My aunt and uncle always come heavily loaded with enough food and wine for a whole army. My brother Sal and the 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 30 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.
What does the underlined word "gang" (Line 2, Para. 2 ) probably mean?
A.The rest of the guests.
B.Sal's family members.
C.The writer and her mother.
D.The children of the guests.

听力原文:Richard: Hello, Bob.
Bob: Hello, Richard. How are you?
Richard: Fine, thanks, and you?
Bob: Not too bad. I'm thinking of going on holiday somewhere next month. I don't know if you've made your holiday plans yet, but if not, perhaps you'd like to come with me.
Richard: Thanks, that's very kind of you. Where are you planning to go?
Bob: I thought I might go camping in Scotland. What do you think of that?
Richard: Fine. Sounds like a good idea. And for how long—a fortnight?
Bob: Yes, I'm hoping to have two weeks' holiday next month.
Richard: Good. Well, providing I finish all my work on time, I'll be able to have two weeks' holiday, too.
Bob: Will Joyce be coming with us?
Richard: I'm not sure. Maybe. The problem is that she always gets one week's holiday, and of course she can't really afford a holiday this year.
Bob: Oh, dear! That's a pity! Well, the holiday shouldn't cost very much.
Richard: Suppose you had a lot of money, Bob, where would you like to go for a holiday?
Bob: Oh, I don't know. I think I would probably go to America or Japan.
Richard: If I had a lot of money, and 4 weeks' holiday I would go to Asia, I think, and travel.
Bob: Yes, that would be fantastic. Anyway, stop dreaming. We're going to Scotland and I hope it doesn't rain.
