Ⅳ.阅读理解
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。

LOS ANGELES，Aug.28-Only now is the full story ing out of the surface about the great “Sunny Bear Farce(闹剧)” at Crocker National Bank，but it carries a message for those who would mix bears，money，children，depositors(储户)，tellers(出纳员) and bank vice presidents.
The heroes of the story were those little stuffed animals with bright button eyes that
have long been the panions of countless girls and boys.
Just before the Christmas season last year，the promotion department at Crocket－the nation's 15th largest bank，with 358 California branches－came up with “Sunny the Bear”．The bank claimed that anyone who opened a new checking account of $100 or more would be given a bear.
Angela Bohning，then handling new accounts at the Palos V erdes branch，remembers that “it started out great but then problems began to arise”．
She added，“There were the bears sitting on the counters，
pretty and attractive as could be，and everyone wanted
one.Customers who already had accounts insisted they should get a
bear.One man who had a $50,000 savings account threatened to
take out all his money unless he got a bear.”
“We tried to tell them just to take $100 out of their previous bank account and open another account and some of them did，” she continued.“Mothers would e wit h two or more kids and each child wanted a bear，of course.But it was one account/one bear，no more and no less，so they had to open two or three checking accounts.”
On top of everything else，a shortage of bears began to develop.“It got so short at our branch that we had a bear count at the end of business every day，”Mrs. Bohning recalled.“And we finally ha d to appoint one of the assistant managers as ‘the bear man’ to be in charge of bears.”
As the shortage worsened，various branches tried to obtain more “Sunnies” from banks that still had a reserve(储备) an d the Palos Verdes branch，for one，sent a truck to an office in Orange County.
Finally，Crocker ran out of bears some time early this year，but it took weeks before the outcry went down.
In all 100,000 “Sunnies” went to bank cus tomers.David Sanson，a s pokesman for the bank，said that although it may try other promotions，“we will never e up with anything like the bears.”
