tree. One of the girls spied Jill’s doll and immediately hugged it to her breast. I remember that the little boy grabbed Sharon’s ball. And the other girl picked up something of mine. All this happened a long time ago, but the memory of it remains clear. That was the Christmas when my sisters and I learned the joy of making others happy.
The three children of the family were gloomy probably because______.
选项
A、they didn’t have new clothes to wear
B、they hadn’t got any presents for Christmas
C、they were unwilling to move to another city
D、they missed the friends they had made
答案
B
解析
事实细节题。第七段中提到,作者的爸爸问三个孩子圣诞老人有没有找到他们,三张沮丧的小脸告诉了他答案。由此可知,三个孩子沮丧是因为圣诞老人没找到他们,没给他们送来礼物,故答案为[B]项。其他三个选项均属于无中生有,文中未提及,故排除。
