Ⅱ．认真阅读下面的短文，根据短文的内容从四个选项中选择一个最佳答案
One evening I went out and left my 17-year-old son in charge of his B-year-old brother and 4-year-old sister. On this occasion, the chore was made less troublesome by the prence of his girlfriend. I left **plete confidence that the older children would do a wonderful job of babysitting the younger children and the younger children would do a wonderful job of accompanying the older ones. Later, I discovered **plete confidence was the last thing I should have left home with.
I had decided to return home earlier than planned so that my son and his girlfriend could go out. I called home with this happy news. But instead of hearing his cheerful, grateful voice on the other end of the line, all I heard was the sound of a telephone ringing.
It was, I should point out, after , when the two younger children should have been in bed, and when the two older children should have been answering the phone. "I'll give him a lesson," I said. I decided they must be outside. Why they might be outside at 10:30 on a wintry night I had no idea, but it was the only explanation I **e up with.
Finally, in desperation, I called his girlfriend's hou. After what emed like countless rings, his girlfriend answered. "Yes," she said brightly, "He's right here."

He said they were with him. They had done nothing wrong. My son had taken the younger children over to his girlfriend's hou just for ice cream and cake. This was too wholesome to be believed. Well, it turns out that I shouldn't have believed it. It was only part of the truth.
The following Saturday evening we were at my parents' home, celebrating my birthday. My oldest son gave me the children's gifts. Mounted and framed were a ries of lovely color photographs of my children, dresd in their best clothes, and wearing their most wonderful expressions. They are pictures to treasure a lifetime, all taken by the father of my son's girlfriend.
That was the most precious gift of all.
