Question

3．The big fights from the house down the street were quite common in Marianne and Kevin Naslund's neighborhood．During one particularly serious fight，the neighbor's son Andy Livasy was hit by his stepfather．Watching police cars moving around the street，Marianne realized that she had to help Andy before he"became an angry person who turned to drugs and alcohol"．
A few days later，she invited Andy to live with her family．Andy accepted．No one understood why Marianne would take in a troubled teen like Andy．
Then Andy scowled （怒视） at the world from beneath his long and untidy hair and picked fights with Nick and Jake．At the local high school，he often slept through classes．But Marianne saw herself in Andy．She，too，had grown up in an unsettled family，"with a lot of shouting and not a lot of love．"
It wasn't easy．For Andy，moving in with the Naslunds was like entering a foreign country．"I was used to getting screamed at if I ever messed up，so I was kind of waiting for that，"says Andy．But the day he was suspended （停学） from high school for fighting，the screaming never happened．Instead，Marianne calmly asked why he did it，listened to Andy's explanation，and didn't a llow him to use the computer and watch TV for one week．
"Marianne did it so that instead of fearing a punishment，I didn't want to let her down，"says Andy．"I didn't get into another fight for the rest of high school．"
After six months，he asked Kevin to cut his hair，and most of his anger disappeared．Two years later，he volunteered to teach youth soccer．And though few adults expected it from the boy with the grade-F，in 2010 he graduated on time from high school．
After four years，Marianne calls Andy her third son．Andy has had no contact （联系） with his mom and stepfather since moving out，even though they still live in the neighborhood and say they're pleased with how their son has turned out．And Andy，who recently joined the army，knows where he's leading when he comes home on leave．
Says Andy，"What were the chances of meeting someone living across the street who had a similar childhood，like Marianne，who would take me in and explain，‘You can change your life'？"
32．According to the text，why did Marianne take Andy in？B
A．Because the police would take Andy away．
B．Because she didn't want to see Andy go wrong．
C．Because Andy was driven out by his stepfather．
