On a cloudless summer day, 13-year-old Charlie Finlayson was ready for a long hike with his father, David.
Around noon, David was inching his way across a cliff 800 feet above the valley, searching for a line of cracks that would lead them to the top. Charlie stood on a rock a dozen yards to the right as he fed rope to his dad. Reaching up, David missed his step. In the next moment, he heard a sharp crack from above as something larger broke loose.
When Charlie saw his father sailing through the air alongside the huge rocks that had struck him, he pulled the rope fiercely.
“Tell me it’s OK,” Charlie begged, struggling to control his fear.
“I think I broke my leg,” David told him. “And we must get off this mountain.” He proposed a plan: Charlie would lower David half a rope length at a time, then lower himself to the same level, and at a new place, begin again.
As hours passed, they came to the base of the cliff, and David was shaking with cold and exhaustion.
Worried that David would die if he fell asleep, Charlie kept the conversation going; they talked about past travels. Eventually Charlie allowed himself to catnap, checking on his father each time he awoke. When the sun rose on their camp, Charlie was relieved to see that his father was awake.
Just after dawn, Charlie headed off on the trail toward the volunteers’ cabin 12 miles away, bringing back a helicopter that would carry his father to safety.
“Charlie’s as strong as anyone I know,” says his father, “I’m so proud of him.”
【小题1】What happened to David when he climbed up?
A.He missed his step and broke his leg.
B.He lost his way across the cliff.
C.He caught sight of a sharp crack from above.
D.He stood on a rock a dozen yards from the cliff.
【小题2】How did Charlie feel at his father’s sailing through the air?
A.Puzzled.
B.Fearful.
C.Relieved.
D.Proud.
【小题3】What does the underlined word “catnap” in Paragraph 7 mean?
A.become less calm
B.continue talking
C.comfort himself
D.take a short sleep
【小题4】What might be the best title for the passage?

B.An Accident Happened in a Valley
