Question

【题目】阅读下列短文, 从下面每题的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳答案
Every Christmas, my kids and I visit my parents who live nearly 400 miles away from us. It is always a tiring 9-to-10-hour drive, but that's the only time my parents get to see their grandchildren.
This year I was the driver, my wife Adriana was in the passenger seat, and my three kids were all in the back seat and our dog Susie was by their feet. We travelled by night time to avoid the heavy holiday traffic. We left the house at about 9:00 in the evening. By around one o' clock, my three kids and Adriana were all fast asleep, including Susie who was lying on their legs. I was also very sleepy by that time, so I closed my eyes for a very short moment. What I didn't know was that I was slowly turning towards the other road and that a truck was coming very quickly towards us. I had fallen asleep at the wheel (开车) when Susie woke me up by jumping onto my leg. When I opened my eyes, I saw the bright headlights of the truck heading towards our car. I quickly turned the car back to our road. I had just missed hitting the truck and avoided a very serious accident.
I looked around, and they were all still fest asleep. I drove the rest of the distance very carefully. As soon as we got there, I told them what Susie had done and we were very proud of our dog. She still gets special treatment (对待) up to this day.
