When my first wartime Christmas came ， I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I could make it home for the holidays ．Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have three-day passes posted ．I was one of the lucky soldiers．It was Christmas Eve when I arrived home， and a light snow had fallen．Mother opened the front door．I could see beyond her， into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood．There were lights， all colors ， and ornaments(装饰物)shining against the green of a pine ． “Where did it come from?” I asked ． “I asked the Gates boy to cut it，” my mother said．“I wouldn’t have had one just for myself ， but when called-oh ， such a rush ！ He just brought it in this afternoon…” The pine reached to the proper height ， almost to the ceiling， and the Tree Top Krystal Star was its place ．A few green branches reached about a little awkwardly(不够美观地)at the side， I thought ， and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle ．But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas ． “It’s not like the one you used to find，” my mother went on．“Yours were always in good shape．I suppose the Gates boy didn’t know where to look．But I couldn’t be fussy(挑剔的)．” “Don’t worry，” I told her．“It’s perfect.” It wasn’t， of course ， but at the moment I realized something for the first time ： all Christmas trees are perfect ． 1．From the passage， we can infer that ______ ． A ．the writer spent his first Christmas during the war B．soldiers did not all go home for Christmas during the war C．all the soldiers had three-day passes D．the writer could not go home for Christmas 2．When the writer got home ， ______ ． A ．it was December 23 B．it was snowing heavily C．he found a Christmas tree in the living room D．the Gates boy was cutting a Christmas tree for his mother 3．From this passage， we c
