Question

I found the imagination of becoming a grandmother somewhat discouraging. I was younger than I thought a grandmother should be when I got the news that I was going to become one myself. I admit, it was not a role that I was emotionally ready to accept. I had been a young mother, and had certainly hoped my daughter would not face that same challenge. I remarried when she was a teenager, and then had two more children. On getting the news that she was expecting(懷孕), I remember thinking “What do I know about being a grandmother? —I haven’t even finished raising my own kids yet!” I don’t like to be unprepared, so I read a few books about grandparenting. That gave me a little help, but I was still uncertain. I thought about other grandmothers I knew, and got a few ideas I liked and a few more that I didn’t. But I couldn’t quite figure out what kind of grandmother I wanted to be. Then I thought about my own grandmother, Granny, as she’s known by most people, and I knew I had the answer.

I didn’t realize it until that moment, but my own grandmother was the example for the kind of grandmother I wanted to be. I am fortunate that I got to spend a lot of time with my grandparents when I was a little kid. Here is what I learned from my Granny：

Grandmothers always have a cookie jar. For my whole life, Granny always had a cookie jar full of cookies. When I was a little tiny girl, just at eye level with the counter, Granny would get the cookie jar down for me. When I was a little older I learned how to pull the chair over so I could reach. As I got taller, if I really stretched, I could reach the cookie jar with my finger tips and move it close enough to get it down off the counter to find out what kind of treat was inside. Always the first thing I did when I went to Granny’s house was check the cookie jar, and there were always cookies in it. Many years later, I’ll drive my own children to Granny’s house and the first thing to do is get us all a cookie.

So grandmothers must have a cookie jar, and on my granddaughter’ s first Christmas，my daughter bought me my own cookie jar. She said when they came to see me，her daughter would find the treat the way she did and I did.

【解析】文章講述的是一個媽媽還沒有做好作外婆的心理準備，從對自己外婆的回憶中找到了一些幫助。

1.事實細節(jié)題，根據(jù)第一段I was younger than I thought a grandmother should be when I got the news that I was going to become one myself，I admit, it was not a role that I was emotionally ready to accept可知，作者認為自己還太年輕，心里還沒有做好準備。

2.推理判斷題，根據(jù)I had been a young mother, and had certainly hoped my daughter would not face that same challenge可知，作者曾經(jīng)是一個年輕的媽媽，希望她的女兒不要面對相同的挑戰(zhàn)，挑戰(zhàn)就是做一個年輕的媽媽。

3.推理判斷題，最后一段作者講述了她印象中的奶奶的，印象最深刻的就是餅干罐。

4.推理判斷題，作者通過自己的回憶，找到了自己的方向，自己也要變成她自己奶奶那樣，有一個放餅干的罐子。

5.文章主要通過自己的回憶，講述了餅干罐在她心目中的地位，并且給了她如何作一個奶奶/外婆一些幫助。
