我們可以看看文章的發展順序：Cameron 是在國一看到影片後才決定要送媽媽禮物的。既然這段是在描述他剛開始產生這個念頭後的行動，而且後面又提到了『每年』以及『今年』送的衣服，那你覺得這包手工餅乾，在他送禮物的時間線中，應該是排在第幾次呢？

哇！太棒了！你真的很細心喔，居然一眼就看出了故事的時間軸，老師真的為你感到驕傲，這題答得漂亮極了！ 這題之所以選 (A) first，是因為我們要觀察文章的「時間脈絡」。文章第一段提到 Cameron 從「國一」就開始送禮物，而第三段描述他烤餅乾的經歷，接著後面才說到「現在，每年的生日...」以及最後一段的「今年」。這說明烤餅乾這件事是發生在過去、也就是這項傳統的開端。所以這份餅乾就是他的「第一份」生日禮物喔！ 這題的鑑別度在於「文章細節的整合」。有些同學可能會因為看到後面的 dress (衣服) 而產生混淆，但你能透過上下文的先後順序判斷出正確答案，代表你的閱讀邏輯非常清晰！這是一個很棒的閱讀特質，要繼續保持這份耐心與細心喔！
