【解析】一個老人為了讓孩子們回家過感恩節(jié)，撒謊騙他們說他們老兩口要離婚，孩子們聽說了這個事以為是真的，答應(yīng)馬上回家來。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中The son called his sister in Hampton at once可知，這個老人先給兒子打電話，兒子又給他的姐姐打電話告訴她這個消息，由此我們可以知道，這個老人有兩個孩子，故應(yīng)選D。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文的最后The old man hung up（掛斷）the phone and shouted to his wife, “OK, they are coming for Thanksgiving. What are we going to tell them for Christmas?”可知，老人和他的妻子根本沒有什么事，他們是為了讓孩子們回家過感恩節(jié)，撒謊說兩個人要離婚。故應(yīng)選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中The son called his sister in Hampton at once and told her the news可知，老人的女兒是從她的弟弟那里知道了這個消息，故應(yīng)選A。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文意可知，故事中的老人為了讓孩子們回家過感恩節(jié)，打電話騙他的兒子說他們兩口要離婚，兒子和女兒答應(yīng)馬上回來調(diào)和。由此可見，他們的孩子平時是很少回家，所以老人才撒謊篇他們回來。故應(yīng)選B。
