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。

　　Ralph Wiley was born in 1926, on March 20. There were eight boys and four sisters, yet he says it wasn't a hard life. His father worked in a sawmill (锯木厂) in the woods. When Ralph was in the fifth grade, the teacher told him to go outside to get a whip (鞭), because she wanted to whip one of the students.

　　He walked outside, got the whip and stood in the doorway with it. “If you want it bad enough,” he told the teacher, “come and get it, because I'm not coming back in.”

　　That was his last day of school.

　　Ralph never did marry. He lived with his brother, Cliff. And he worked on a farm, with fifty whiteface cows.

　　Then he started collecting bottles and cans for the recycling (回收) center.

　　Then his brother died, and Ralph developed diabetes (糖尿病) and lost both legs.

　　Now he lives here in Bradbury Manor Nursing Home, and he likes it. He rolls around in his wheelchair all over the place. He's a happy person who feels life has been goad to him.

　　Why? After all, so many people would feel disappointed if they had never married… If they hadn't finished school… If they were old and lost both their legs and were living in a nursing home. Why does Ralph Wiley feel life has been good to him?

　　“I just do,” he says, “I get in bed by myself. I go to the bathroom by myself. I made my bed myself yesterday.”

　　We all make our own beds, and we all have to lie in them. Ralph has made his exceptionally comfortable. Which is why he shall surely rest in peace.
