题目

阅读理解 It was a seventeen-jewel Elgin in a locket-style case, and my mother bought it before she was married in September 1916. It was a typical watch of the era, functional yet decorative and was given to me around the time I was thirteen or fourteen. At that time, it was just another one of the things I owned. When I left for the service in April 1941, I took the watch with me. My unit was sent to the Philippine Islands. While crossing the Pacific, I almost lost the watch after carelessly leaving it tied to a waterline when taking a shower. Thankfully, an honest GI found it and returned it. The watch still did not seem that special to me. It was just one of my practical possessions. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, we retreated to the Bataan Peninsula. Now I started to become a little concerned about my watch. When we were told to surrender to the Japanese, I knew that my watch could become a Japanese souvenir. I didn't want to lose it. I did what I could to outsmart my enemy. Finally, my unit surrendered, and we were sent to a work detail in northern Luzon. One day, I was standing in the dump box of a truck, guarded by one Japanese soldier. His eyes were staring at my pocket and then reached out with a gloved hand. I froze and held my breath, fearing that I was about to lose my now prized possession. Surprisingly, the guard was not curious enough to ask about what I had in my pocket, and again the watch was safe for a while. The work detail lasted about seventy days. After that, we marched on to Cabanatuan Prison Camp, where I remained for two and a half years. There I removed the band from the watch and wrapped the face in medical gauze and tape. It made a small, easy-to-hide package. At last, when my camp was liberated, the watch and I made the trip home. When I walked through the door, I learned that my mother had died. Now her watch, which had become a reminder of my own survival, was also a reminder of her life. （1） How did the writer feel about the watch at first? A . Common. B . Special. C . Prized. D .
