　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

　　When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor named Doctor Gibbs. He didn't look like any doctor I'd ever known. He never yelled at us for playing in his yard, but was always very kind.

　　When Doctor Gibbs wasn't saving lives, he was planting trees. He had some interesting theories about planting trees. He believed in the principle:

　　"No pain, no gain". He hardly watered his new trees, an attitude which flew in the face of conventional wisdom.

　　Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants spoiled them because it made them grow weaker. He said you had to make things tough for the trees so that only the strongest could survive.

　　He talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water.

　　So, instead of watering his trees every morning, he'd beat them with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree's attention.

　　Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I'd watched him plant some 25 years ago. They were tall and strong.
