B 　　On a sunny day last August, Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea. 　　Two 12-year-old boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search for a football. Once they’d rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control. 　　Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves."Everything went quiet in my head," Tim recalls(回忆). "I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line." 　　Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress. "At one point, I considered turning back," he says. "I wondered if I was putting my life at risk." After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to yell to the boys, "Take down the umbrella!" Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat. He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him. 　　"Let’s aim for the pier(码头)," Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. "Can you guys swim" he cried. "A little bit," the boys said. Once the were in the water, Tim decided it would he safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swan toward land as water washed over the boys’ faces. 　　“Are we almost there" they asked again and again. "Yes," Tim told them each time. After 30minutes, they reached the pier.How did the two boys finally reach the pier

A young woman rode with her new husband in a wagon(四轮马车). They came to a log cabin(小棚屋). The mall shouted and a little boy came running out of the cabin. Sarah, the young woman, got down from the wagon, opened wide her arms and held the boy close.
"Hello, Abe Lincoln," she said. "I think we’ll be good friends."
The new mother with the smiling face went to’ work at once. She washed Abe and his sister and tidied(整理) their hair. And that night she threw away the boy’s mattress(床垫) of leaves and gave him a soft mattress and enough blankets to keep him warm at night.
Sarah wove cloth and made new shirts for Abe. She made him new deerskin trousers and even deerskin shoes.
Maybe, if she hadn’t come to the cabin, he wouldn’t have lived to be a man. When Abe’s father told him not to go to school any more and help on the farm, Sarah took Abe’s part against his father. Abe would rather read than eat, and when his father told him to stop, Sarah said, "Let the boy read."
In 1830 the day came when Abe would leave home to work in New Salem. For the last time she had taken Abe’s part against his father. For the last time she had kept the cabin quiet so that Abe could read.
More than twenty years later, when Abe, who had then become famous, was going to make a speech in a nearby town, Sarah went there just to watch him. In the crowd she tried to make herself small, but he saw her and, in front of everybody, got out of his carriage and went over and put his arms around her and kissed her. Yes, that was her Abe.
"He loved me truly," she said later.
What did Sarah do as soon as she got to the new home

A:She washed the children and tidied their hair B:She made a comfortable bed for the boy C:She made new shirts for the boy D:both A and B, but not C

"Wash every day and you’ll die young, my son!" People often said those words; long ago, of course. Napoleon’s wife had new clothes every month, instead of a bath. ("It’s quicker," She always said). Rich people did not often have a bath. They washed their hands and faces, but not their bodies. Many poor people did not wash at all. A young man once said to a doctor; "Soap and water have never touched my body." (And the doctor answered. "That’s true. I know... ")
why didn’t people wash in those days long ago
Well, they did not have water in their house. They carried water from rivers or from holes in the ground ( = wells). Towns people bought it from a water--carrier. Sometimes it was expensive; and soap was always expensive. They drank water, of course; and so they were clean inside. They did not think about the outside! And this is true; they just did not like a bath.
Modern life is different. We use a lot of soap and water. And we are all quite clean. However, a few people use too much soap; and they often get ill. Who are these people
Many young women work as hairdressers. They wash and then "dress" other women’s hair. That is their job, and they like it. Young hairdressers sometimes wash dirty heads on a busy day! Their hands are soapy for seven or eight hours; and that is not a good thing. A young hairdresser’s hands are often red and ugly; and she must then go to doctor.

A:often died young B:did not often have a bath C:washed every day D:washed every day and died young
