阅读下列四篇短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B/C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Six years ago, I walked into a local animal shelter on a cold, rainy day. Although my hou was already full of cats and dogs, I still couldn’t resist an occasional visit to the shelter. This time as I was walking down the row of pens（畜栏） full of barking dogs I noticed a small boy looking into one of them.
He had a malnourished looking body and a bony face with a big no sticking out of the middle of it. He was looking at a small, golden dog. Its bony ribs were showing and its thin tail was folded between its legs. It wasn’t begging for attention like the other puppies but was hiding in the corner instead. The boy looked up at me with sad&n一年级简单手抄报
bsp;eyes and asked what was wrong with it. “It was probably abud and abandoned”, I said. “That is why it is so scared.”
The boy immediately turned to an older lady and said, “Grandma, I want this one.” The old woman smiled and walked to the front desk to fill out the adoption forms. I followed and asked about the boy. I found out that he’d had a rough start in life too. She had just gotten custody（监护权） of him after the state had taken him from his parents. She had hoped getting
