I am running down an alley with a stolen avocado, having climbed over a white brick fence and into the forbidden backyard of a carefully manicured estate at the corner of El Dorado and Crescent Drive in Beverly Hills, California. I have snatched a rock-hard Fuerte avocado from one of the three avocado trees near the fence, I have been told that many ferocious dogs patrol the grounds; they are killers, these dogs. I am defying them. They are nowhere to be found, except in my mind, and I’m out and gone and in the alley with their growls directing my imagination. I am running with fear and exhilaration, beginning a period of summer.
Emerging from the shield of the alley I cut out into the open. Summer is about running, and I am running, protected by distance from the dogs. At the corner of Crescent Drive and Lomitas, I spot Bobby Tornitzer on a bike. I shout "Tornitzer!" He turns his head. His bike wobbles. An automobile moving rapidly catches Tornitzer’s back wheel. Tornitzer is thrown high into the air and onto the concrete sidewalk of Crescent Drive. The driver, a woman with gray hair, swirls from the car hysterically and hovers noisily over Tornitzer, who will not survive the accident. I hold the avocado to my chest and stand, frozen, across the street. I am shivering in the heat, and sink to my knees. It is approximately 3: 30 in the afternoon, it is June 21, 1946. In seven days, I will be 8 years old.
The best title for this story could be______.
选项
A、Summer
B、Killer Dogs
C、My Eighth Birthday
D、The Alley
答案
A
解析
从文中第一段中的“beginning a period of summer”和第二段中的“Summeris about running…I am shivering in the heat”可知,这篇文章主要是讲述夏天偷梨后来目击车祸之事,夏天是贯穿全文的主题,B、C、D三项在文中只是提到而已。因此A项为正确答案。
