问题    I receive many letters from children and can’ t answer them all—there wouldn’ t be enough time in a day. I’ll try to answer some of the questions that are commonly asked.
   Where did I get the idea for Stuart Little and for Charlotte’ s Web? Well, many years ago, I went to bed one night in a railway sleeping car, and during the night I dreamed about a tiny boy who acted rather like a mouse. That’ s how the story of Stuart Little got started.
   As for Charlotte’ s Web, I like animals and my farm is a very pleasant place to be—at all hours. One day, when I was on my way to feed the pig, I began feeling sorry for the pig because, like most pigs, he was going to die. This made me sad. So I started thinking of ways to save his life. Three years after I started writing it, it was published. (I am not a fast worker, as you can see. )
   Sometimes I’ m asked when I started to write, and what made me want to write. I started early—as soon as I could spell. Children often find pleasure through trying to set their thoughts down on paper, either in words or in pictures. I was not good at drawing, so I used words instead. As I grew older, I found that writing could be a way of earning a living.
   Well, here is the answer to the last question. No, they are imaginary (虚构的) tales. In real life, a family doesn’ t have a child who looks like a mouse and a spider doesn’ t write words in her web. Although my stories are imaginary, I like to think that there is some truth in them, too—truth about the way people and animals feel, think and act.
The writer wrote this passage to______.

选项 A、introduce his new books
B、introduce two funny stories
C、explain why he enjoys writing
D、answer some readers’ questions

答案D

解析 根据第一段第二句“I’ll try to answer some of the questions that are commonly asked.”可知他要回答一下读者共同的问题,选D。
