阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

    It was midday when I got the call that my grandfather was not well and he was quickly getting worse. My family didn't know how long he would stay in the world. I knew I had to get to the hospital to tell him how much I loved him. As I drove to the hospital, I pictured him before I got to tell him how much he meant to me. Trying to fight back the tears, I wanted to stay calm when I saw him.

    When I got to the hospital, I hurriedly looked for his hospital room. I found him in a semi-conscious state*. On my knees, I said softly, "Hello, Grandpa."

    Still feeling shy, I decided not to leave his bedside without letting him know. When I asked about how he was, he told me, "I'll be fine, Henry." But we both knew that wasn't true. Then he asked me with a smile how I was doing.

    Hearing what my grandpa said, I was much moved. I made the decision that I had to show my gratitude for him. As I found all the courage* I had, I hold his hand tightly. I cried out, "Grandpa, I just want to let you know how much I love you. I hope you already know that yet. I just want to make sure." By this time, the tears were rolling down my face. All those years of love that I had shut and not let him know became free.

    Smiling, he said," I know. Thank you for telling me that." "All I have on this planet is my family and my love for them. If there is anything I could ask of you, I want you to be good to your family: your mother, your father, and your brother. That's all I want of you."

    From then on, I began telling people how much I loved them, cared for them, and respected them. I got in touch with others to show my thanks. I went down into the city once a week and tried to help the homeless. I woke up every morning and listed everything I was thankful to in my life.

Students like taking pictures of their school meals. Bella is one of them. She likes to write too. So she started her own blog (博客). Every day, she writes on the Internet about the meals at her school with pictures of the food. Many students read her blog. 

Bella describes the taste of the food. Sometimes she likes the food, but sometimes she does not. She also tells the value of healthy food. So students know how important it is to eat the right food. Now, many students send pictures to Bella. She shares their stories and pictures of school meals on her blog! 

Bella starts her blog for another important reason. She raises money for Mary's Meals. Mary's Meals works in Malawi in Africa. It offers free lunch to children. Bella calls on her readers to collect money for Mary's Meals. She hoped to raise about 10,000 dollars. But the number went up to 20,000 dollars and still keeps growing fast! 

Bella's blog has also helped to improve meals at her school. Bella and her school friends found their meals improved after she started her blog. 

No one knows what will happen to Bella's blog in the future. But this girl helps to change the eating experience of many children just by sharing pictures of her school meals.

"Oh, boys, boys, don't throw stones at that poor bird, " said an old grey- headed man. 

"Why, sir?" said a little boy. "She makes such a scream that we can't stand her. ""Yes, but she uses the voice that she was born with. And it is probably as wonderful to her friends as yours is to those who love you. Besides, I am afraid the stone will rebound(反弹) and hurt you as long as you live!"

"Rebound! We don't understand you, sir!" "Well, come and I will tell you a story. ""Is it a true story?" "Yes. Every word is true. "

"Fifty years ago, I was a boy like you. I used to throw stones as I had no other boys very near me to play with. I threw them till I became very accurate (精确的) in my aim. "

"One day, I went to work for an aged couple named Hamilton. They were very kind to everybody and everything. Few people had so many swallows(燕子) making their nests(鸟巢) under their houses. Few had so many pets that seemed to love the couple. "

"For seven years a bird had come. After the long winter, the bird built her nest in the same place and raised her young ones there. She had just returned on the day that I went there to work. "

"During the day, I thought I would try my skill upon her. She sat upon a stick near her nest, and looked at me trustfully. I found a nice stone and threw it with my best skill. "

"It shot(击中) the bird on the head, and she dropped dead!"

"I was sorry as soon as I saw her fall. But the thing was done. All day long her mate flew about, and the mate was so sad that he made my heart ache. Why had I taken a life that was so innocent(无辜的), and hurt the poor mate so deeply?"

"I said nothing to the old couple about it. But, through a grandchild, they found it out. Though they never said a word to me about that, they mourned the bird and buried(埋葬) it. I could never look them in the face afterwards. Oh, I had told them how sorry I was!"

"They have been dead for many, many years. But don't you see how that stone rebounded and hit me? How deep it made upon my memory! How deep upon my conscience(良知)! My dear boys, how I want to give a great deal today if I could do something for that poor bird!"

"For fifty years I have carried it in my memory. I have never spoken of it before. Yet if what I have now said shall stop you from throwing a stone that may rebound and deeply hurt your conscience, I shall have no regret. "

The boys at once dropped the stones they had in their hands.
