(26)A ten-year-old boy confessed to his parents that he was playing with matches on a windy day in October in southern California. The winds were howling that day, and his carelessness resulted in the big fire. That fire destroyed 18,000 acres of woodland and 12 homes. The total damage and the cost of firefighting efforts were estimated at $ 25 million. Ironically, his parents’ house was untouched by the fire.
The authorities did not immediately. announce what they would do to the boy or his parents. (27)An official in the district attorney’s office said that, probably, no criminal charges would be filed. But the parents would still be liable for civil charges. That is, victims could sue for their losses and rebuilding costs. Suing the middle-class family for millions would be the easy part, though; collecting the millions would be unlikely.
Homeowners disagreed on what should be done. "I don’t have a house anymore," said John Ritter. "It will take at least two years to build a new house, and my insurance is only going to pay about half the cost of the new house. Ordinarily, I would say that the boy and his parents ought to be put in jail for at least 10 years. But because their house didn’t burn down, I think the law should just allow me to trade property with them. They can have my burned-down house, and I can move into their house. That’s fair enough for me."
"We all make mistakes, especially when we’re young," said Michael Richards, another homeowner whose house was burned down. (28)"I think the poor boy has learned a valuable lesson. People should forgive, rebuild, and get on with their lives."
选项
A、He will sue them for damages.
B、He will live in their house forever.
C、He will give a pardon to them.
D、He will have them build a house for him.
答案
C
解析
根据最后一段Michael Richards的话中说人都会犯错,尤其是小的时候,人们应该予以宽恕,重建并继续自己的生活,由此推测他很有可能会原谅小男孩及其家人。故本题答案为C.
