Why did he spend time with prisoners when he could have been playing golf or watching TV? “I go in case everyone else has given up on them,” he told me once. “I’ll never give up.”

　　Never giving up is a quality we honor in athletes, in soldiers, in survivors of disasters, in patients recovering from severe injuries. If you struggle bravely against strong opponents（对手）, you are likely to end up on the evening news. But in less flashy, less newsworthy forms, devotion to a task, or a person, or an occupation shows up in countless lives all around us.

　　It shows up in parents who will not quit loving their daughter even after she dyes her hair purple, tattoos （纹身）her belly and runs off with a rock band. It shows ill couples who choose to mend their marriages instead of ending it. It shows up in volunteers at the hospital or library, it shows up in unsung people everywhere who do their job well, not because the boss is watching or because they are paid large amounts of money but because they know their work matters.

　　1. Why did the man visit the prisoners every week _______.

　　A. That’s his jobs.

　　B. He wanted to teach them a lesson.

　　C. He was a postman.

　　D. He wanted to show care and offer help.

　　2. From the third paragraph, we can infer that when never giving up is mentioned, people are likely to relate it to ________.
