C
A white-haired old gentleman steps out of his car, bag in hand and coat over his arm, he has called from the office to say that he is on the way. His wife is preparing supper. He can see the light shining inside his own front door. He looks forward to a fire and hot milk. It is a cold night. A few seconds later he is lying on the icy ground in a pool of his own blood.
　　It doesn't happen very often, but it does happen in the capital city of the United States. It is more likely to happen in the near-deserted city center at night. What happened to him could happen to any of us.
　　Senator Stennis, who is 71 , got out of his white Buick at 7:40 p.m. outside his home at 3609 Cumberland Street. Two youths said, "Get out! Money, please." He followed the order. He handed over his wallet containing several cards, a gold watch and the only money he had in his pockets—twenty-five cents. The youths also said, "Now we're going to shoot you anyway." Anyway they did. One bullet(子弹) hit him in the leg and struck the bone. The other entered his chest just below the upper pocket of his suit. It narrowly missed his heart.
　　Strangely he made it across a ten-meter distance, up eight steps and along twenty more feet of stone path. His wife met him at the door, and saw two men running. The senator told her to call the police and the doctor.
　　The senator is a powerful political figure, but it is unlikely that the two young men knew who he was. More likely the reason for the killing was that he had only no more than a quarter of dollar - not enough for two cups of coffee.

阅读下列短文, 从所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳答案。　　 　　

    This was a cloudy day, and hunger waked him again. He was very　　 weak. It was no uncommon thing now for him to fall. Once he fell into　　 a bird's nest (巢). There were four tiny birds, a day or so old, no　　 more than a mouthful. He ate them greedily (贪婪地), putting them　　 alive into his mouth and crushing them like eggshells (蛋壳) between　　 his teeth. The mother bird flew about him with cries of anger. He used　　 his gun as a stick with which to hit her, but she flew beyond his　　 reach. He threw stones at her and by chance, one broke a wing. Then　　 she ran away, dragging the broken wing, with him following her.

　　     He tired the mother bird; but he tired himself also. She lay on　　 her side breathing heavily. He lay on his side, a dozen feet away,　　 unable to move toward her. And as he recovered, she recovered. She　　 flew beyond reach as his hungry hand stretched out to catch her. The　　 hunt started again.
