Question

An old man lived with his family. The family would eat together nightly at the dinner table. But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon, dropping to the floor. When he grasped his glass of milk, it often spilled clumsily(笨拙地) at the tablecloth.
With this happening almost every night, the son and daughter-in-law became annoyed with the mess.
“We must do something about grandfather,” said the son.
“I’ve had enough of his milk spilling, noisy eating and food on the floor,” the daughter-in-law agreed.
So the couple set a small table at the corner.
There, grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed their dinner at the dinner table. Since grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in wooden bowls. Sometimes when the family looked in grandfather’s direction, he had tears in his eyes as he ate alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp warnings when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The four-year-old watched it all in silence.
One evening, before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood pieces on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?” Just as sweetly, the boy replied, “Oh, I’m making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up.” The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.
These words so struck the parents that they were speechless. Then tears streamed down their cheeks. Though no words were spoken, both knew what must be done.

试题分析：本文叙述了一位风烛残年的老人因为吃饭总是带来很多麻烦，让儿子和儿媳很反感，所以他们在角落里单独给老人摆了张桌子。后来老人吃饭时打坏了餐具，他们就给了他一个木碗吃饭。当老人把叉子掉到地上或撒饭的时候，那夫妻俩也总是尖刻地警告，老人很伤心。四岁的孙子默默地看着所发生的一切。有一天父亲发现了孩子在为他们夫妻俩做一个木碗，而且说长大后要让他们也用木碗吃饭。他们突然醒悟了。
小题1:细节理解题。根据第一段“But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult.”可知爷爷吃饭很困难是因为他年老体弱，故选B。
小题2:细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Since grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in wooden bowls.”可知夫妻俩给老人用木碗盛饭是为了防止他再打破盘子。故选.C。
小题3:推理判断题。根据最后两段，儿子说长大后要让他们也用木碗吃饭。听到这话他们无语了，可见他们突然意识到自己对待老人的方式，对孩子产生了不好的影响，可以推断出他们以后会善待老人。所以他们会让老人再和他们一起吃饭的。故选C。
