1. (2020九上·蓬溪月考) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的几个选项中，选出最佳选项。

It was an early spring morning. I was driving home down a quiet country road. Suddenly, I saw a rock up ahead in the middle of the road. As I slowed to go around it, I noticed that it had a head and was looking up at me. It was a turtle (龟). It was sitting in the sun to warm up.

I stopped to the side of the road and picked it up. I knew if I moved the turtle off to the side of the road, it would just move back to the warmer place as soon as I left. What if it was hit by a car? Not knowing what else to do, I carried it to my car.

When I finally got home, I picked it up again and went to the forest behind my house. After looking around a bit I saw a clear place. The sun was shining down on a rock. I slowly put the turtle down on it and took a few steps back. A few minutes later the head slowly came out and started enjoying the _______ once more. I smiled and went back to my house. My simple act of kindness didn't seem like much in the eyes of the world, but it made a difference in the life of one turtle and in the heart of one man.

Most of us go through our lives and want to make some big differences in this world. However, any kind act makes a difference. Remember this the next time you see a person or a turtle needs a helping hand.
