问题     Christmas Eve (圣诞前夜) arrives at my house each year. The center of the celebration is dinner. My mother spends days preparing a rich variety of seafood. The guest list seldom changes. It is made up of my Aunt Marcy and her husband, my oldest brother, Sal, his wife, and their four children, my sister, Joann, her husband, and their two children, and my second brother, Richard, his wife, and their two children.
   My aunt and uncle always come heavily loaded with enough food and wine for a whole army. My brother Sal and gang usually show up an hour early and empty handed. Joann’ s family is usually late while Richard’ s group generally arrives on time, bearing gifts for everyone. I am in charge of getting the Christmas tree. Plenty of food is served at the dinner table, and all the hours of preparation are wolfed down in a matter of minutes. Along with the yearly repeated menu comes the yearly repeated conversation.
   Everyone talks about how good the food tastes. My mother then talks about all the supermarkets from which the fish was bought. This begins our period of comparison shopping. For at least thirty minutes, we show how better we are than each other at mentioning the bargains we have found.
   Personally, I do not feel the need to be with a crowd on Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve, to me, is a quiet time, a time to think deeply. The over crowdedness and noise ruin my feelings about Christmas. [br] One of the main subjects discussed at the dinner table is ______.
选项 A、the price of goods
B、the kind of seafood
C、the preparation of fish
D、the change of the menu
答案 A
解析 细节题。题干意为“其中在餐桌上他们主要谈论话题之一是什么”。从文章的第三段倒数第一句话For at least 30 minutes, …at mentioning the bargains we have found可知，他们谈论的焦点是谁最能发现便宜的商品，选项中与此相关的是“商品的价格”。所以本题的正确答案为A。
