问题     Christmas Eve (圣诞前夜) arrives at my house each year. The center of the celebration is dinner. My mother spends days preparing a rich variety of seafood. The guest list seldom changes. It is made up of my Aunt Marcy and her husband, my oldest brother, Sal, his wife, and their four children, my sister, Joann, her husband, and their two children, and my second brother, Richard, his wife, and their two children.
   My aunt and uncle always come heavily loaded with enough food and wine for a whole army. My brother Sal and gang usually show up an hour early and empty handed. Joann’ s family is usually late while Richard’ s group generally arrives on time, bearing gifts for everyone. I am in charge of getting the Christmas tree. Plenty of food is served at the dinner table, and all the hours of preparation are wolfed down in a matter of minutes. Along with the yearly repeated menu comes the yearly repeated conversation.
   Everyone talks about how good the food tastes. My mother then talks about all the supermarkets from which the fish was bought. This begins our period of comparison shopping. For at least thirty minutes, we show how better we are than each other at mentioning the bargains we have found.
   Personally, I do not feel the need to be with a crowd on Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve, to me, is a quiet time, a time to think deeply. The over crowdedness and noise ruin my feelings about Christmas.
How does the writer feel about Christmas at her house?

选项 A、She thinks there is too much waste.
B、She thinks people eat too much fish.
C、She doesn’ t like the way it is celebrated.
D、She doesn’t like doing the preparation work.

答案C

解析 推理题。题干意为“文章的作者对在自己家过圣诞节前夜是怎样的态度”。从文章的最后一段内容可知,作者并不喜欢这样的庆祝,她认为没有必要聚在一起,还是安静地过圣诞比较好。所以本题的正确答案为C。
