根据短文理解，选择正确答案。

    It started as a special day for Wesley Autrey, a 50-year-old construction worker in New York City. It was about 12:45 P.M., and he was waiting on a subway platform (月台) to take his daughters home before he went to work. He suddenly noticed a man nearby have convulsions (抽搐) and fall down suddenly. Mr. Autrey and two women went to help the stranger. The man, Cameron Hollopeter, managed to get to his feet, but then stumbled (绊倒) at the edge of the platform and fell onto the subway tracks. Mr. Autrey looked up and saw the lights of the subway train coming near through the tunnel.

    Mr. Autrey jumped onto the track immediately. He realized that he didn't have time to get Mr. Hollopeter and himself back up on the platform before the train arrived, so he lay on top of the man and pressed down as hard as he could. Although the driver tried to stop the train before it reached them, he couldn't. Five cars passed over them before the train finally stopped. The cars had passed only inches from his head.

    New York loves a hero. Mr. Autrey became an overnight hero and was named the “Subway Superman”. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg gave him the Bronze Medallion, the city's highest honor. He was asked to appear on several TV talk shows. He was also rewarded with money and gifts, such as $10,000 from Donald Trump, a $5,000 gift card from the Gap clothing store, a new Jeep, and Beyonce concert tickets.

    How did Autrey react (反应) to all this? He said, “I don't feel like I did anything great; I just saw someone who needed help. I did what I felt was right”.

        他被这一大盆金光灿灿的凤尾菊迷住了。
        这菊花从一人多高的花架上喷涌而出，闪着一片辉煌夺目的亮点点儿，活像一扇艳丽动人的凤尾，一道瀑布——静止、无声、散着浓香的瀑布。
不知不觉间，他掏出一个挺大的核桃木雕花烟斗，插在嘴角，突然意识到花房里不准吸烟，他慌忙四下窥探，忽见身旁几片肥大浓绿的美人蕉叶子中间，有一张黑黑的老汉的脸直对着他。一双灰色的小眼睛牢牢盯着他嘴上的烟斗，他刚要承认过错，那老汉却和气地说：“没关系，到这边来抽吧！”
这里便是花房的一角，这老汉是花农老范。老范坐在他对面，“唐先生，您还画画不?”
        他怔住了。“您怎么知道我姓唐?还知道我画画?”“先前，您带学生到这儿来画过花儿，您画得美，美呀……”老范赞美的语气是由衷的，他不禁泛起一阵酸楚和温暖的感动。(A)像他这样一位红极一时的大画家，好比高高悬挂的闪烁辉煌的大吊灯，如今被一棒打落下来，曾经光彩照人的玻璃片片，被人踩在脚下，甚至无人顾惜。难道在这奇花异卉中间，在这五彩缤纷的花的天地里，隐藏着一个知音吗？
        谁能从这老范身上找到聪慧、美和知识的影子呢?老范身子矮墩墩，微微驼背，穿一身皱巴巴的黑裤褂，沾满污痕；面色黧黑，眼睛小，眸子发灰，动作迟缓而不灵便。发现老范仍不时瞅他嘴上的烟斗。“您来尝尝我的烟斗丝吧?”唐先生诚恳地说。“不!”老范笑眯眯地，“俺是瞧您的烟斗很特别……”
        他的烟斗是特别。上面雕着一只肥胖的猫头鹰，栖息在一段短短的秃枝上，“这烟斗是我自己刻的。”他说。他想起了靠边站之后的整天无所事事，想起了某天灵机一动用木刻刀雕刻烟斗的感觉，想起了把每只烟斗都当作创作的倾尽心血的狂热，想起了家里摆满一个玻璃书柜的绝妙艺术品----雕好的烟斗。“美，美呀！”对面灰色的小眼睛流露出真切的钦慕之情，“您要是喜欢这烟斗，就送给您吧！”“不，不，俺要不得!”老范固执地一个劲儿摇脑袋。
        从此以后，唐先生常来花房坐坐，在饱尝冷淡、受尽歧视的他看来，这一片单纯、温厚、自然而然的人情十分珍贵。
        秋风一吹，又是赏菊的好时节。可唐先生却没有到小花房去。半年前，他被落实了政策，名画家的桂冠重新戴在头上。求画的、求烟斗的，让他忙得不亦乐乎。一天，家中高朋满座。外边又有人敲门。打开门，不觉双目一亮。面前一大盆光彩照人的凤尾菊，花后是半年多未见的老范。“哟，老范，是您呀!”矮墩墩的老范笑眯眯地站在他面前，额上沁出亮闪闪的汗珠，只频频点头。唐先生请老范坐下后，就顾不上再和他搭腔，老范一声不响地蹲坐在屋角，露出满足的神情。后来他发现了身边陈列烟斗的玻璃柜。一下子见到这么多雕着花、千奇百怪的烟斗，他看呆了，不禁发出一声声很特别的赞叹：“美，美，美呀……”没人搭理老范，唐先生感到自己认识这么一位无知的傻里傻气的怪老头很难为情。
         在又收到老范送的两次花后，唐先生从陈列柜下边一层属于一般水平的烟斗中，选择一只雕工比较简单、刻着五朵牡丹花的，送给老范。“您……”(B)老范喜得声音都震颤了，眼睛像一对灰色的小灯泡亮了起来，双手郑重地接过烟斗，激动地吭吭巴巴，“谢谢您，唐先生，真谢谢您……”
        又一阵秋风吹起，唐先生倚坐在皮椅上，疲惫不堪。他的一幅画被莫名其妙地定为黑画，他再一次落魄，无人理睬了。这时，他听见有人轻轻叩门。打开门，一盆特大的金光灿烂的凤尾菊正堵在门口。“老范，快请进，请进！”来人把花放在地上，喘着气，“俺是老范的儿子。俺爹今年夏天得了肺炎，走了。他吩咐俺说，他要是不在了，无论如何也要把花给您送来。”“唐先生，您知道俺爹多喜欢您送给他的烟斗吗？临终时，他叫俺把那只烟斗插在他嘴角上。” 
        (C) “什么？”唐先生惊愕地问，他好像没听清这句话。他感到心上像压了一块沉重的石板，他后悔，没有把雕刻得最精美的一只拿出来，送给老范……         （有删改）
