D. Answer the question（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（共12分） When I was six years old, Grandpa sent me into the woods to gather pecans（美洲山核桃）. Pecan picking was really hard work and my little basket was only half full. Just then, something caught my eyes. A large brown squirrel（松鼠）was a few feet away. I watched as he picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree and disappeared in a large hole in the trunk. A moment later, the squirrel jumped out and climbed down to the ground to pick up another nut. Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place. I dashed over to the tree and looked into the hole. It was filled with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for taking. This was my chance. I scooped all of those pecans into my basket. Now it was full! I was so proud of myself. I couldn’t wait to show Grandpa all the pecans. Therefore, I ran back and shouted, “Look at all the pecans!” He looked into the basket and said, “Well, well, how did you find so many?” I told him how I’d followed the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place. Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I’d been in observing the squirrel and his habits. Then he did something that surprised me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently around my shoulders. “That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter supply of food,” he said, “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will survive the cold winter?” “I didn’t think about that.” I said. “I know,” Grandpa said, “But a good person should never take advantage of someone else’s hard work.” I understood. After supper, I did the right thing.
