阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　I was 15 months old, a happy carefree(无忧无虑的)kid, until the day I fell．It was a bad fall．I landed on a piece of glass that cut my eye badly．My mom found a doctor who knew that if the eye were removed, my face would look ugly, so my scarred(有疤痕的), sightless, cloudy gray eye lived on with me．

　　Sometimes people asked me embarrassing questions．When kids played games, I was always the “monster”．I grew up imagining that everyone looked down on me．

　　Yet Mom would say to me, “Hold your head up high and face the world．” I began to rely on that saying．

　　As a child, I thought Mom meant, “Be careful or you will fall down or bump into something because you are not looking．” As a teenager, I usually looked down to hide my shame(羞愧)．But I found that when I held my head up high, people liked me．

　　In high school I even became the class president, but on the inside I still felt like a freak(怪物)．All I really wanted was to look like everyone else．When things got really bad, I would cry to my mom and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, “Hold your head up high and face the world．Let them see the beauty that is inside．”

　　When I met the man who became my husband, we looked each other straight in the eye, and he told me I was beautiful inside and out．

　　My mom's love was the spark(火花)that gave me confidence．I had faced hardships, and learned not only to appreciate myself but to have deep compassion(怜悯)for others．

　　“Hold your head up high” has been heard many times in my home．Each of my children has felt its invitation．I say it to my children．The gift my mom gave me lives on in another generation．

(1)

Why did the author's mother tell her to hold her head up high and face the world?
[　　]
A．	Because her mother wanted to show sympathy for her．
B．	Because her mother wanted her to be confident．
C．	Because her mother didn't want her to be seen as a “monster”．

When a very young squirrel（松鼠）fell off a tree, he didn’t know that would start a most unusual friendship.

Linda found the squirrel and his sister lying on the ground. They had fallen about 40 feet out of their nest（窝）. The sister was dead. The other survived because he landed on his sister. Linda thought their mother, who was found nearby, died from being poisoned. Many people put out mouse poison and squirrels ate it. Linda decided to care for the newly-born squirrel.

Then one day, he didn’t come back. Two weeks later, he returned with four squirrels, and then disappeared again and returned one more time – on Thanksgiving Day. “He came close, but he wouldn’t let me touch him.

　　In 1947 Angela Mortimer was captain of the team which won the Plymouth Interschools’ Championship．From the moment she stepped forward to receive the silver cup, she was determined to become a Wimbledon Champion．

　　Encouraged by her school championship success, Angela decided that she should have proper coaching．She heard that there was a good tennis coach at Torquay, a Mr．Roberts, who was prepared to give free tennis lessons to promising youngsters under twelve years of age and living in the Torquay area．The fact that Angela was over fifteen did not stop her．One Saturday, she made the forty-mile journey from Plymouth to Torquay and introduced herself to Mr．Roberts．Arthur Roberts was not impressed．He played a few shots to Angela and then told her directly that she knew nothing about the game and was too old to learn．He also reminded her that she lived in Plymouth, which could hardly be considered in the Torquay area．

　　If Arthur Roberts thought he had got rid of Angela, he was very much mistaken．For her part Angela had been greatly impressed by Mr．Roberts．She made up her mind that she was not too old to learn tennis and that Arthur Roberts was the man to teach her．However, her school certificate examination was appearing ahead and she was determined to work hard．Although the headmaster wanted her to stay on at school for another year before taking her examination, Angela begged to be allowed to sit．She surprised everyone by passing with credit in five subjects．

　　Angela then had a stroke of luck．She managed to persuade her family to move nearer to Torquay．Despite what had taken place at their last meeting, Angela properly presented herself to Arthur Roberts and asked him for free coaching．Arthur’s welcome was not a warm one．His time was fully occupied in coaching some promising young players．However, he had to admire Angela．Whatever else she lacked, she was obviously a girl of courage and determination．Arthur liked these qualities in a pupil．“You can play against the wall,” he said, “and if you improve I might help you．”
