A)阅读下面四篇短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选择最佳选项。
A(2026·江苏徐州期中)
Just help and carefully repair the "holes" you find
(One day, a repairman was asked to paint the boat for a boat owner. He found there was a hole at the bottom of the boat while painting, so he repaired it. When he finished his work, he got his pay and left. The next day, the boat owner hurried to find the repairman, holding a stack of money.)
Boat owner: Here—take this. It's extra for you.
Repairman: Sir, you already paid me for painting the boat yesterday.
Boat owner: No, no. This isn't for the painting work.
Repairman: Then what is it for?
Boat owner: Don't you remember? When you painted the boat, you fixed the hole at its bottom. This money is for that repair.
Repairman: Oh, that was just a small thing—hardly worth mentioning. You really don't have to pay extra for something so unimportant.
Boat owner: My dear friend, you have no idea how much that "small thing" means. Let me tell you—when I hired you to paint the boat, I completely forgot to mention the hole. After the paint dried, my kids took the boat to go fishing. When I got home and saw the boat was gone, I suddenly remembered the hole. I was too terrified to stand up.
Repairman: Oh no...
Boat owner: But then I saw them walking back, laughing, with a basket full of fish. I rushed to check the boat—and found you'd fixed the hole. You didn't just repair a boat—you saved my children's lives!

B. The naughty children.
