• 2．When I was seven，my family and I were coming back from a T-ball game.In our driveway，we spotted two adult geese and a small gosling.The adults were frightened by our return and flew away，but their baby was still too young to fly and couldn't follow.
     Hours passed，and night fell.The tiny little thing was wandering around our yard，unaware of what could happen，and it was clear that the gosling needed protection，warmth and food to make it to the morning.At that point，we had to bring him into our backyard.
     We all pretty much slept with one eye open for several days.Each morning，we would try to rush the goose over to his parents，who kept coming back to our yard.He wouldn't go to them，though，and they wouldn't come close enough to claim him.The young goose had clearly decided we were his new family，and my twin sister Joanna called the little guy Peeper.
     Almost a year passed and we settled into a routine filled with feathery hugs and company.One evening，my uncle came over，and my dad threw Peeper up into the air to show he could fly around the house，but this time，Peeper just flew off.Everyone was very sad.Twenty years passed，and Peeper became a fond memory for my family.
     In 2019，an aging adult goose made his way back to my home.At first，I assumed it was just another Canada goose.After two weeks of the goose coming back repeatedly，it became clear to me that this wasn't a random goose.He did all of the same things Peeper used to，like trying to come in through the front door and sleeping in our enclosed pool area.Besides，this goose responded to the name Peeper.Much to my amazement，my old best friend had returned，20 years later.
  
  （1）Why did the author bring the little goose home that night？

  
  A．It couldn't find its parents.

  B．Forgive.
  C．Challenge.
  D．Annoy.
  （3）What can we infer about the author from the text？

  
  A．She named the goose Peeper.
  B．She set Peeper free on purpose.
  C．She had a deep feeling to Peeper.
  D．She trained the goose to fly daily.
