B

When we do some t hing, we all have our own plans. Some people are born planners.

I can’t claim (宣称) to be one of that kind of people. Most of the time, I try to at least expect what might go wrong. I have taken to making lists and, although I’m not yet achieving perfection, I usually manage to achieve goals. But there are times when even the best plans do not succeed. All that is left then is to smile and to make or do something using whatever is found.

Hanukkah (光明节) came early this year, perhaps too soon after Thanksgiving to allow us to prepare well. During the first night of Hanukkah, the Hanukkah candles were nowhere to be found in the entire Dallas area where we lived. Birthday candles wouldn’t work! The tall long thin candle fell in small drops.“What would our ancestors do?” I thought.“What shall I do now? That’s where inge n uity comes from. Don’t be nervous and worried. Never let missing candles spoil a family celebration.”Later what we did find was a bag of tea lights.

The long, silver bread tray became the base for our tea lights. The younger ones were wide-eyed and happy as Grandpa lit the first tea light and all recited the blessing. We sat at the dining table, happy to be together and the food was plentiful.

No matter how imperfect it is, the fact that families gather to share a special event, an event that has held meaning for so many generations of families, is the meaning itself and forms the important part of the observance (仪式). What we need to remember, and to carry with us, is the knowledge that togetherness is much better than all other concerns.

24.How does the author feel about perfect planning according to Paragraph 1?

A. It should be an aim when we are doing things.

B. It is well worth considering carefully.

C. It often takes too much great effort.

D. It plays an important part in our daily life.

25.From the passage, what can we infer?

A. We should know well about our limited weaknesses.

B. We should make the most of the available resources.
