Question

That was my grandmother's first Christmas without Grandfather. When my parents and I arrived at her little house ,we found she had waited up all night for us.
Grandfather had always said that the Christmas tree was the most important decoration (裝飾物) of all. So first we took out the beautiful tree that was stored in the closet (貯藏室). But the star was missing. It was my grandmother's favorite part of the tree.
"Why? It must be somewhere in the closet," my grandmother said.
As we opened up boxes one by one and found no star, my grandmother's eyes were full of tears. Grandfather had given it to her some fifty years ago, on their first Christmas together. But on her first Christmas without him, the star was gone.
The next morning, my family sat down together to open the presents.
"The last gift is to Grandmother from Grandfather," Father said, in a strange voice.
"From whom?" There was surprise in my grandmother's voice.
"I found this gift in Grandfather's closet when we got the tree down," Mother explained.
My grandmother opened the box. There was a shinning (發亮的) golden star and a note in it:
Don't be angry with me, dear. I broke your star while putting away the decorations, and I couldn't bear to tell you. I hope it brings you as much happiness as the first one. Merry Christmas!
Love,                                                                                                                                         Bryant

試題分析：這篇短文說的是圣誕節那天奶奶收到了爺爺去世前留給她的圣誕節禮物，表達了人間真愛。
小題1:細節理解題。根據文中最后一段中I broke your star while putting away the decorations,（我在整理這些裝飾品的時候弄壞了你的星星）可知圣誕樹上的星星是被爺爺弄壞了，故選C。
小題2:細節理解題。根據全文理解及文中句子As we opened up boxes one by one and found no star, my grandmother's eyes were full of tears.（當我們把盒子一個一個打開沒有找到星星，奶奶的眼里充滿了淚水）可知當星星不見了之后奶奶很傷心，所以B的描述是正確的。
