问题     Jack Billabong is a stockman. One Friday afternoon he was riding along die track towards the Henderson farm. He was looking for a prize bull which had escaped from the Borrogee paddock (小围场). He reached the hills and saw at once that he could not go further.
    There had been a fire in the forest which had gone out. But die air was still full of smoke and fallen trees had blocked die track. Jack was just going to turn back when he saw something moving in the smoke. He waited. It was a girl on a horse, and she was riding towards him. " There’ s a badly burnt man on die farm," die girl shouted.  " He saved my life.  Please help me to save him. "
    The girl was Cathy Henderson. She had been on horseback for two hours. She had to jump over fallen trees that were still burning. Her pony had fallen with her twice. She was thirsty and almost dead from want of sleep.  But she rode back to the farm with Jack immediately.
    Joe Brook was unconscious when they reached him. They lifted him onto Jack’ s horse. The ride back to Borrogee was terrible. Cathy was so tired that Jack had to tie her to her pony. The pony was tired too, but its courage was astonishing. It followed Jack right to Borrogee Hospital. Nobody saw them arrive because it was night.
    " I’ve never seen a horse like that pony," Jack said. Cathy praised Jack Billabong, but she refused to say anything about die pony, "Joe will write about her in his story," she said.
    But she did say one thing: " If Flame hadn’t returned to the farm that afternoon, Joe and I would have died. "
Cathy refused to talk to reporters about the pony when she was in Borrogee Hospital because____

选项 A、she didn’t know what to say
B、Jack asked her not to talk to them
C、she was too weak to say anything
D、Joe would write about it in his writing

答案D

解析 事实细节题。根据文章第五段可知,Cathy拒绝向记者透露小马的事情是因为Joe会在他的故事中提到它。故选D。
