D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）
This was my grandmother’s first birthday without grandfather, and before he passed away, we had promised
him that we would make it her best birthday ever. Grandfather had always said that she expected her birthday party
every day since it was also a time for family reunion (团聚).
When my mom, dad, three sisters and I arrived at her little house, we found she had waited up all night for our
arrival. Once arriving, we immediately set to prepare for the birthday celebration. We ordered a large three-tier
birthday cake and decorated the house with colorful belts and balloons. When everything was ready, I noticed
something was missing.
“Where’s your scarf?” I asked.
That scarf, faded (褪色的) and even older than my mom, was a necessary pan of the yearly celebration.
Grandfather gave it to grandmother forty years ago on their first date. But now, on her first birthday without him,
the scarf was gone, too.
“It must be here somewhere,” she said. “Your grandfather always packed everything so carefully.”
Then we started to search every corner for the missing scarf. As we emptied box after box and found no scarf,my grandmother’s eyes were filled with tears. However, seeing our worried looks, she soon hid her disappointment.
“Check it out! This may be a gift from Grandpa!” my sister shouted as she found a well-wrapped (包装完美
的) box.
Grandmother shakily opened the box. With great joy, she pulled out a brand-new red scarf with a note. Her
voice trembled (颤抖) as she read it aloud:
“Dear, I noticed some tiny holes in your scarf when I washed it. So I thought it was time for a new one. 1 hope
it can bring you as much joy as the first one did. Happy birthday!
Love, Bryant.”
Finally, grandmother blew out the candles in her new scarf, as if grandfather were still with her. It also brought
my grandfather home in each of our hearts and made the party our best birthday celebration ever.
