B

For the third time in a week,Jodie,one of my students,refused me again.Passing my office door,she gave half-hearted wave and walked down the hall.Something was bothering her but I couldn't tell what.I thought it would pass.The next day when she all but ignored me again,a boyhood memory came to mind.

I was riding my bicycle,gliding,carefree,down the street,following a local political campaign,and stopping occasionally to pick up flyers and sweets the candidate （候选人）had thrown to the crowd.My fender （挡泥板）made a strange noise.One small part was holding it on.My father had warned me about it,but I didn't pay attention to his advice. "I'll fix it later,"

I had promised.

I was miles from home；I turned back,taking a short cut,even though I had to cross a four-lane road that I wasn't supposed to go near.I waited for a break in the traffic,then stood up and threw my weight onto the bike.Just as I was about to make it across,the fender broke and slid down over the tyre,blocking it like a doorstop under a door.The bike stood on its nose and I went flying over the handlebars.I fell on to the rough pavement and slid for about six feet.I rolled over to see the cars and trucks thundering towards me.I dragged myself to the edge of the road.For a long time I lay there.My hands and the skin of my stomach were very painful.

All these years later I remember my father's words Better fix that before it gets too bad to fix.Small problems grow into big ones if they aren't attended to.Good relationships could if conflicts aren't dealt with.So,the next time I saw my student Jodie,I asked her, "Can you come over to my office？" We needed to talk.

A. He found it difficult to fix the bike.

B. He didn't want to keep his promise.

C. He thought there was nothing serious.

D. He wanted to better support the candidate

6.What can we infer from paragraph 3______
