阅读下面三篇短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。
A
My friend Gayle has been living with cancer for four years. It is getting worse. During a conversation with another friend, Gayle said that one of her childhood wishes was to have a red Radio Flyer wagon. As a child she never received one because she believed that if she told her birthday wish it wouldn’t come true.
I was at an ice cream stand one day and in the window was a little red Radio Flyer wagon that could be won in a weekly drawing. Every time you buy an ice cream, you could fill out a
ticket for a chance to win. After several weeks and many ice cream cones, I didn’t win. I finally decided to ask the person in charge if I could buy one. I went to the window and as I began to tell my story, I could feel my throat tighten and my eyes were full of tears. Somehow I tried to explain my reason for wanting to buy the wagon, and after writing a check, I left carrying it. The wagon was posted the next day, and for Gayle it was a dream coming true. The following day I received a letter that read:
Dear Bonnie,
Every once in a while there is a chance to pass on a kindness – no questions asked. I lost my parents to cancer. I cared for both of them but could not have done it without the love and generosity(慷慨) of friends – friends who care. The best to you.

A. Gayle asked Bonnie to help her to buy a red Radio Flyer wagon B. Bonnie bought many ice cream cones every time to win a ticket C. Bonnie bought a red Radio Flyer wagon and carried it to Gayle D. a red Radio Flyer wagon is one of Gayle’s childhood wished
