【题文】Recently we celebrated my grandmother's 90th birthday. Family members traveled to my hometown to visit her. This was the first time in many years that I had seen many of them. My aunt said how much she missed everyone. Though this was an opportunity to see family, many people did not make it. Honestly, I usually didn't go there. Living far from home, I had missed many family gatherings. But this one made me realize how much I was really missing. Looking at the faces, realizing whom they are and then greeting them with open arms is strange. After chatting for a while, we caught up on each other's news. Several relatives suggested having a family reunion soon if everyone wasn't so busy. But my grandmother's generation was much busier, yet still found time to gather. They understood the importance of visiting one another. They knew time is flying and that those you care about most won't be here forever. Today, we focus on our careers and raising our own kids. Our extended family isn't the center it once was. Besides, we keep in touch on social media. But what we really miss are the potato salad, the moments of laughter and sudden bursts of excitement when we hug someone we haven't seen in over 10 years. Although the next get-together is always a year or so away, people aren't goods and everyone has an expiration(到期)date. I left my grandmother's party with a much better sense of who I am and where I come from. I spent valuable time with people who contributed to who I am today. I had forgotten how much I love them and I was reminded how much I am loved.【小题1】How did the author feel about missing previous family gatherings?A．Indifferent.B．Sad.C．Regretful.D．Annoyed.【小题2】What do we know about the author's grandmother's generation?A．They were carefree.B．They held family dear.C．They took time seriously.D．They visited family frequently.【小题3】What does the author mean by the last sentence in paragraph 3?A．Family reunions mean no fun.B．All goods don't have an expiration date.C．People are always too busy to get together.D．We should see loved ones more before it's too late.【小题4】Why does the author write the text?A．To convince readers to meet friends.B．To share an interesting family reunion.C．To stress the value of family gatherings.D．To compare different generations' values.
