A little after, the father again asked his son the fourth time, “What is this?”

A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
In June 2013, a five-year-old boy, Toby, was walking home from school thinking about the long summer ahead. Money was tight that year and Toby?s parents had told him they would not be able to afford a holiday.
Instead of dreaming about foreign travel, he had been reading a book, Letter to New Zealand, where the author explains what happens in an envelope?s journey from England to the other side of the world. As they neared their house, Toby asked his mum, Sabine, if he could write a letter to New Zealand.
