问题     When I was 8-year-old, I decided to run away from home after a quarrel with my mother. With my suitcase packed and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door.
    My mom asked where I was going. "I’m leaving home," I said.
    "What’ s that you’ re carrying?" she asked.
    "Some clothes and food. " I replied.
    "If you want to run away, that’ s all right”, she said, "But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.
    I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again. "Wait a minute" Mom said, " You didn’ t have any clothes on when you arrived, and I want them back. "
    This infuriated me. I tore my clothes off — shoes, socks, underwear and all and shouted, "Can I go now?"
    "Yes," my mom answered, "but once you close that door, don’t expect to come back. "
    I was so angry that I shut the door forcefully and stepped out of my home. Then I noticed down the street two neighbor girls walking toward our house. I was so shy that I saw the big spruce (云杉) tree in our yard and jumped under the low-hanging branches. A pile of dried-up brown needles were beneath the tree, and you can’ t imagine the pain those sharp needles caused to my body.
    After I was sure the girls had passed by, I ran to the front door and knocked at it loudly.
    "It’s Billy! Let me in!"
    The voice behind the door answered. " Billy doesn’ t live here anymore. He ran away from home. "
    Looking behind me to see if anyone else was coming down the street, I said, "Mom! I ’m sorry. I’ m still your son. Let me in!"
    The door opened and Mom’ s smiling face appeared. " Did you change your mind about running away?" she asked.
    "What’ s for supper?" I smiled back.
Why did the author jump under the low-hanging branches?
选项 A、To avoid being seen.
B、To find some needles.
C、To play a joke on the two girls.
D、To attract the two girls’ attention.
答案A
解析 细节理解题。根据文中的“…noticed down the street two neighbor girls walking toward our house．I was so shy that…”可知，脱光了衣服的作者看到有人走过来，为了避免尴尬，跳到树丛中以免被人看到。
