B. Choose the best answer to complete the passage(选择最恰当的答案，完成短文):

There was once a wise(英明的) old woman who lived on the hill. All the children used to go and ask her questions. She always gave them __________answers.

There was a little boy among the children. One day he caught a little bird and held it in his hands without anybody seeing it. Suddenly he had an idea and asked his friends to go with him.

“Let’s __________ the old woman，" he said.“I ’ll ask her what I'm holding in my hands. Of course，she'll answer that I have a bird. Then I will ask her if the bird is alive or dead. If she says the bird is dead，I'll __________ my hands and let the bird fly away. If she says the bird is alive， I'Il quickly crush it and show her the dead bird. Either way,she' ll be wrong.”

The children agreed that this was a clever plan.So up the hill they all went to the old woman's house.

“Granny, we have a _________ for you, ” they all shouted

“What's in my hands? "asked the little boy.

“Well, of course it must be a bird, "answered the old woman.

“But is it alive or dead?" the boy asked__________.

All the boys _________ her answer and got ready to laugh at her.

The old woman thought for a moment and then answered,"It is up to you, my child. If you're kind enough, it’ll be alive.”
