Answer 1

【主旨大意】關愛父母不僅在于給了父母多少錢，買了什么禮物，還在于從小處時時想到父母。“我”的朋友考慮到媽媽年邁，不能很快地走到電話旁，而第一次撥號提醒，第二次再與媽媽通話。多么可親可愛的人。

16. A 此處為了避免重復，而使用了do 來代替“I think of my parents”

17. C 根據上下文，可知“”母親節我給媽媽買禮物，父親節我也給爸爸買禮物。

18. B 由下文“撥號”可知是打電話。

19. C 由下文可知“我”的朋友考慮到媽媽年邁，不能很快走到電話旁。所以此處應為，大約15分鐘后，其它不符合常理。

20. A 由后面朋友的介紹，可知此處作者對朋友的做法感到不解，想問她“為什么撥兩次號”。

21. D “我的父母年邁，反應慢”。

22. A “我想給他們足夠的時間來接電話”

23. B “她總是時時處處考慮到她的父母”

24. D “你想成為一個好孩子嗎”

25.C  “請從每一個處境考慮你的父母，而不要指在特殊的日子想到”
